Fire In The Hole Slot Review

Do dwarves use dynamite? Apparently, yes. Fire in the Hole xBomb is an online slot from Stockholm-based casino software developers, Nolimit. On first glance, you might be forgiven for thinking the game is set in the Wild West and based on the mighty Gold Rush of the mid-1850s.

Although a popular theme, on closer inspection, you soon discover the leading man is – in fact – a dwarf; a flame-haired, bearded, vertically-challenged, dude who likes beer, gold, and blowing stuff up. Your goal is to spin him in the right direction and mine some money. This is well-engineered game from an operation that knows its stuff. Nolimit is part of the mighty Evolution Group, which is also home to online casino greats like NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, and Red Tiger.

You might be only three feet tall and stuck in a tunnel, 800 feet underground, but you are in safe hands with these giants by your side. Ready to dig in? Grab a pick and let’s begin…

Fire In The Hole Slot – Look and Feel

Fire in the Hole xBomb is set deep underground in a sombre, candlelit, tunnel. Graphically, you could argue it’s a little confused; these dwarven digs are more California Goldrush than Lord of the Rings. Whatever: it’s atmospheric and lots of fun to play.

The gameplay is quick and responsive. The sound effects are explosive. The music is on point: suitably majestic, mysterious, and cinematic. The leading dwarf is – literally – a blast. Hit a big win and he goes kaboom! The key innovation with the Fire in the Hole xBomb slot is its shifting grid. More on this below.

Fire In The Hole Slot Bonuses

Bonus Name Bonus Explanation
xBomb Wilds

xBomb wilds substitute for any other symbols to complete a combination. xBomb wilds explode to clear all surrounding symbols except bonus symbols and increase the multiplier for the next win by 1x.

Wild Mining

When three or more matching symbols land in a horizontal line but don’t form a win, the middle symbols of the line will be replaced with Wild Mining symbols and all symbols above the line are removed.

Lucky Wagon Spins

The Lucky Wagon Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 or more Bonus symbols.

  • Landing more Bonus symbols causes the feature to begin with more rows unlocked.
  • During the feature, a row of minecarts runs along the top and drops bonuses down onto the game board.
  • Bonuses include coins, multipliers and other symbols that unlock more of the board or increase your prize.

You start with three spins and get an extra three spins every time a coin symbol lands.

Fire In The Hole Slot Frequently Asked Questions

The shifting grid starts as a 6×3 layout with 64 potential winning combinations. When you hit a winning payline, a new horizontal line opens up, increasing the grid size and the number of ways to win. If you manage to blast open the maximum number of horizontal lines, you’ll end up with a 6×6 grid and a whopping 46,656 potential winning combinations!

There are two xBomb wilds in the game. One wild simply explodes, creating more possible wins from a spin without needing a winning combination. The other wild is triggered by matching adjacent symbols that don’t form a winning line. These wilds explode, unlocking more potential wins.

To activate the Lucky Wagon Spins bonus feature, you need to land three or more gold nugget scatter symbols on the reels. Once activated, you’ll get the chance to pickaxe your way to a rich vein of winning spins and potentially hit the game’s jackpot, also known as Beer Time.
