Fire and Steel 3D Video Slot: Trigger Free-Spins When Swordsman and Shieldmaiden meet in “War of the Wilds” Face-Off
Fire and Steel by Betsoft is a 3D video slot presented by way of a non-conventional slot grid. Nineteen (19) Viking-themed icons may land as matched groupings in any of 20 paylines. Winning combinations can commence both ways, either from the leftmost or the rightmost reel. Enhancing the pay-both-ways feature are three (3) types of WILD Symbols: a straightforward Wild emblem, and images of a Swordsman and of a Shieldmaiden.
Hope to land on either a Swordsman or Shieldmaiden Wild, as those two (2) substitute icons can deliver additional Wilds in neighboring positions. Fire and Steel slot players expecting to trigger the Free Games, will have a chance to reach that feature when both Swordsman and Shieldmaiden appear as spin-outcomes. The game calls the event the “War of the Wilds,” as the Wilds generated by the two formidable Viking Warriors may meet and clash in a single reel-position. Slot players involved in such an event, emerge as victors, since they get to enter the Free-Spins Bonus Round.
Three (3) Fire and Steel reel elements, the Crown, the Purple Crest and the Yellow Crest award top-pays. The Crown icon awards the highest regular-symbol payout. When 3, 4, or 5 Crown images line up in a payline as a coordinated grouping, the longest payline arrangement rakes in 30, 100, or 250 credits. The Purple and the Yellow Crests, on the other hand, award uniform values for the same number of symbols occurring as payline wins; 20, 50, or 150 credits. Yet the highest rewards to vie for can come from the three (3) Wild Symbols.
Fire and Steel Online Slot: Wild Symbols and War of the Wilds
The Wild, the Swordsman and the Shieldmaiden can represent any symbol, even each other. Three, four, or five Wild Symbols, combining as a winning arrangement in any payline, awards a cash prize equivalent to 40x, 150x, or 500x the Line Bet; but only on the longest payline combo.
The Swordsman and the Shieldmaiden Wilds have the ability to make such a feat achievable, particularly in the free-spins round. In both base and bonus game reels, those two (2) images are capable of generating Extra Wilds. When they meet during a War of the Wilds event, one of the Wilds generated will be featured as a Clingy Wild in the ensuing Free-Spins Round.
The Swordsman Extra Wilds appear every time the robust Viking lands on any reel. His image exudes a beam that extends vertically, either above or below him. The occurrence transforms the illuminated symbols, spawning one (1) up to four (4) Extra Wilds to the column. The number of Wild symbols added depends on the reel in which the wild transformation transpired.
The Shieldmaiden Extra Wild takes a different path when generated corollary to the emergence of the female Norse Warrior. Her beam extends horizontally, either to the left or to the right.
However, the Shieldmaiden's beam adds only one Extra Wild, even if the beam passes over another icon.
“War of the Wilds” – In a spin outcome in which both Swordsman and Shieldmaiden Wilds appear, there is a chance that the beams of those two Fire and Steel characters, will intersect. This is the exact condition required by the game, in order to activate the Free Games.
Fire and Steel Free-Spins Bonus Round
A “War of the Wilds” event that results to overlapping beams not only activate ten (10) free games. The position that serves as merging point between the two (2) Wild Beams, makes the Wild in that particular spot Clingy or Sticky. As a Clingy Wild, it will remain in that position from start to finish of the bonus round.
Now the “War of the Wilds” may still occur during the free games, and result to a retriggering of the bonus round. If that is the case, the retriggered free games will have another Clingy Wild that stays pat in place during the extended round.
