Plain base spins, then free spins

Decide your bet first, anywhere from A$0.20 to A$300, then spin the 7x7 grid. Fire Portals mixes Fantasy and Fire themes, with a sorceress, a gemstone ring, a potion bottle and a blue hourglass among its symbols. A win needs a cluster of at least 5 connected symbols, linked horizontally or vertically. Winning symbols cascade away, the grid refills, and the tumbles repeat until no further win forms.

Track the Fire Portal Wilds, which set this slot apart. In the base game a Wild spawns, grows and merges within one spin's tumbles. Three to seven scatters start Free Spins, giving 10 to 18 spins on special reels. During those spins the Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen rather than resetting, and new scatters can retrigger the round.

How do the Fire Portals free spins work?

Clears up whether the bonus round is fixed or comes down to luck.

Paid round, wilds that stick

Scatters land three or more times and pay out 10, 12, 14, 16 or 18 free spins for three to seven of them; the round can retrigger. Fire Portals are not wiped between spins and instead stay on the reels until the round ends.

Paying for every spinPersistent wilds

Cluster pays and tumbling reels

Every round begins on the plain 7x7 grid, where five or more matching symbols joined in a line count as a cluster. Winning symbols tumble away and new ones drop in until nothing else connects, while the Fire Portals wild opens, grows and merges as the cascade runs.

Paid Routes Into the Round

Every paid extra is priced as a multiple of your stake, so the cash figure moves with your bet — at A$5 a spin the shortcut costs A$500.

Fire Portals in a round

How does a single spin of Fire Portals run?

Use this when you want the shape of a spin worked out before you commit any money.

  1. Setting your stake first

    Pick a stake anywhere from A$0.20 to A$300 and the figure shows on the spin button. Nothing else changes the odds per spin; the stake only scales what each winning cluster hands back.

  2. Cash from connected clusters

    Land five or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically and they form a paying cluster. Those symbols drop away, new ones fall in, and the cycle repeats until a refill brings no fresh win.

  3. Watch the portal multiplier climb

    A Fire Portal wild lands as a walking wild, then grows and merges across the tumbles of that same spin. Keep watching the multiplier climb as the sequence runs rather than resetting on each drop.

  4. Scatter count to free spins

    Three scatters on the grid open 10 free spins, and each extra scatter adds two more that can be retriggered. Portals stay put for the whole round instead of clearing after each spin.

  5. Fix your exit before spinning

    Decide your stopping point before the first spin, since high volatility can run cold for long stretches. Set a loss figure and a time limit, and leave when either is reached.

Random results and bonus timing

Deciding to spin Fire Portals means accepting that how often the bonus round comes cannot be known in advance. No one can predict it from the bet, the RTP version or previous spins. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP of the version running.

Choosing to play Fire Portals means playing whichever RTP version Midnight Casino runs, and only the game rules show which one that is. Fire Portals comes in three RTP versions. The table on this page sets out what each returns per A$100 staked.

Before you count on the top prize, know that the maximum win of Fire Portals is a ceiling reached very rarely. Its size is set as a multiple of the bet, so it grows with the stake but never becomes certain. Each spin stays a separate result, and no earlier spin hints at when it will land.

Fire Portals FAQ

Look up the stake rules first

Most players worry about the cost of a spin and the size of the wins.

What bets can I play on Fire Portals in Australia?

Pick any stake from A$0.20 up to A$300 for each spin. The paytable shows payouts at A$0.40, and A$5 is the example top bet used throughout this page. Turning on Ante Bet makes each spin cost 1.25 times the stake.

How many scatters do I need for Fire Portals free spins?

Land 3 to 7 scatter symbols to start the bonus round. Three scatters give 10 free spins, and seven give 18. Extra scatters during the round add more spins because the feature is retriggerable.

Can I try Fire Portals in demo mode before playing for real money?

Open Fire Portals from the Midnight Casino game lobby to see its layout and paytable. The paytable is set to A$0.40, so check the payouts at that stake before you raise your bet.

Can I buy the Fire Portals free spins bonus and what does it cost?

Buy the free spins round for 100 times the total bet, which is A$500 at the A$5 example bet. The buy is disabled while Ante Bet 25x mode is active. Choose it only if you accept that the cost is paid before any result is known.

What is the biggest win I can get on Fire Portals?

Treat the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. The maximum win is 10,000 times the bet, which is A$50,000 at the A$5 example bet. At the A$300 top bet, the same multiple reaches A$3,000,000.

How volatile is Fire Portals, and how often does it pay?

Choose a stake that suits a high volatility game, because wins are less frequent and can be larger. The results of any session cannot be predicted, so a short session can end with no big win.
