The gemstones displayed offer small awards, with the higher-value symbols being swords, books, helmets, goblets, a crown and shields. It is the latter two symbols that pay the biggest rewards.
Special features of Fire and Steel
Fire & Steel is packed with special features, all that is tied to the three wild symbols that can be found landing on the reels. Along with a standard wild that can substitute other symbols to make winning pay combinations, players will also want to look out for two principal characters: the swordsman and the shieldmaiden.
The Swordsman releases a magical vertical beam above or below him. Once this happens, the beam turns all symbols in its path to wilds.
Alternatively, the Shield Maiden releases a magical horizontal beam either to her left or right. Her beam will also turn everything in its path to wilds.
War of Wilds feature
However, if both the beams of the Swordsman and the Shield Maiden cross, players are awarded ten free spins plus the symbols that the two beams cross will remain in place as a wild during the free spins feature. Players get ten additional spins if the function is retriggered, PLUS a sticky wild.
Bonus features
Each time players land a win during the primary game they can choose to gamble the win by clicking on “Double Up”. Players must guess correctly on a single toss of a coin and can gamble either all or half their winnings. Guessing correctly will double their stake, guess incorrectly and the victories players have risked will be lost.
