Fire in the Hole 2 summary
Grab your pickaxe and prepare for a highly explosive return to the mines. Nolimit City brings their favorite dwarf back for another deep underground adventure in the Fire in the Hole 2 slot. The action starts on a six by three grid but can quickly expand to a massive six by six layout, offering up to 46,656 ways to win. You will dig through dirt and crystal formations to uncover hidden treasures and buried features. If you are ready to start blasting through the bedrock without spending any real money, you can play for free right here on Playin.com.
Base Game Mechanics and Features
The base game utilizes a dynamic Collapsing Mine mechanic where every winning combination, Wild Mining trigger, or xBomb explosion clears symbols and opens up a new row. The xBomb Wild Multiplier substitutes for regular symbols and explodes to destroy adjacent blocks, increasing your win multiplier for the next collapse. You will also uncover Buried Features hidden in dirt blocks, which remain inactive until freed by adjacent explosions or the powerful xSplit mechanic, which divides symbols on its row to double their count. Players can even activate the xBet feature to guarantee a bonus symbol on the last inactive row, drastically altering the rhythm of the game.
Bonus Rounds and Free Spins
Landing three or more bonus symbols blows the mine wide open and triggers the Lucky Wagon Spins. This hold and win style feature grants you three spins that reset every time a coin lands on the grid. A top row of minecarts rolls in on every spin to award enhancers like coin values, multipliers, dynamites, beer, and the dwarf symbol which collects all values. The sequel introduces a brand new seventh reel that reveals Upgrade Crystals. These crystals can make your regular enhancers persistent, applying their effects on every single spin for massive payouts. You can test your explosive mining strategies in a free slot tournament to compete against other diggers for real cash prizes.
Volatility Rating and Potential
Nolimit City is famous for creating intense math models, and this underground expedition carries an Extreme volatility rating. The absolute maximum win potential, known as the El Beerado payout, reaches a staggering 65,000 times your base bet. Because the cavern collapses and modifier combinations can be highly unpredictable, practicing your strategy with virtual currency is incredibly beneficial. By utilizing your Playin coins, you can safely learn how the upgrade crystals and expanding grid mechanics work before deciding to play with actual funds.

Game Features
Each spin begins with 3 active rows and for each collapse an additional row becomes active up till 6 rows. A new collapse can be triggered by the following events: • A winning combination. • xBomb Wild explosion. • Wild Mining feature triggered. Winning symbols are paid out and removed before triggering next collapse, which will make all symbols fall downwards leaving empty position for new symbols to drop in from above.
Dirt symbols in main game may contain a Wild, Split or Bonus symbols. Feature symbols buried in dirt are inactive until the dirt block they are contained in is removed or hit by an Split feature.
An xBomb Wild symbol substitutes for any symbol except Bonus symbols. An exploding xBomb Wild removes adjacent symbols except for Bonus symbols and will increase the win multiplier by its value for the next collapse. All xBomb Wild will explode before the next collapse except when the Wild Mining feature is triggered.
Wild Mining will be triggered in main game when 3, 4, 5 or 6 of the same kind of symbols align horizontally or vertically and there is no winning combination. The triggering symbols will be removed creating Wild symbols in the middle positions of the alignment: • 3 symbols award 1 Wild • 4 symbols award 2 Wilds • 5 symbols award 3 Wilds • 6 symbols award 4 Wilds All other positions above the bar will explode if not a Bonus or Wild symbol and trigger a new collapse.
At a total cost of 250% of the base bet, at least 1 Bonus symbol is guaranteed on the last inactive row for each spin. Additionally, all dirt positions are removed from the main game, making the buried features land without the dirt and trigger immediately when they are in the active reels. The payout for each symbol is not affected.
An xSplit® symbol splits symbols on its row, doubling those symbols. Symbols spliting into 8 or more will be shown with a multiplier instead. Bonus symbols and xSplit® symbols cannot be split. Once all xSplit® symbols have activated, they all turn into one of the regular symbols. Dirt blocks affected by a split feature are removed if there is a collapse.
3,4 or 5 Bonus symbols trigger the Lucky Wagons Spins with 2, 3 or 4 rows of the reel area open initially.

During the feature the top row will reveal enhancers for each spin - Coin values, Multipliers, Dynamite, Beer or Dwarf. An enhancer is activated when a coin lands on the reel below the enhancer. UPGRADE CRYSTAL The additional 7th reel may reveal Upgrade symbols each spin. All the enhanceractivating Coins landing on the Upgrade symbol row will gain the below additional effect: • Coin values and Multiplier will cause the Coin to continue to be active for the next spin. • Dynamite, Beer and Dwarf features become persistant features, activating their effects until Lucky Wagon Spins end. The Below enhancers may appear on the top row: COIN VALUES Sets the value of the coin. MULTIPLIERS Multiplies the value of all coins on the reel below the enhancer. DYNAMITE Adds the Dynamite count as times bet value to the triggering coin. It then throws as many Dynamites as its count on reel positions. • If it lands on Dirt: will remove Dirt symbol. • If it lands on Coin: will double its Coin value. • If it lands on Chest: will activate the Chest. BEER Reactivates 0-5 old Coins which makes them trigger their respective enhancers for the next spin. Triggering coin gets value 1x. DWARF Collects all values in the reel area at the triggering coin position. COLLECT CHESTS During the feature the bottom row Collect Chest can be activated by Dynamites. When a Collect Chest is activated it will collect the values in the reel area for the corresponding column above for every spin. Lucky Wagon Spins will end if the reel area is full and there are no active features for remaining spins.

Game xMechanics
At an extra cost per spin, the player gets an increased chance of getting into the Bonus Modes. The way this happens varies from game to game. The payout for each symbol is not affected.
An xBomb Wild symbol substitutes any symbol except for the Bonus symbols. An exploding xBomb Wild removes adjacent symbols except for Bonus symbols and will increase the win multiplier by one for the next collapse. All xBomb Wilds will explode before the next collapse, except when the Wild Mining feature is triggered. An xBomb Wild will explode when there is a win, no matter if it’s a part of the winning combination or not. It will explode and trigger a new collapse if there isn’t a win, and wild Mining feature is not triggered.
xSplit® was first made available within xWays Hoarder xSplit, released in July 2021. On this first occasion, xSplit symbols go a long way towards assisting wins through the feature, as any xSplit symbols in view to the right of a Scatter symbol will turn the Scatter into a Super Scatter symbol – which within this release assists in progressing the feature through several levels. However, aside from the progression through bonus levels, xSplit as individual symbols increase win ways during base play. Any xSplit symbol in view will split all symbols to the left of it into two, increasing the ways to win. After this, the xSplit symbols will turn into wilds – for the potential of huge wins.
