Fire & Steel Slot Review

Journey into a fantasy world where two nobles houses, split by a war that has burned for centuries, battle to be the ultimate master of dragons.

This Fire & Steel slot is a game from Betsoft which seems to have a lot of detractors. We understand why.

The low payout rate and the incredibly high volatility means that this slot machine is probably not a good game for low rollers, but this Betsoft game slot still does have a lot to offer.

Fire and Steel War of the Wilds seems to be nabbing a lot of beats from the Lord of the Rings or the general high fantasy genre. It isn't exactly the same, but it feels the same.

Beautiful fantasy-themed artwork adorn this slot

It is very graphically intensive, so we really do not suggest playing this if you are connected to a bad mobile network, you will be biting into your data plan quite heavily or it will run very slowly.

There are five-reels on the Fire and Steel slot, in a pyramid hexagonal style. The two outer reels have three symbols, the next 2 in have four, and the middle has five.

All in all, this results in a 20 pay lines slot game. The game pays in both directions, which you think would deliver a steady stream of wins to you, but it doesn't, unlike the Tigers Claw online game.

In fact, this slot really does not enjoy paying out at all. When it does, the wins tend to be large, but you are going to stumping up a lot of cash to get to that point.

Double up your wins with Betsoft games

In true Betsoft style, you have the opportunity to double your winnings, should you win. However, this is not a feature that we suggest you tinker with all that much.

The wins do not flow in anywhere regularly enough for you to want to gamble it away. Take all the cash that you can get, trust us on that one.

We know that it can be tempting to double up to replenish your bank roll but think about it. You could have gone dozens of spins without winning a penny, surely it is better to take something than have a 50% chance of walking away with nothing?

Then again, if you are playing this you clearly like high volatility games… so you love risky bets. And this is a risky bet that can pay off big, or make you walk away with nothing.

Fire and Steel slot has two epic wilds

There are two wilds in this video slot. Neither of them are your standard wilds:

• The swordsman will turn all symbols either above or below completely wild.
• The shieldmaiden will turn the symbols to her left and right wild.

Both of these wilds show up a surprising amount for a high volatility slot.

The shieldmaiden is the one that we prefer. It tends to offer the biggest payouts as it tends to follow more naturally on one or more paylines.

Free Spins bonus games with sticky wilds

The wilds play a role in triggering free spins in this Fire and Steel online slot. It does not happen often, but boy when it does, this feature is incredibly lucrative, far more than in A Night in Paris game.

To trigger free spins, the Swordsman and Shield Maiden need to appear on the reels at the same time. The beams that they make (i.e. the beams that make symbols wild) then need to intersect. During your free spins, these wilds will remain sticky. You will be awarded ten free spins.

You can re-trigger more free spins during this game mode, but the likelihood of that is incredibly low.

If you are lucky enough for that to happen, then you will get even more sticky wilds, delivering even more wins.

We love the free spins feature on Fire and Steel. While it is tricky to get the feature rolling, once you are in, it becomes incredibly lucrative. It almost makes those long, dead spins worth it.

Should you play Fire and Steel?

This is not a game for low rollers. Let's get that straight.

However, if you have a decent sum of cash to play casino, then give this a spin, the free spins bonus make it worth it.

It helps that the theme is truly beautiful and breaks the usually silly cartoony world of Betsoft like Mr Vegas or Weekend in Vegas.

It also doesn’t have a bad minimum bet at 0.40 up to 100 a spin, giving you a nice wide range to gamble, even if the low RTP of 95.21% reflect the high variance of this machine.
