Choose Fire Portals if you want a fantasy game with fire at its heart. The game runs on a 7x7 grid, and no paylines decide a win. You need at least 5 matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically in a cluster. When a cluster pays, its symbols cascade away, the grid refills, and the Tumble Feature repeats until no further win appears.
Pick Fire Portals when you want a bonus round that changes the board. Three to seven scatters start 10 to 18 free spins, and scatters landing during the round can retrigger it. Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen for the whole round instead of resetting each spin. The base game adds Fire Portal Wilds that spawn, grow and merge during the tumbles.
Bonus Rules
Useful once scatters start landing and you want to know what the round gives.
Land 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters and the round gives 10, 12, 14, 16 or 18 free spins. Special reels run in play, and Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen for the whole round instead of resetting each spin. Free spins can be retriggered.
Base game spinFree spins round
Start with a spin on the 7x7 grid. Five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically pay as a cluster. Winning symbols cascade away and new ones fall in until no further win appears, and a Fire Portal Wild can spawn, grow and merge during those tumbles.

Round walkthrough
Not sure how a round unfolds or what a win is worth? Each step answers it.
Pick a stake from A$0.20 up to A$300 before the first spin. Each symbol pays a multiple of your bet, so the paytable at A$0.50 shows what each stake earns.
Line up five or more symbols connected horizontally or vertically to form a cluster. Winning symbols tumble away, new ones drop in, and the cycle repeats until no further win.
Watch each tumble, because Fire Portal Wilds spawn, grow and merge inside it. Sticky Wild, Walking Wild and Progressive Multiplier round out the feature list.
Land three to seven Scatters to trigger 10 to 18 Free Spins, and Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen for the whole round. Extra Scatters can retrigger the feature.
Set a loss limit and session time before the first spin, since no result is known in advance. Need help? The National Gambling Helpline is 1800 858 858.

Wondering what each Fire Portals screen shows before you start? These captions explain.
Deciding to play Fire Portals means accepting that nobody can tell when the free spins will start. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP version running on the game. The RTP describes what the game returns over a very long run of play, and it says nothing about your next few spins.
Looking up the RTP version is the first check before you bet. The version running on Fire Portals is shown only in the game rules, so read that section rather than trusting a figure from memory. Each version pays back a different share over the long run.
Planning around the top prize means knowing the ceiling first. Fire Portals pays up to x10,000 of the bet, and a win that size is reached very rarely. Nobody can say when, or whether, a session gets there.
You must be 18+ to play. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose on Fire Portals before you open the game, and keep that amount separate from bills and rent.
Choose your stop point before the first spin, and hold to it after a big win too, since winnings can be lost again in the next spin.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account so the session ends before your budget does, and check them before you start.
When Fire Portals stops feeling like fun, take a break straight away, and if the pull keeps coming back, self-exclude through BetStop.
Before any spin
Most players worry about the real odds, so these answers show what the figures mean.
Check the RTP before you bet, since Fire Portals runs three versions, from 96.00% to 96.06%. RTP is the return the game pays back across a very long run, not a promise for one session. The table shows what each version returns on A$100 staked.
Land three to seven scatter symbols to start the free spins, which give 10 to 18 spins depending on the count. The round can retrigger during play. Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen for the whole round instead of resetting each spin.
Plan for big swings, because Fire Portals has high volatility. Wins tend to be less frequent than on lower volatility games, and the top prize is x10,000 of the bet. Nobody can know in advance when a big win will come.
Pick any bet from A$0.20 up to the top limit, since the game takes both small and large stakes. The examples on this page, A$0.50, A$1 and A$2, are not limits. The highest bet allowed here is A$300.
