FIRE & STEEL

HOW TO PLAY FIRE & STEEL

Needless to say that BetSoft did an amazing job in the graphics department since the 2017 release boasts state-of-the-art graphics and a fitting soundtrack. The Swordsman and the Shieldmaiden stand on the sides of the reels, ready for battle, while the dragons are placed above. Gamers might even think that the BetSoft title is themed after Game of Thrones, due to the similar visual appearance.

Both Swordsman and the Shieldmaiden function as Expanding Wilds and also trigger the Free Spins feature. As for other symbols populating the reels, punters will come across a Crown, two types of Shields, Book, Golden Cup, Helmet, Knife, a regular Wild, while five types of gemstones function as low-paying symbols.

The BetSoft product features a diamond-shaped grid with five reels and 3-4-5-4-3 rows. Twenty fixed paylines are on the offer, all of them paying both ways, so players can land winning combinations both from left to right and vice versa. Of course, three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts. Gamers need to decide for themselves whether they want to place from 1 to 5 coins per payline, as well as how they will set the coin denomination, which goes from $0.01 to $1.

The 2017 release is playable from $0.5 per spin, while the maximum possible bet is set at $100. For the maximum number of coins per payline, simply press the Max Bet button. If you want to sit back and enjoy the show, just go to Autoplay and set the desired number of automatic spins.
