Fire in the Hole 3 Demo & Review

Fire in the Hole 3 review

Fire in the Hole 3 returns to the collapsing mine, where rows open from three to six with each collapse. xBomb Wilds clear their neighbours and raise the multiplier, Wild Mining is triggered by lines of three to six matching symbols without a win, and buried features hide in the dirt.

The new xHole mechanic and xGOD add extra chaos. Nolimit rates it Insane volatility, with a 70,000x cap, the biggest in the series.
