X Bomb Fire

X Bomb Fire Slot Review

Embers drift down through a dark red void, glowing at the edges of the reels like the last coals of a fire nobody is tending. That’s the world of X Bomb Fire, and it’s a fair picture of how the game plays: almost everything that happens here burns up and falls away, and the wins are what’s left standing.

A REDSTONE build this traditional in its symbols has no business running a consecutive-drop multiplier ladder as its only feature, but that’s exactly what X Bomb Fire does. It plays on a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines, wins reading left to right from the leftmost reel except the scatter. REDSTONE’s catalogue runs similar territory in 10 Crown Deluxe, 5 Wild Crown and Wild Crown 1000. Whether the fire warms this one up or just decorates it, the reels answer soon enough.

Symbols, Wilds and the Paytable

The reels carry a compact set of classics. The seven is the premium payer, followed by the bell, then paired fruits down to the bananas and cherries at the bottom of the ladder.

Values sit at the stake the paytable is quoted at, so read them as the shape of the ladder rather than a promise of exact returns. The seven is also the only symbol with a two-of-a-kind payout at all; every fruit needs at least three.

• Seven – 0.50 for two, then 2.50 / 15.00 / 300.00 for three, four and five
• Bell – 2.00 / 7.50 / 25.00 for three, four and five
• Plum and watermelon – 1.00 / 5.00 / 15.00 for three, four and five
• Orange and lemon – 0.50 / 2.50 / 7.50 for three, four and five
• Banana and cherry – 0.50 / 1.50 / 5.00 for three, four and five
• Scatter (rainbow star) – 10.00 / 100.00 / 1,000.00 for three, four and five

The gaps tell the story. Five sevens pays twelve times what four do, and the fruit tier is flat by comparison. Only the highest win on each payline counts, and paylines don’t stack.

The bomb, marked with a W, is an expanding wild that appears on the second, third and fourth reels and substitutes for every symbol except the scatter. Five scatters is the single richest payout in the game, comfortably ahead of five sevens.

All 20 paylines are fixed, so every spin covers the full set from left to right across the grid. There’s no choosing fewer lines to cheapen a spin, and no ways-to-win conversion hiding behind the fixed count.

Multi Drop

Multi Drop is the engine of the base game. Whenever symbols form a winning combination, they explode and disappear, and new symbols drop into the empty positions.

Any new wins that form from the drop are paid, the winning symbols go too, and the sequence repeats for as long as it keeps producing results. A drop that produces nothing ends the chain.

The multiplier is what turns the loop into something worth caring about. A meter at the top of the reels climbs with each consecutive drop, running from 1x up to 10x. A spin that strings together several drops finishes on a much higher multiplier than it started, which is where the game’s real potential sits.

Step by step, a drop sequence runs like this:

1. The reels stop and any winning combination is paid at the current multiplier
2. The winning symbols explode and new symbols fall into their positions
3. The multiplier meter steps up by one for the next drop
4. New wins from the drop are paid at the higher multiplier, and the loop repeats
5. The sequence ends when a drop produces no new win, resetting the meter to 1x

The expanding wild feeds directly into this. Because it only occupies the middle three reels, it lands where drop chains do their work.

Scatters are the one symbol outside the system. They pay wherever they sit, and the wild can’t stand in for them.

What that adds up to is a base game doing all of the work. There is no free spins round, no pick’em bonus, no separate feature to buy or trigger. Every moment of interest in X Bomb Fire happens on the reels you see on the first spin.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 6.8/10

Playing X Bomb Fire is like watching one long spin. Sevens, bells and fruit land, they burn away, more fall in, and the meter at the top keeps counting while the chain holds. That chain is the reason to pick it: a single spin can keep paying long after the reels first stop.

The best thing here is that the multiplier ladder rewards the run, not the hit. A big line win early in a chain is worth less than a modest one at the top of the meter, which makes every drop feel like it matters. The worst thing is the dead air between chains, where a five-symbol paytable and a scatter have nothing new to show you.

This suits players who love the old symbols but want them to move, and it will leave anyone chasing free spins or a feature buy cold. The Crown games cover that ground. What’s here is honest and fast-moving, and the fire keeps burning as long as the wins do.

X Bomb Fire FAQs

• How does Multi Drop work in X Bomb Fire?

  Every winning combination is removed from the reels and fresh symbols take their place, with the multiplier meter stepping up by one for each consecutive drop in the chain. The sequence runs from 1x up to 10x and continues for as long as new wins keep forming.
• What does the expanding wild do?

  The bomb symbol marked W is an expanding wild that appears only on the second, third and fourth reels. It substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, and it’s removed along with other winning symbols when a Multi Drop chain clears them.
• Does the wild substitute for the scatter?

  No. The expanding wild substitutes for every paying symbol except the scatter, so the rainbow star can never be completed by a wild.
• How does the scatter pay in X Bomb Fire?

  The rainbow star scatter pays in any position, unlike every other symbol, which must line up left to right from the leftmost reel on one of the paylines. Five scatters is the richest single payout in the game.
• How many paylines does X Bomb Fire have?

  X Bomb Fire has 20 fixed paylines on a 5×3 grid. Only the highest win on each payline is paid.
• What is the Multi Drop multiplier range?

  The multiplier meter runs from 1x up to 10x, climbing by one with each consecutive drop in a chain. It resets to 1x as soon as a drop fails to produce a new win.
• Does X Bomb Fire have a free spins bonus?

  No. X Bomb Fire has no free spins round or separate bonus feature. Multi Drop, the expanding wild and the scatter are the whole feature set.
• Which symbols pay the most in X Bomb Fire?

  The seven is the top paying symbol on the reels, returning up to 300.00 for five of a kind, but the scatter beats it: five rainbow stars pays 1,000.00, and it doesn’t need to sit on a payline to do it.
