One witch commands the storm, and the other commands fire. The two are portrayed as a pair that could never share a place from the start. Red Tiger‘s Stormfire, released on September 30, brings their fight to a 5-reel, 3-row, 20-payline grid. The day before, its parent company Evolution announced Spinning Whale, a US-only slot studio.
The Storm Wild covers the reel and triggers a respin
The storm witch’s weapon is the Storm Wild. It lands only on reels 2, 3, and 4, and when it does, it grows to cover the whole reel. Each time a Storm Wild lands, one respin runs, and all wilds on the grid stay locked in place during it.
When a Storm Wild lands on a reel that had a regular wild, it expands and inherits that wild’s multiplier. If 3 Storm Wilds gather in one spin, the three merge into a 3×3 Mega Wild with a 15x multiplier.
Since the grid is 5×3, covering reels 2, 3, and 4 turns all three middle reels into wilds. The Mega Wild ties these three reels into one big symbol. Because wilds stay locked during respins, the most common path to a Mega Wild is one Storm Wild landing, then two more landing during the respins.
The Fire Wild raises other wilds’ multipliers
The fire witch’s weapon is the Fire Wild. It lands only on reels 1 and 5 and also covers the whole reel. With 1 Fire Wild, the multipliers of all other wilds on the grid rise to 5x, and with 2 they rise to 10x. It may also place up to 3 more wilds or Storm Wilds in empty spots on the three middle reels.
There is also a basic wild. It lands on reels 2, 3, and 4 with a 2x or 3x multiplier, and if two or more overlap on a line, their multipliers add up. When these small multipliers meet a Fire Wild, they jump to 5x or 10x.
When the two witches meet, it becomes a Giga Wild
When the two forces collide in one spin, the grid flips. If 1 Fire Wild lands together with 3 Storm Wilds or a Mega Wild, the two merge into a 4×3 Giga Wild with a 30x multiplier. Four of the five reels end up covered in wilds.
Here is a summary of the three wilds. The regular wild lands on reels 2, 3, and 4 with a 2x or 3x multiplier. The Storm Wild lands on the same reels, covers the reel, and triggers a respin. The Fire Wild raises other wilds’ multipliers from the outer reels 1 and 5. Since their landing spots are split so they never overlap, you get the picture of outer fire and inner storm facing each other across the grid.
If 2 Fire Wilds land together with 3 Storm Wilds or a Mega Wild, the max win of 25,000x is locked in right there. As our game page explains, once a round’s win reaches 25,000x, the round ends immediately.
Wilds hold their positions in free spins
Landing 3 or more scatters starts free spins, with each scatter adding 3, 4, or 5 spins. During the round, free spins symbols add 3, 4, or 5 spins, and Fire Wilds add 2. Regular wilds land with a 2x to 4x multiplier and stay locked until the round ends, and Fire Wilds also stay locked while raising other wilds’ multipliers to match their own value.
When 1 Super Spin scatter lands together with 2 or more free spins scatters, it upgrades to Super Spin. The rules are the same, but the chance of Storm Wilds and Fire Wilds landing goes up. There are four buy options: Power Mode at 3x bet, free spins at 90x, guaranteed 5 scatters at 250x, and Super Spin at 450x.
In the free spins buy, one scatter can also serve as a Super Spin scatter. To enter Super Spin guaranteed, you pay 450x. Even among Red Tiger’s 20-payline new releases, July’s Diamond Blitz 3 had a volatility index of 4.02, while Stormfire is at 32.32. The max wins differ widely too, at 1,592x and 25,000x.
The number of spins depends on the number of scatters. Entering with 3 scatters gives 9 to 15 spins, and with 5 scatters gives 15 to 25. Each Fire Wild that lands during the round adds 2 spins, so the more often the fire witch appears, the longer the bonus runs. When a Fire Wild overlaps a locked wild, the multipliers across the whole grid rise at once.
Power Mode costs 3x your bet and raises the chance of Storm Wilds, Fire Wilds, and free spins symbols landing. It is the option to use when you want to see the two witches meet more often in the base game.
In short
The Storm Wild holds the grid with respins, and the Fire Wild raises multipliers. When they land separately, each does its own job, and when they land together, they cover the grid as Mega and Giga Wilds. According to our game page, RTP is 96.15%, hit frequency is 47.78%, the official volatility index is 32.32, and bets range from €0.2 to €500. In the demo, start by watching how the multipliers change on a spin where a Fire Wild lands, and the structure of this game becomes clear at a glance.
