Fire 88

Fire 88 from Pragmatic Play, also shown as 88 Fire, is a compact retro slot with a Chinese twist. Lucky 88 icons, diamonds, gold coins and bar symbols spin on three reels with three rows and seven paylines, and the high volatility means the bigger rewards come in bursts rather than steadily.

Two mechanics keep it interesting. When two dragon wilds land, the reel without a wild gets a free respin, giving a second chance to complete a line. Three 88 jackpot symbols open a pick-and-match bonus with three fixed jackpots, the largest paying 888 times the total bet. Bets range from €0.07 to €35, the game comes in two RTP versions (95.47% and 96.45%) and the maximum win is €31,580. It is a good choice for players who like short, classic sessions with a jackpot hook.

Every win needs three matching symbols on one of the seven lines. The 88 symbol pays up to 500 coins, the diamond 300, the coin 150, the triple bar 75, the double bar 30 and the single bar 15. The dragon wild substitutes for all symbols and is the most valuable icon, paying up to 1,250 coins for three on a line.

• Wild respin: two wilds on screen trigger a free respin of the reel that has no wild.
• Jackpot bonus: three 88 jackpot symbols start a game where you pick coins to reveal jackpot icons.
• Prizes: match three of the same icon to win the Grand (888x the total bet), Major (88x) or Mini (38x) jackpot.
