If you want wins built from groups of symbols, Fire Portals works that way. The game is played on a 7x7 grid with a fantasy and fire theme. A win needs at least 5 connected symbols, linked horizontally or vertically. After each win, the Tumble Feature removes the winning symbols and refills the grid, and this repeats until no further win appears.
Choose Fire Portals when you want a bonus that changes the board. Between 3 and 7 scatters start the Free Spins, and the Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen for the whole round instead of resetting each spin. The free spins can be retriggered. The game also offers an Ante Bet, a Free Spins buy, a Progressive Multiplier, Sticky Wild and Walking Wild.
Fire Portals spins
Read the bonus rules before your first spin, so the free spins do not catch you off guard.
Three to seven scatters start the round: 3 gives 10 free spins, 4 gives 12, 5 gives 14, 6 gives 16 and 7 gives 18. Special reels play, and Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen for the whole round instead of resetting each spin. Scatters retrigger it.
Base game spinPersistent Fire Portals
Place a bet and look for at least five connected symbols, joined horizontally or vertically on the 7x7 grid. The Tumble Feature cascades winning symbols away and refills the grid until no further win. Fire Portal Wilds spawn, grow and merge within a spin's tumbles.

Fire Portals round
Worried about what one round costs? Each step below explains where your bet goes before you spin.
Pick your bet between A$0.20 and A$300 before the reels start. The bet sets the value of each spin, and the example bets on this page use A$1 and A$5.
Look for at least five matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically on the 7x7 grid. Winning symbols cascade away and refill, and tumbles continue until no further win forms.
Watch for Fire Portal Wilds to spawn, grow and merge inside the tumbles of one spin. Other features of this slot include Progressive Multiplier, Sticky Wild and Walking Wild.
Land three scatters to start Free Spins with 10 spins; four to seven scatters give 12 to 18. Fire Portal Wilds then stay on screen for the whole round.
Set your limit before the first spin, since no spin shows when a session ends. Stop when the balance reaches that figure, not after one more bet.
Practise without staking
A common worry is losing money before learning the rules; the demo removes it.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing, so you can learn the reels first. The real game needs a PokerStars Casino account and the legal age of 18+.
Start playingDeciding how many spins to play means accepting that the bonus round can arrive early, late, or not at all. Nobody can know in advance how often Fire Portals reaches the Free Spins mode, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. A quiet stretch tells you nothing about the next spin.
Checking the RTP before you stake means reading the game rules, because only the rules show which version PokerStars Casino runs for this game. The figures in the table below describe each version on its own, and they do not tell you which one is live on your screen. Compare the rules first, then decide how much to stake.
Weighing how much a big win matters to you starts with the ceiling, which is a multiple of your bet and reached very rarely. Reaching it cannot be planned, so treat the ceiling as a number on the page, not a forecast.
Play Fire Portals only if you are 18+. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register on BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget for Fire Portals before you start, and treat it as the most you will lose that day.
Pick your stop point before the first spin, and keep it even after a big win. A win does not change the budget you set.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so a bad run cannot pull more money from your balance than you planned.
If Fire Portals stops being fun, step away and pause before your next spin, and treat self-exclusion as a real option.

Common questions
Short answers that settle bets, volatility, the buy and free spins before you stake.
Choose a stake from A$0.20 up to A$300 per spin. The maximum win is 10,000 times the bet, so an A$300 stake can reach A$3,000,000. The Ante Bet costs 1.25 times the bet.
Decide whether high volatility suits your budget before you start. Fire Portals is rated high volatility, so the size of wins can vary widely from spin to spin. How often a bonus lands cannot be known in advance, and the outcome of any round cannot be predicted.
Read the paytable first, which shows payouts for an A$1 bet. Then pick a stake from A$0.20 to A$300 that your budget covers before the first spin.
Check the cost before you buy. The Free Spins buy costs 100 times your total bet, which is A$500 at a A$5 bet. The buy is disabled while the Ante Bet 25x mode is active.
Watch for scatter symbols, since three to seven of them start the Free Spins round. More scatters give more spins, and the round can be retriggered. Fire Portal Wilds stay on screen for the whole round.
