Buffalo, eagle, cactus and card symbols spin across five playing reels, and a win needs at least two matching symbols in 1875 ways. A sixth COLLECT reel sits beside them and gathers the symbols that build the chains. The theme blends Animals, Fire and Western elements on a prairie backdrop. CONNECT & COLLECT is the core mechanic, and linked symbols drive the bonus rounds.
Three to five SCATTER symbols start free spins, and a deep blue night sky replaces the prairie. A chain that reaches the RESPINS position on reel 3 locks its symbols for five respins, and all connections are paid once the round ends. Free spins retrigger through a chain, and spin sources combine. Hold and Spin, Money Collect, Multiplier and Wild complete the feature set.
How it plays
Read this before your first session, when you want the order of a round.
The reels wait for a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240, chosen before the first spin. Each win scales with that bet, so the choice sets the money in play.
On the five playing reels, matching symbols form wins across 1875 ways. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, and the separate COLLECT reel carries the CONNECT and COLLECT chains.
Chains on the COLLECT reel can award money values, add Wilds or land MINOR, MAJOR and GRAND jackpots. Random WILD adds and random C&C symbol adds can also appear during a spin.
Three to five SCATTER symbols on the reels award 7, 10 or 15 free spins. A chain reaching FREE SPINS badge on reel 3 or 6 adds 7 to 25 spins.
Free spins and chains on the reels can run past a single spin, and no one can predict the session length, so set a limit before the first spin.

Extra spins, explained
Settles what starts each mode, what happens inside it, and what you get from it.
A CONNECT & COLLECT chain that reaches the RESPINS special position on reel 3 starts the round. The round awards 5 respins, and all CONNECT & COLLECT symbols lock in place. New C&C symbols landing during the respins also lock. All connections are paid after the round ends.
Base Game chain5 respins
3-5 SCATTER symbols on the reels start the mode with 7/10/15 spins. Reaching the FREE SPINS badge on reel 3 or reel 6 with a CONNECT & COLLECT chain adds 7/10/15/20/25 spins, and the sources combine. The background becomes a deep blue night sky. A chain can retrigger it.
Base Game play7/10/15 spins
Wins land across 1875-ways on 5 playing reels, plus a 6th COLLECT reel. CONNECT & COLLECT chains reach reel 3 special positions or reel 6 for MONEY VALUE, ADD WILDS, FREE SPINS, MINOR, MAJOR, GRAND, or RESPINS. Random events add WILDs or C&C symbols, or award the GRAND jackpot.
Regular spinsChain payouts
Each spin on the five playing reels can open a bonus feature, and no one can tell when the next one comes. CONNECT & COLLECT chains and random adds all depend on chance, so the number of bonus features in any session is not known in advance. Whatever the RTP version, the result of one session stays random.
Every spin on the reels is paid at one RTP version, but the reels never display which version is in play. The RTP version PokerStars Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so the rules are the place to check. Nothing on the reels or in a single bonus round reveals it.
Wins can build on the reels through bonus features, but the top prize on Fire Stampede is a ceiling reached very rarely. The maximum win is x4,275 the bet, and no spin or session is promised to get near it. Treat that figure as the limit of what the game can pay, not as a target.
Fire Stampede FAQ
Unsure what a bet costs or how the bonus starts? Six short answers cover both.
Each spin on Fire Stampede starts at A$0.20 and goes up to A$240. The bets A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$2 are examples on this page, not the limits. Choose a stake your budget covers.
A spin can pay up to x4,275 times the bet. At the top example bet of A$2, that is A$8,550. At the highest bet of A$240, the same multiple reaches A$1,026,000.
Reels on Fire Stampede run at high volatility, so wins come less often but can be large. A smaller stake for the same budget lasts more spins. The paytable on this page shows what each symbol pays.
The lowest stake on Fire Stampede is A$0.20, so a first session can run at the smallest bet while you learn how the features play out. The steps on this page describe each mode in order.
Fire Stampede lists one purchase, Buy Free Spins, priced at 100 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$2, it costs A$200. A higher bet raises the price.
Three to five SCATTER symbols land on the reels and award 7, 10 or 15 free spins. A CONNECT & COLLECT chain that reaches the FREE SPINS badge on reel 3 or reel 6 awards 7, 10, 15, 20 or 25 spins. Both sources can combine.
