How 12 Masks of Fire Drums plays
The base game keeps the series look, with line pays on a 5x3 grid, but three special symbols do most of the work:
- Fiery masks: the scatter-style Epic Strike symbol. Three or more anywhere in view pay a prize, from 1x the bet for three up to 3,000x for twelve.
- Diamond wilds: they substitute on the lines and are collected into a pot that can randomly award the Epic Strike Bonus or free spins.
- Drums: the free spins symbols, which only matter on the middle three reels.
Drums also feed a feature called Rising Rewards. Each time two drums land on reels 2 and 3 in the base game, the multiplier waiting for the next free spins round goes up by 1x, to a ceiling of 10x. The multiplier carries into the bonus and applies to its wins.
Fire Drums free spins
Three drums on reels 2, 3 and 4 start the Fire Drums free spins with just three spins on the counter. The round then works like a ladder: collecting more drums moves you up a level, which adds one row and resets the counter to three.
There are eight levels in all, so a long run can stretch the grid from 3 rows to 10 rows, raising the paylines from 20 to 48 along the way. The Rising Rewards multiplier collected in the base game applies to wins throughout. This growing grid is the feature that sets the game apart.
