Mining for gold and gems generally makes for an entertaining online slot machine and this release from Nolimit City adds various layers of subterranean excitement; it’s called Fire In The Hole xBomb and its features include expanding reels, collapsing symbols and Lucky Wagon respins.
Fire In The Hole xBomb is a six reel slot with an initial three rows and sixty four ways to win; all the action takes place in an underground tunnel lit by the glow of distant lamps.
The theme-related symbols include gas lamps, satchels, sturdy boots, coils of rope and pick axes; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A represent the lower values; the bomb is the wild and the gold nugget is the scatter symbol.
Fire In The Hole xBomb Bonus Features
Collapsing Mine & Expanding Reels
Every winning symbol will disappear and be replaced by more falling in from above – more combos may the be formed to continue the fun; the extra feature here is that each collapse will add an extra row to the reel set, increasing the number of paylines up to a maximum of 46,656 with all rows in play. On a non-winning spin it will revert to three rows again.
xBomb Wild Features
Any wild symbols appearing in view will always explode and destroy the adjacent symbols, increasing the number of rows and also increasing the win multiplier for the next collapse by 1x.
A wild symbol will also be created in the Wild Mining feature when three, four or five matching symbols land on the reels horizontally adjacent but not part of a win (i.e. they don’t start from the left hand side). Those symbols will disappear and a wild symbol or symbols will be created in their place. Three, four or five matching symbols will create one, two or three wilds respectively.
Lucky Wagon Spins
Landing three, four or five of the golden nuggets anywhere in view will kick this feature off with two, three or four rows active on a set of reels which only features coins and blanks.
You’ll start with three respins which will reset each time a coin lands on the reels and locks in place; above each reel is a bonus which will be won when a coin lands below it:
- Coin Value – determines the value of the coin.
- Multiplier – multiplies the value of the coin by amount shown.
- Dynamite – destroys ‘blocked’ positions on that reel to unlock the lower bonuses; can also increase the multiplier value of the coins on the reel.
- Bag – collects all coin values on that reel and moves them to where that coin landed, freeing up more positions.
- Chest – collects all values on all reels and moves them to where the chest landed, freeing up all positions.
- Dwarf – collects all coin values on each subsequent spin.
- Collect Chests (lower level) – collects all coin values on each subsequent spin. Any Collect Chest will also award 3x its value when the round ends.
If you’re one of the very lucky players who manages to reach 60,000x the stake during the Lucky Wagon Spins the round will be over and celebrated as Beer Time!

Verdict
Sometimes there’s a danger of too much complexity in an online slot machine but Fire In The Hole walks the tightrope very successfully here – it’s an entertaining game designed to the highest quality with loads of very clever bonus features. Don’t miss it!
