How To Play Fire In the Hole 2 Mobile Slot
The NoLimit City Fire In The Hole 2 slot comes packed full of action as you try and mine your way to up to 65,000x your bet thanks to xBomb Wilds, xSplit Symbols, Collapsing Reels, and Lucky Wagon Spins featuring special enhancers.
If you’ve played the original Fire In The Hole slot game, you know what to expect here. The same explosive wins, special features and a graphical slot with 6 reels and 46,656 ways to win.
Set deep in the mines with just 3 out of 6 rows active, you’ll be looking to trigger the Lucky Wagon Spins, which is where we found the biggest wins, especially if you manage to trigger it with 5 bonus symbols (something that’s easier said than done).
Unlike other online slots where the base game can be tedious to play to unlock the bonus game, the Fire In The Hole 2 game provides plenty of action thanks to a few features.
xBomb Wilds, Collapsing Mine, xSplit Symbols & Wild Mining
All of these special features will make an appearance throughout your base game spins. We found the xSplit feature, which can double the symbols on the row it lands, appears the most often but doesn’t always create a win.
The xBomb Wilds are very much the same, except when they appear, they can create a collapse of the mine, increasing the rows, removing dirt symbols and uncovering buried special features like more Wilds, xSplits and Bonus symbols.
The Collapsing Mine feature triggers on a win, increasing the rows active, removing the winning symbols and letting more drop down in place; it’ll also remove some dirt symbols on a collapse, helping to create more wins.
The Wild Mining feature is one that we found provides the most explosive action. Find 3, 4 or 5 of th same symbol horizontally or vertically adjacent, and you can get 2, 3 or 4 wilds to appear, creating a chain reaction of wins.
We told you the base game was packed full of features.
Is Playing with XBet worth the cost?
If you’re playing without the xBet active, which costs 2.5x your current bet, then you’ll find dirt symbols blocking your way to bigger ways to win.
Play with xBet on, though, and you’ll get a bonus symbol on the last inactive row and no dirt symbols, helping to create more wins and trigger the bonus feature quicker.
It can be a costly button to press due to its high cost, but given that the Lucky Wagon Spins trigger every 1 in 200+ base game spins, it might pay off if you have the budget.
Fire In The Hole 2 Lucky Wagon Spins: Win up to 65,000x Your Bet
The bonus feature you’ll be hoping you trigger early is the Lucky Wagon Spins. It’s set on a new set of 6 reels with 3, 4 or 5 rows active, depending on how many bonus symbols you’ve triggered them with.
Above the reels is the enhancer row, which activates when a new coin symbol lands on the reel below it on a spin. To the right is the 7th reel with the upgrade symbol, which can make special Dwarf collector symbols persistent and upgrade coins and multipliers.
Finally, at the bottom are special chests that you can unlock via special dynamite enhancers. When they are unlocked, they will collect all the values in the reel above it on each spin, increasing the overall win total.
All the bonus enhancers are detailed below in our Fire In The Hole 2 bonus features section.
If you’re lucky, all of these features can combine to create some impressive 1,000x your bet plus wins, especially if you have 4 or 5 rows unclicked from the start.
Typically, we found that our biggest in was 140x our bet with just 3 rows open, giving us hope that you can still win big, but our lowest win was just 12x our bet. Trying the buy bonus feature with 5 rows open gave us a max win of 1562x our bet, a vast improvement, but that’s more likely to be the rare case rather than the norm. So, no matter how explosive this Fire In The Hole 2 slot machine is, it can be hit or miss.

Fire In the Hole 2 Bonus Features
xBomb Wild Multiplier: The xBomb Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the bonus symbol. When it appears, it will explode adjacent symbols, including dirt symbols, but not bonus symbols. It will then increase its win multiplier for the next collapse of the reels.
Collapsing Mine: You start the slot with 3 active rows across 6 reels at the top of the slot. On a win, winning symbols explode, and more drop into place. A collapse can also occur if an xBomb Wild has exploded or the Wild Mining feature is triggered. Each collapse unlocks more rows, increasing the number of ways to win.
Buried Features: During your base game spins, special features like Wilds, Bonus and xSplit can be buried and trapped in the dirt symbols. These can be released by the xSplit feature, Wilds or collapse of the reels.
Lucky Wagon Spins: 3, 4 or 5 Bonus Symbols trigger the Lucky Wagon spins with 2, 3 or 4 rows open, respectively. You start with 3 spins, which resets every time a new coin symbol lands on the reels. On a spin, the row above the reels contains enhancer symbols, which will activate when a coin lands on the reel below it. Enhancers include:
- Coin Values: Sets the multiplier value of a coin
- Multipliers: Multipliers the coins below by the number shown on the cart
- Dynamite: Adds the count on the cart to the coin, then throws that many dynamite sticks on the reels, removing dirt symbols, doubling coin values and activating chests.
- Beer: Reactivated 0 - 5 coins adding their enhancers to the next spin.
- Dwarf: Collects all valus on the active rows to itself.
- Collect Chests: Activated by dynamites, it will collect all values from the reel above it on each spin.
- Upgrade: Appears on a special 7th reel. All the coins and enhancers on the row it lands on will be upgraded: Coins and multipliers make the landing coin active for the next spin. Dynamite, Dwarf and Beer enhancers become sticky, triggering on each spin until the end of the Lucky Wagon Spins.
The bonus round ends when you have no more spins left, or you fill the reels with coins.
Wild Mining: This feature is triggered when 3, 4, 5 or 6 of the same symbol align vertically or horizontally on the reels. How many winning symbols there are determines how many Wilds are left in the middle of the winning symbols. 3 = 1 Wild, 4 = 2 Wilds, 5 = 3 Wilds, 6 = 4 Wilds.
xSplit: When an xSplit symbol appears, it will double the symbols on the row it appears on. It can't split other xSplit or Bonus symbols, but it can remove dirt blocks on a collapse.
xBet: Activate the xBet at the cost of 2.5x your current bet, and at least one bonus symbol will appear on the last inactive row on each spin. All dirt symbols are also removed, helping to increase wins and bonus triggers.
Bonus Buy: Hit the golden star to trigger the Bonus Buy feature. From here, you can buy various Lucky Wagon Spins:
- 70x bet = Trigger Lucky Wagon Spins with 3 Bonus Symbols
- 200x bet = Trigger Lucky Wagon Spins with 4 Bonus Symbols
- 600x bet = Trigger Lucky Wagon Spins with 5 Bonus Symbols
- 3600x bet = Trigger Lucky Wagon spins with 5 Bonus Symbols + 1 Dwarf collector symbols guaranteed.
- 175x bet = Trigger Lucky Wagon Spins with a random number of bonus symbols
Elbeerado: Win the tp 65,000x your bet, and the mine is cleared of all symbols, ending the current round.
