Firehouse Hounds Introduction

Theme
Firehouse Hounds is a cute online pokie that plays on the notion that all firehouses have a Dalmatian dog as a resident pet. In this game, the Dalmatians are the firefighters, dressed in uniforms and manning hoses to help put out fires across the city. The graphics are animated in a quirky and cartoony art style, and two firehouse hounds that are animated in 3D stand along the bottom of the reels.
The overall look of the game is very fun and cute, which makes for an engaging gaming experience. Format Betting is fixed on 30 lines, and the wager is fixed at 40 coins (the 10 extra coins are to trigger the bonus feature). While this may not seem like a very flexible betting format, it ensures that players never lose out on a chance to win or to trigger the bonus.
The flexibility comes from the coin value, which players can adjust between $1 and $50.
Generous Payouts
When three, four or five matching symbols land on the reels, the player is offered generous payouts. These are the top prizes available from each symbol on a 200-coin bet:
- Red 7: 500 coins
- Blue 7: 300 coins
- Purple 7: 250 coins
- Green 7: 200 coins
- Yellow 7: 200 coins
- Firefighter’s hat: 150
- Fire hydrant: 125 coins
- Toolbox: 100 coins
- Extinguisher: 100 coins
- Hose: 75 coins
- Axe: 75 coins
When any five 7 symbols land on the reels, the player receives 40-coin payout. This type of mixed combination is rare in online pokies, but it offers up very generous winning potential.
Wild Fire Feature
This is a random base game feature in which reel 1 or reel 5 (or both reels) can turn completely wild. The reels will be set on fire and one of the two hounds at the bottom of the screen will spray them, leaving behind a full reel of wilds that help to increase the player’s chances of hitting generous prizes.
Wild Fire Free Spins
When three bonus symbols land on the reels, the player will trigger the Wild Fire Free Spins Bonus. Players are prompted to pick a fire pole which will determine the number of free spins that the player receives. Between 4 and 6 free spins are available, and players can retrigger the bonus until they have played 200 games in total. During this round, reels 1 and 5 turn completely wild, so there is the chance for some very generous prizes to be awarded.
