Fire In The Hole 4

Playin exclusive, then the release

The studio page prints 10 November 2026 as exclusive early access and 17 November 2026 as the release date. The page says the slot is set to go live on the 17th of November, 2026. Do not read the exclusive date as a lobby go-live. The game is not out yet.

The intro says the dwarf has been sighted, and that teasers, screenshots, reviews, and a free demo will be posted before go-live. The stats row and the feature list on the same page are already filled.

That is the dig the series is known for. A collapsing shaft. Wild multipliers. A wagon that collects. The fourth file prints its own sheet: Lucky Nugget Spins and a 75,000× cap, not these 1–3 ceilings.

What the fourth file prints

Collapsing Waterfall. Each spin starts with 3 active rows. A collapse adds a row, up to 6. A collapse can start from a winning combination, an xBomb Wild explosion, or Wild Mining.

xBomb Wild substitutes for any symbol except Bonus symbols. An exploding xBomb removes every symbol in its row and column except Bonus symbols, and adds +1 to the win multiplier for the next collapse. It can then become an xBomb Wild, an xWays, an Infectious xWays, or a paying symbol.

xWays and Infectious xWays can be revealed from an xBomb Wild. An xWays becomes a paying symbol of size 2–4. An Infectious xWays does the same and infects every copy of that symbol. More than one Infectious xWays do not affect each other.

xSplit doubles the symbols on its row and column. xSplit symbols are not split. Dirt affected by a split is removed if there is a collapse. A split revealed from a Dirt symbol triggers on the next collapse.

Wild Mining, in the base game, needs 3, 4, 5, or 6 of the same symbol in a horizontal or vertical line, with no winning combination and no active xBomb Wild. That awards 1, 2, 3, or 4 wilds in the middle of the line. Positions above the bar explode, except Bonus and Dirt Buried symbols.

Dirt in the base game can bury an xBomb Wild, an xSplit, or Bonus symbols. Those stay inactive until the dirt block is removed or hit by xSplit or xBomb.

Lucky Nugget Spins open on 3 or more Bonus symbols. 4 active rows, Collector Chests on the bottom row, an Upgrade Reel on the right. The feature starts with 3 spins and resets to 3 when a Nugget lands. Nugget and Dwarf values are multiples of the active bet. The Upgrade Reel can land x2, x3, x5, x10, x25, or x100. Enhancers on the top row are Nugget values, multipliers, Dynamite, Dwarf, Freeze Cell, and Evil Dwarf.

A ways count is not printed. The page describes xWays and xSplit as increasing the ways to win.

Buys, the cap, and what is missing

Feature buy-in: yes. Bonus mode: yes. Studio RTP 96.01%. Hit frequency 22.18%. Max-win probability 1 in 40m. Free spins 1 in 205. Reels and rows 6-6-6-6-6-6. Bets €0.20 / €100.00. Max payout 75,000× the base bet. MOTHERLOAD ends the round at that cap and pays 75,000×.

Guaranteed Dwarf & Nuggets costs 1,500× the base bet: Lucky Nugget Spins, every Upgrade Reel position unlocked, a guaranteed Dwarf on the top row every spin, and a full row of Nuggets on the first spin. Guaranteed Dwarf 800×. Guaranteed Evil Dwarf 650×. Guaranteed Random Dwarf 1,000× (Dwarf or Evil Dwarf). Each of those unlocks every Upgrade Reel position and guarantees that dwarf on the top row every spin.
