ABOUT
Nock, pull, and release! Fire Archer by Pragmatic Play is a slot based on the legendary Robin Hood, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Featuring a generous Free Spin bonus round, Roaming Wilds, and grand reward of 4,000x the wager, among other things, Fire Archer is a trip to the Sherwood players would not want to ignore.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
With the Sherwood Forest in the backdrop of the reels, Fire Archer plays on a 5x5 configuration with 25 paylines. Amongst the available medieval symbols, which are all carefully crafted, is the charming protagonist of the game, who pays 20x the stake for five of a kind. Golden Lion Emblems are the Wilds of the game, which substitutes for every symbol except for the Scatters and pays a hefty 30x reward for five of a kind.
Fire Archer’s RTP is at a stable 96.07%, closely matching other games in the industry. Despite the colorful exterior, the game is no joke as it boasts very high volatility. The special features are one of the surefire ways to win the jackpot of 4,000x and have fun while doing so.
The game’s unique feature is the Super Wild. In the base game, whenever a Super Wild appears, indicated by an eight-pointed target stock, the game will pick one randomly expanding direction where all symbols will turn into Wilds. This of course increases players’ chances of landing a significant win!
The exciting Free Spin bonus round triggers when players manage to land Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously. The game will then reward players with 5 Free Spins. What makes Fire Archer spectacular is the guaranteed Roaming Super Wild that lasts the entire round. Roaming Super Wild randomly changes its position of the reels with each spin, firing the line of Wilds in one of 8 directions. However, in case players land more Scatters, the Super Wild is upgraded - another expanding direction is added as well as free spins.
Finally, players can get instant access to the lucrative bonus round by paying 100x the wager.
Roshtein’s Take
At its core, Fire Archer is a simple and approachable slot that does not beat around the bush with flashy extra features. It provides solid gameplay and concentrates on a single well-made, potentially high-yield bonus feature. I’m talking, of course, about the Roaming Wild with expanding Wild lines which is a rare and unique feature. Despite the relatively low number of Free Spins available, the game has a potential for huge payouts and I love that!
