A short story from the game world
The flaming gem shifts to the right to make room for a bunch of bananas, an orange, an apple, cherries and grapes. Embers drift across the red backdrop as if the fruit stall were set up a little too close to the forge.
- Built as a fixed paylines game. 1,128 titles here share this format, so it is a well-covered one to learn from.
- Its published RTP of 96.36% sits 0.10 points above the 96.26% median of the other 1,099 fixed paylines games here. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a per-session one.
- The studio grades it medium volatility, which 33% of fixed paylines games here share. Volatility describes the spread of outcomes, not how often a result arrives.
- The stated win cap is 2,500×, in the lower part of the range for this family (median 5,000×). A cap is a rulebook limit, not an expected outcome.
- A studio-published play-money demo is embedded above, as it is for 731 other Pragmatic Play titles here.
- You want a middle-of-the-scale game to compare against — the studio's volatility label sits in the middle band.
- You want to practise reading a paytable — every payout here traces back to a fixed line or a standard reel set.
- You want to try before reading further — the studio's own demo runs on this page with play money only.
