Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game studio based in Sweden, is proud to release its brand-new slot game, Fire and Freedom.

This exciting new game transports players to the vast and enchanting Great Plains of North America, the birthplace of American liberty. They will find reels populated with majestic animals while a beautiful landscape runs in the background. Every spin of the reels offers the chance to land big wins of up to 2,000x the player’s stake and experience the thrilling sensation of freedom.

Fire and Freedom has an intuitive layout featuring five reels, three rows and 20 paylines. Players must keep their eyes peeled for the Scatter symbol. When this lands on the middle three-reels, it will trigger 12 free spins. These spins can be retriggered, allowing players to enjoy up to 120 free spins.

During this electrifying free spin round, every win is enhanced by a 3x multiplier, increasing the chances of landing major wins.

The Scatter symbol is not the only one players need to keep their eyes open for. Landing five or more Instant Prize symbols will trigger the Rapid Hold and Win feature. The triggering symbols are held in place during this round, and players are rewarded with three respins. New Instant-Win prizes, Jackpot Coins and blanks will spin, with the spin count resetting every time you land a new symbol. At the end of the round, all symbols are added together and paid out.

There are four jackpot prizes up for grabs: the Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega, which are worth 12x, 20x, 100x, and 1,000x the player’s bets, respectively.

Fire and Freedom is available with multiple RTPs ranging up to 96.25%, and players can use the Bonus Buy options to skip the queue and get in on the bonus action in the base game.

Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, said: “Nothing says freedom and adventure quite like the Great American Plains. This popular theme has long been a favourite of ours at Gaming Corps, and Fire and Freedom offers a new perspective on this popular setting.

The Rapid Hold and Win feature has been a big hit with players, and this is one of the best uses of the mechanic yet. We have no doubt this will become an instant favourite among our playing community.”
