Fire Archer Slot Review

Fire Archer: Slot Overview

Fire Archer from Pragmatic Play drops me straight into a Sherwood style forest, with the hooded archer standing to the right of the 5x5 grid. It is not an official Robin Hood slot, yet the nods are obvious, from the castle in the distance to the quiver at his side. What keeps me spinning is how that fiery arrow links into the Super Wild mechanic on any spin.

Visually Fire Archer hits that classic mediaeval tone, and the cheerful soundtrack fits the Robin style fantasy well without getting on my nerves in longer sessions. Under the surface the game feels straightforward, which I like when the main feature carries the weight. The whole slot is built around Super Wilds that can spread extra wild symbols and a free spins round where one upgraded Super Wild dominates the screen.

Fire Archer Slot Information and Setup

Fire Archer runs on a 5 reel, 5 row layout with 25 fixed paylines, so I always know where wins can land. Bets start at 0.25 and go up to 125 per spin, which covers casual play and higher stakes chasing the big hits. The default RTP sits at 96.07 percent, though some casinos use lower settings, and the game plays as a classic high volatility slot.

In sessions the hit rate feels around one win every few spins, but the real swings arrive when the Super Wild does its work. Max win is 4000 times the bet, which matches what Pragmatic Play advertises across the reviews I have seen. Non UK players can buy the bonus for 100 times stake, nudging the RTP to about 96.1 percent and giving quicker shots at those premium setups.

Symbols and Paytable in Fire Archer

On the reels Fire Archer keeps things familiar with a mix of card icons and theme symbols. The low tier set is 10, J, Q, K and A, paying from 1.6 up to about 3 times stake for five of a kind, so they keep the balance ticking without doing anything dramatic. Premium icons cover the tankard of mead, feathered hat, money pouch and the archer himself as the top symbol.

Full lines of premiums range from 8 to 20 times bet, with the archer delivering the headline payout when he lines up across all five reels. The regular wild is a golden lion, and it steps in for standard symbols on any line. Landing five wilds pays 30 times stake on a single line, which is why I always keep an eye on how those wilds line up when the Super Wild fires.

The quiver scatter only lands on reels one, three and five, and hitting all three together is the way into free spins rather than a straight cash prize. The Super Wild itself is a target board icon that can hit on any reel. I like to glance at the paytable before I start, as it sets out clearly how those arrows can change basic wins into stronger lines.

Super Wild Feature in Fire Archer

When a Super Wild lands in Fire Archer it comes with eight small pointers around the target, and the archer on the right fires a flaming arrow to light between one and eight directions. Every symbol along each lit direction turns into a regular wild up to the edge of the grid. I have had spins where nothing connects and others where the pattern drops several wild lines at once.

Free Spins in Fire Archer Slot

In Fire Archer three quiver scatters on reels one, three and five trigger five free spins, and this is where I feel the game shows its full potential. A single Super Wild is always present during the round, moving to a new random position after every spin. No extra Super Wilds can appear, so all the focus is on that one target and how far it reaches with each arrow.

At the start the roaming Super Wild is assigned a level from one to eight, and that number tells you how many directions will light on each spin. Landing two scatters during the feature upgrades the level by one and awards one to three extra spins, up to level eight where upgrades stop. Free spins can be slow at low levels, but when I get level four or higher the screen can explode with wilds.

Fire Archer Slot Verdict

For me Fire Archer hits a nice balance between simple mechanics and tense, spiky sessions. The base game feels steady thanks to frequent Super Wild hits, yet the real drama comes when that roaming Super Wild in free spins reaches higher levels and starts throwing wilds in several directions. The 4000 times cap is not massive by modern standards, but it fits the way this high variance archer plays.
