Fireborn Slot Review

Fireborn Slot Overview

Fireborn from Backseat Gaming throws me into a frozen valley watched over by a brooding castle, while four dragons lurk in the wings waiting to torch the grid with wilds and multipliers. The set-up sticks to the studio’s favoured 5-reel, 5-row layout with 19 fixed paylines, so it feels familiar if you have played their other titles, but the dragon modifiers give this one a different heartbeat.

The first few sessions felt quite chilly, both in terms of visuals and gameplay, as the dragons can be rather shy in the base game. Spins can trundle by with only modest line wins, yet when a Red or Blue Dragon finally hits, the whole grid flares up and you get that reminder that Fireborn can turn from placid to feral in a single spin.

Fireborn Slot Information

Fireborn uses a 5x5 grid with 19 paylines running left to right, and wins land when at least three matching symbols connect from the first reel. I usually stake between 0.20 and 0.60 per spin, but the game accepts anything from 0.10 up to 100, which covers low-stakes grinding and more aggressive punting. It works well on both mobile and desktop, with the same straightforward control layout across devices.

The low pays are stone carved royals 10, J, Q, K and A, which keep returning small hits. A full line of five low symbols pays between 1x and 1.5x the stake, so they mainly keep things ticking while you wait for dragons or premiums. They show up often enough that you get regular feedback from the reels, but you will not go far on these icons alone.

Premiums are jewelled pieces in blue, green, red and a bright diamond. Five of a kind pays from 4x up to 10x the bet, with the diamond acting as the standard top symbol. The cart filled with gemstones is the Wild, paying like the diamond when you line up five and substituting for all regulars. Scatters appear only in the base game and trigger free spins when three or more land.

Fireborn Slot Features

Most of the excitement in Fireborn comes from the four Dragon symbols, which either throw extra Wilds on the grid or load them up with multipliers. Red Dragons expand to cover their reel and reveal a multiplier between 2x and 100x. Blue Dragons breathe fire in one direction, turning every symbol in that path into a Wild before turning Wild themselves, so a single visit can turn a dead spin into a screen packed with win lines.

Green and Gold Dragons appear only in free spins and both interact with existing Wilds. Green adds a 2x to 100x value to every Wild or Wild reel on the grid, while Gold fires up to five shots that each double a Wild multiplier, sometimes hitting the same target more than once. Free spins arrive from 3, 4 or 5 Scatters for 10, 12 or 14 spins, and all Wilds stay sticky for the round.

Fireborn RTP, Volatility, And Max Win

Fireborn runs on a default RTP of 96.18%, nudged up to 96.3% when the bonus is bought, though some versions use lower profiles at 94.31%, 92.24% or even 88.30%. Volatility sits in that mid to high bracket, with a hit rate around 42%, so you see wins fairly often but the meaningful ones are spaced out. The headline number is a 15,000x max win, usually tied to stacked multipliers in a strong free spins run.

Fireborn: Slot Verdict

From my sessions, Fireborn behaves like a slow burner that suddenly erupts. The base game can feel flat when the reels go on a stretch without dragons, and even an occasional Red reel might whiff if it lands in isolation. Then you hit that spin where a Blue sweeps a row into Wilds alongside a chunky Red reel, and the balance jolts back to life in one hit.

Free spins change the mood completely, as sticky Wilds plus Green and Gold modifiers start to stack multipliers towards eye catching totals. It is not the most complex slot I have played, but it does a decent job of blending simple line wins with punchy features and a serious max win. If you enjoy swingy, dragon themed slots with strong visual polish, Fireborn earns a spot in the rotation.
