📖 Detailed Explanation
The xBomb Wild in Fire in the Hole 3 is a special wild symbol that substitutes for any regular symbol except Bonus symbols. When it lands, it explodes, removing adjacent symbols (except Bonus symbols), which triggers a collapse by making symbols fall and new ones drop in, while increasing the win multiplier by its value—typically +1—for the next collapse.
This feature activates in several scenarios: during a winning combination (even if not part of it), or with no win if Wild Mining isn't triggered. All xBomb Wilds explode before the next collapse, except during Wild Mining. The explosion clears space in the Collapsing Mine system, starting with 3 rows and expanding up to 6 per collapse event, boosting win potential up to 70,000x bet.
- Substitutes all symbols except Bonuses.
- Explodes to remove adjacent symbols (no Bonuses), adds +1 (or its value) to win multiplier for next collapse.
