Crown of Fire Slot Review 2025 – RTP, Demo, Betting Guide

Established in 2015, Pragmatic Play puts out games that are both reliable and genuinely entertaining, like the very familiar Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus. The best part for SA players? All their games run smoothly on mobile, even on mobile data with our dodgy network coverage.

It’s a classic fruit machine, and that’s sort of all there is to it, honestly. The "story" is the high-stakes grind – no distractions, just pure action (and waiting for it).

This game is set on a classic 5-reel, 3-row grid, but the catch is the 10 fixed paylines. For a high-volatility slot, this is risky and virtually guarantees dry spells between payouts. The strict line wins mean that symbols must line up perfectly, paying left-to-right from the first reel. 

The RTP is a generous 96.36% when you play at casinos like Hollywoodbets. That's a great theoretical return, but you must check the game's info screen at your chosen casino, because there are variations with lower RTPs floating around. The high volatility makes it suitable for patient players prepared to wait out the dry spells.

Betting Range crown of fire

I can’t imagine a budget this game wouldn’t suit, with minimum bets from as low as 10c per spin, all the way up to a max of R30,000 per spin. This makes the game accessible, allowing you full rein over your stake strategy, depending on your budget for each session.

The top potential payout here is 1,000x your total bet. My biggest wins have come from the Expanding Crown Wilds lining up with the high-paying Lucky 7s. Ultimately, a full screen of 7s is the goal here

While Crown of Fire doesn't feature a traditional progressive jackpot, it delivers through fixed prizes, like the 1,000x max win, paid out by landing five Fiery Burst Scatters. Then, regardless of paylines, the Fiery Burst Scatter and the Special Scatter pay fixed cash amounts.

• Crown Wild: Appears on Reels 2, 3, and 4. When it lands, it instantly expands to cover the entire reel, substituting for all regular symbols to complete 10-line wins.
• Fiery Burst Scatter: This one pays a cash prize when 3, 4, or 5 land anywhere on the grid. 5 of them award the highest non-payline prize in the game.
• Special Scatter: This Scatter is a bit trickier, appearing only on Reels 1, 3, and 5. Landing all three awards is a fixed cash prize for a decent bankroll boost.

Special Symbols crown of fire

Expanding Crown Wild land on any of the middle reels (2, 3, or 4) and immediately expands vertically to fill the entire reel. If you've got premium symbols on Reel 1, this is where the big hits come from.
