How to play Fire & Steel

Stand at the crossroads where sword and shield meet, and watch for the moment their beams carve through the same spot on the grid. That crossing point locks into a wild for 10 free spins, and every line it touches pays both left-to-right and right-to-left. Fire & Steel is a medium volatility, fixed-line slot from Betsoft. It features a 5x3 grid where wins pay both left-to-right and right-to-left. Here is how you play.

Pick a stake and spin the 5x3 grid.
Watch for matching symbols to land on adjacent reels along any of the 20 paylines, starting from either the leftmost or rightmost reel.
Look for the Swordsman to appear on the lower rows, casting a horizontal beam that turns symbols into wilds.
The Shield Maiden, appearing on the upper rows, casts a vertical beam that also converts symbols into wilds.
If the Swordsman and Shield Maiden beams cross on the same symbol, that symbol becomes a Locked Wild for 10 free spins.
During free spins, the Locked Wild remains in place, and additional beam intersections can re-trigger more free spins.
