Fire Symbol (Outer Ring)
The Fire ring forms the high-risk path of Vortex. A Fire symbol fills one segment in the red outer ring and drives the biggest payout jumps. Multipliers rise in a steep order: x3.9, x12.5, x28, x52, x85, x133, and x200. Each segment raises tension, since Fire symbols appear less often due to their high payout nature. Completing all Fire segments activates the bonus trigger, sending the player into the Bonus Game for an extra reward. Once the bonus pays out, the ring resets to its starting point and the cycle starts from zero again. Fire progress always carries the highest volatility, which is why players see slower but more impactful growth across this ring.
