Slot game
Fireball
Fireball is a real Bally Technologies cabinet, not an online-only game. Land three or more Fireball scatters and the machine shouts FIREBALL while a row of flames climbs the main screen, pointing you up to the top box -- where a launched fireball hits one of eight linked mini-game jackpots. It's still turning up on casino floors today, most recently tagged at MotorCity Casino in Detroit.
Bally FireballFireball (Bally Technologies)
Fact sheet
- Manufacturer: Bally Technologies (now part of Light & Wonder; the physical cabinets and dealer listings are branded 'Bally,' not 'Light & Wonder')
- Release: unknown
- Cabinet: Bally S9000 upright cabinet: over 8 feet tall, 22 inches wide, 23 inches deep, approximately 250 lbs, multi-denomination with a bill validator accepting $1 through $100 notes, and a top box/tower screen used for the bonus round.
- RTP: unknown
- Mechanic: standard
Known quirks
- The bonus round is a tower/top-screen 'games-in-game' feature: landing 3 or more Fireball scatter symbols on the base reels triggers it, and per gamblingdom.com, 'the machine then shouts FIREBALL and a row of flames ascends the main screen, urging you to look at the top screen,' where a fireball is launched out to hit one of eight separate mini three-reel games tied to their own linked jackpots -- named on-page as 'Blazing Sevens, Blazing Sevens Double Jackpot, Blazing Sevens Triple Jackpot, Blazing Sevens 7x Play, Diamond Line, Fireball Frenzy, Triple Bonus Frenzy, and Bonus Frenzy.'
- A second, independently-fetched review corroborates the same core mechanic and closing sequence: 'Once each of the 3 reels have spun and your prizes have been awarded, fire will cascade down the tower and back into the main game, signifying that your bonus round is over,' and lists the eight mini-games as 'Blazing 7s, Bonus Frenzy, Diamond Line, Double 7s, Triple Bonus Frenzy, Triple 7s, Fireball Frenzy, Blazing 7s: Seven Times Pay.'
- This is a confirmed real, currently-tracked land-based cabinet, not an online-only game: URComped's physical-cabinet locator lists it under manufacturer 'Bally Technologies' and shows it has been tagged by community members 107 times, most recently at MotorCity Casino (Detroit).
