Playing 9 Masks of Fire well starts with the original game’s 5×3 layout and 20 paylines. Regular combinations run left to right from reel one across adjacent reels, your total stake is split across the active lines, and only the highest combination on a single line is paid. Read that first, before you look at Masks or Free Spins.

Start with your stake and the 20 paylines#
Check the total stake shown in your session first. The rule set uses 20 active paylines, so the line bet is your total bet divided by 20. A line win needs adjacent matching symbols from the leftmost reel, and if more than one sequence fits the same line, the highest one is paid.
| Step | What to look for | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Total stake | Divided by 20 active paylines |
| 2 | Leftmost reel | Ordinary winning lines begin on reel one |
| 3 | Adjacent matching symbols | The combination must continue across adjoining reels |
| 4 | More than one combination | The highest combination on that line applies |
| 5 | Special symbols | Masks and Free Spin symbols follow their own rules |
The table describes the game rules; each spin outcome is random.
Read Mask wins on its own from line wins#
Three or more of them pay from anywhere on the reels instead of starting on the leftmost one, the award is calculated from your total bet, and the highest Mask count is the one that counts. In the original configuration, three Masks award 1× total bet and the scale climbs to 2,000× total bet for nine.
Mask wins are added to ordinary line wins and Free Spin symbol payouts where the rules give them. The Wild cannot stand in for either the Mask or the Free Spin symbol, so keep those two apart as you read the reels. Features has the full award range and explains why Mask wins sit outside the Free Spins multiplier.
Spot the Free Spins trigger#
The feature begins when three Free Spin symbols land on reels two, three and four. A wheel segment picks the number of Free Spins and the multiplier, and the stake stays at the bet from the triggering spin.
If three Free Spin symbols land again on reels two, three and four during the feature, you get a retrigger: it adds the same number of spins first awarded and keeps the multiplier you were given. The multiplier applies to line wins and Free Spin symbol wins in the documented help, while Mask wins keep their own treatment.
Play on mobile or desktop#

Some settings depend on location. Autoplay, where it is offered, simply repeats spins; stopping it does not change a result the game has already determined. Set your own time and spending boundary before you start.

Keep expectations in proportion#
Rules tell you how a win is evaluated, not which outcome comes next. The documented 96.24% RTP applies to a named public configuration over a theoretical long run, and a different 92.01% operator variant shows why a figure should never be carried between builds. Set a limit before you open the game and play with money you can spare.
