How 12 Masks of Fire Drums works
Gameburger Studios' own screenshot shows classic fruit-machine symbols, sevens in single, double and triple versions, cherries, a bell, a dollar sign and a BAR, next to three special ones: a gold mask, a drum marked BONUS and a diamond marked WILD.
Masks are scatters that pay up the Epic Strike tower on the left, drums start the free spins and raise their multiplier, and wilds fill a pot of diamonds.
Gameburger's screenshot and Games Global's promotional video both show a 2.00 bet in credits, not rand.
What the masks pay on the Epic Strike tower
Three or more mask scatters pay a prize set by their number, "ranging from 1x up to 3,000x the total bet" in Games Global's launch post. The prizes are the tower in Gameburger's screenshot; the multiples are our division, and the rand column our arithmetic, assuming every rung scales with the bet.
| Masks | Prize on a 2.00 bet | Times the bet | On a R5 spin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 2.00 | 1x | R5 |
| 4 | 4.00 | 2x | R10 |
| 5 | 10.00 | 5x | R25 |
| 6 | 30.00 | 15x | R75 |
| 7 | 50.00 | 25x | R125 |
| 8 | 100.00 | 50x | R250 |
| 9 | 200.00 | 100x | R500 |
| 10 | 500.00 | 250x | R1,250 |
| 11 | 2,000.00 | 1,000x | R5,000 |
| 12 | 6,000.00 | 3,000x | R15,000 |
Epic Strike, the collect pot and the tower bonus 🎁
In Games Global's video the tower lights rung by rung as masks land, until one spin with twelve masks lights 6,000.00. The video is edited to show the features off: it shows how they look, not how often they come.
The collect pot is the new part. In the video, when a wild lands, a diamond flies from it into a bowl of diamonds at the foot of the tower, and the launch post says the potted wilds "randomly trigger Epic Strike" or send you "right into free spins".
When the pot triggers in the video, the Epic Strike Tower Bonus opens: rungs from 10.00 to 6,000.00 under three drums marked BONUS, and a light that runs over them and stops on 6,000.00. Gameburger's quote in the post names "a Tower Bonus for a chance to win up to 3,000x their stake and a shortcut into the Fire Drums Free Spins Bonus". Neither company gives the chances of any rung.
The Fire Drums free spins: a ladder you climb with drums 🎁
Three drums in the base game award three free spins. In the video the bonus opens on a board reading You have 3 free spins, Collect 5 drums to upgrade, over a current prize of 8.00, four times the 2.00 bet by our division.
In the video each drum that lands counts the Collect number down; at zero it shows Cash prize upgrade, and the prize climbs a ladder: 8.00, 10.00, 30.00, 50.00, 100.00, 200.00, 500.00, 2,000.00 and 6,000.00. Games Global's post says there are up to eight bonus levels, each expanding the reels by one row and resetting the spins to three; Gameburger's page gives the reels as 5x3 to 5x10.
Free spins can be retriggered, Gameburger's page says. The video cuts to the last step, from 2,000.00 to 6,000.00, on reels ten rows deep by our count: the counters read Collect 26 and Spins 0, and a symbol marked +1 then adds a spin. The prize is paid at the end, by the level reached.
Rising Rewards: a multiplier built before the bonus 🎁
A padlock badge at the top right of the base game shows a multiplier, 1X in Gameburger's screenshot. Each time two drums land on reels 2 and 3, Games Global's post says, it rises by 1x, up to 10x; the video shows +1X and the badge going from 2X to 3X. The free spins use the value reached when they start.
What it multiplies is worded two ways: "all line wins" on Gameburger's page and Multiply line wins in free spins in the video, but "all wins during the round" in Games Global's post. In the clip, line wins of 8.40 under a 3X badge become 25.20 (8.40 x 3, our check), and elsewhere the last level's 6,000.00 is paid as 6,000.00 under 2X; the video is edited, so the game's help settles whether the ladder prize is multiplied.
After the round, the post says, it resets "up to 4x"; in the video a Free Multiplier Boost takes the badge from 1X to 2X under the caption Random multiplier awarded up to 4x. A high badge is no reason to keep spinning: no staking pattern or system beats the house edge.

Who makes 12 Masks of Fire Drums?
Gameburger Studios, which Games Global's launch post calls a Games Global exclusive studio. The post dates the launch 30 July 2024 and calls the game the sequel to Gameburger's 9 Masks of Fire.
How much can twelve masks pay?
Twelve masks reach the top rung of the Epic Strike tower, 3,000x the bet, or R15,000 on a R5 spin by our arithmetic. The tower bonus and the last free-spins level show the same 6,000.00 on a 2.00 bet in the video; neither company gives 3,000x as a maximum for the whole game.
How do you trigger the free spins?
Three drums in the base game award three free spins, and the launch post says diamond wilds collected in the pot can also lead "right into free spins". Inside, drums upgrade a cash prize level by level, each level adds a row to the reels, and the prize is paid at the end.
What RTP does 12 Masks of Fire Drums have?
Gameburger Studios' own game page gives 96.00% and rates the volatility high. By our arithmetic, 96.00% means about R96 back for every R100 staked over a very large number of spins, and one session can land far from that. Read the game's own help at your casino before you stake.
