January 14, 2026 – Springbok Casino is welcoming the new year with a bold burst of energy, announcing the release of Blazing Horse, a vibrant video slot inspired by the legendary Fire Horse of Chinese New Year. Rich with festive flair and high-intensity gameplay, the new title invites players to chase fortune through fiery symbols, cinematic feature moments, and jackpot potential.
Designed for players who enjoy bigger swings and feature-driven excitement, Blazing Horse runs on a dynamic 5x3 reel setup with a 20-payline structure and a high volatility profile. Wins are paid from left to right, keeping the experience familiar and easy to follow while the game's modern mechanics turn ordinary spins into high-impact moments.
At the heart of the base game is the powerful Blazing Horse Wild. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except the Scatter and Blazing Orb, and bring momentum with an eye-catching twist: when a Wild lands, it expands to cover the entire reel before wins are awarded. Wilds also expand each time they form part of a winning line, creating satisfying sequences where one strong spin can quickly turn into something more.
The celebration reaches its peak in the Free Games feature, triggered when 3 or more Fire Drum Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the gameboard. Players can unlock 6 Free Games with 3 Scatters, 8 with 4, or 10 with 5. During Free Games, the action becomes more cinematic as reels 2–4 transform into a giant 3x3 super symbol board, boosting the potential for striking combinations and memorable wins. Random Prize Multipliers can enhance winning spins, and an oversized Scatter can award 6 additional Free Games, extending the feature and keeping momentum alive.
For players who love collect-style bonus action, Blazing Horse also features a dramatic Hold & Spin mode driven by Blazing Orb symbols. In the base game, the feature triggers when 6 or more Blazing Orbs land anywhere on the gameboard. During Free Games, an oversized Blazing Orb can also activate the feature, adding another layer of surprise. Once triggered, players receive 3 Re-Spins and the gameboard shifts into 15 independent reels. Triggering Orbs lock in place and each newly landed Orb resets the Re-Spins back to 3, building tension as the board fills.
Jackpots are exclusively available within the Hold & Spin feature, with four levels on offer: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand. The ultimate moment comes when players fill all positions on the gameboard with Blazing Orb symbols, awarding the Grand Jackpot. With a top award of up to 50,000x the bet per line, Blazing Horse is built for players who enjoy chasing standout results and big feature moments.
"Blazing Horse captures that perfect Chinese New Year feeling—bold, colourful, and full of momentum," said Daniel van Wyk, Casino Manager at Springbok Casino. "From the expanding Wild reels to the dramatic Free Games transformation and the jackpot-driven Hold & Spin feature, this game delivers a lively experience that feels powerful from the very first spin."
Blazing Horse is available now at Springbok Casino on Download, Instant Play, and Mobile, giving players the flexibility to enjoy the action wherever they choose to play.
As always, Springbok Casino encourages players to enjoy its games responsibly and to treat online gaming as a form of entertainment.
