Exploring the world of bonus slots
For those who like their social casino slot games with a side of juicy extras, bonus slots could quickly become your new BFF. Like mini-games within the game, bonus slots go beyond the standard free spins, scatters and wild symbols that you tend to find in most social slot games, and instead feature immersive bonus rounds that can feel like entire games on their own. With each bonus round, players can dive into a variety of mini-games that extend playtime, add new layers of fun, and offer the chance to win even more prizes.
So, if you’re looking to spice up your social casino slots experience, there’s a whole world of bonus rounds and features waiting to be explored. You just need to know where to find them. Hint hint: we’ve got some absolute gems for you at Chumba Casino!
What are bonus slot games and bonus features?
Most online slots feature some sort of bonus, whether that’s free spins, scatter symbols or wild symbols. They’ll usually have some sort of bonus game or feature thrown in to make the game a little more interesting, and to give players another chance to win additional prizes.
Bonus slot games go beyond the standard features, offering rounds of free spins and interactive mini-games that elevate the player experience with enhanced gameplay and additional rewards.
These features are there to take the game in a completely different direction. You could be spinning Wild West slots one minute, then fighting off enemies, spinning prize wheels or playing board games the next. These bonus rounds are designed to keep slot players on their toes with more interaction, excitement, bigger prizes and even more winning combinations.
How do bonus slots games work?
Bonus games are usually triggered by a combination of symbols, typically the wild, scatter or dedicated symbols — a game may require 3, 4, or 5 symbols or an active payline to trigger the bonus feature. Other bonus games have different mechanics, like collecting a number of items over the course of multiple spins.
Once the bonus feature is triggered, players are either awarded a free spin or taken to another screen where they’ll get to play out a different game scenario that could also reward more bonus spins or additional prizes.

What types of slots bonus features are there?
There are a few different types of bonus features that range from simple free spins right up to interactive plot-based mini-games, where players play out another game within the slot game.
Here are the main bonus features to look out for at Chumba Casino:
Free Spins
The majority slot games tend to offer free bonus spins — they’re the most common bonus feature you’ll find on Chumba Casino’s social slot games, and indeed any other social casino. So, even if there aren’t any fancy bonus features within the game, at the very least players are usually rewarded with free spins to give that added excitement factor, and the chance to win more prizes.
These ‘free spins’ bonus rounds are your golden ticket to spin the reels without using any of your existing Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins, turning every spin a chance to scoop up additional prizes.
To kick off the fun, just land those special symbols like scatters or bonus icons — they’re your keys to unlocking the free spins feature. Once activated, you’ll be treated to a bonus round where every spin could bring you more than just excitement.
During free spins, some games amp up with multipliers that turbocharge your winnings. Others introduce wild symbols, wild modifiers (these could be anything from random wilds, expanded wilds, walking wilds, wild multipliers and sticky wilds), play multipliers, progressive jackpots, or unique reels that are all about maximizing your shot at hitting the jackpot.
And here’s the cherry on top — free spins can even retrigger! If luck strikes twice and you land those symbols again during the bonus round, you’ll get another round of free spins to keep that excitement factor at an all-time high.
Community Jackpots
Unlike traditional jackpots that reward a single lucky player, community jackpots bring everyone together with the shared goal of a collective win. This jackpot can be triggered randomly or by meeting specific criteria, instantly rewarding all eligible players with a portion of the pooled prize. Excitement builds with every spin and every played spin contributes to a growing prize pool.
Whether you're spinning for fun or aiming for the big win, community jackpots add an extra layer of anticipation and warm and fuzzy sense of unity to your social slots experience. Every spin counts not just for you, but for everyone involved, making each game a shared adventure with the potential for thrilling rewards.

Fireshot Fun
Ever heard of the Fireshot Jackpot? It's like a fiery bonus round waiting for the chance to ignite your wins at Chumba Casino! This blazing bonus round is typically triggered when you land 6 or more symbols, setting you up with 3 Free Spins to fuel the excitement. But here’s the real sizzle: every time a new symbol shows up, your spins reset back to 3, keeping the fire burning.
These special symbols aren't just eye candy; they're packed with special prizes and jackpots for extra thrills. The Fireshot feature keeps rolling until you run out of spins or your reels are fully loaded with symbols. If you manage to cover the screen with Fireshot symbols, that's when you hit the grand jackpot — talk about a hot streak!
The "Fireshot Diamond" feature kicks it up a notch with even juicier prizes and double the excitement. You can trigger the bonus game by landing either Fireshot Coins or Fireshot Diamonds. While both symbols can set off the bonus, Fireshot Diamonds often bring bigger and flashier prizes, ramping up the excitement even more. Ready to turn up the heat and chase those big wins? We thought so…
Turn up the heat with Fireshot Inferno! This sizzling jackpot-fueled fiesta kicks off with the classic Hold and Spin feature when you land 6 or more coins — if you’re playing Stallion Grand or Dancing Gold you’ll need 8 or more coins to set this fire ablaze. But here’s the sizzle: special enhancers can upgrade your coin values or collect them all at once, offering a blazing chance to boost your wins.

Hold & Spin Feature
Get ready for a juicy twist in your gameplay with this exciting spin-off. It kicks in when either 6 or more special symbols land on 3 or more Scatters during your social slots adventure. Picture those special symbols locking onto the reels, while the others spin again, giving you even more shots at winning prizes.
These locked symbols can unveil some seriously impressive rewards — think juicy prizes, jackpots, or other cool surprises. You'll start with a set number of spins, and each time you land another qualifying symbol, it resets the spin count, keeping the thrill of the Hold & Spin feature alive! The excitement keeps buzzing until you've used all your spins or filled the reels with these special symbols.
Fire Blaze Feature
Ready to set the reels ablaze? The Fire Blaze feature adds a scorching twist to your gameplay! Land 6 or more special symbols to trigger a bonus round packed with exciting surprises. Locked symbols are crucial, but don’t miss the special enhancers that can upgrade your coins or let you grab all visible prizes on the reels. The excitement doesn’t end there — chase four progressive jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand. Fill the entire grid with special symbols to seize the Grand Jackpot and watch your winnings ignite in a blaze of glory.

Progressive Jackpots
Progressive jackpots are the crown jewels of social casino slots, offering an electrifying quest for the ultimate win. With each spin, these jackpots grow larger, fueled by contributions from every player. Unlike standard slot games where the prize remains fixed, progressive jackpots pool contributions from players, growing bigger with every spin. It's a team effort that keeps building up the jackpot until one lucky player hits the winning combination.
What makes them truly captivating is their potential to deliver jaw-dropping prizes that can turn any ordinary day into a celebration. It’s the collective thrill of chasing after that elusive jackpot, knowing that at any moment, the reels could align to unlock massive rewards. Players eagerly anticipate the chance to be the next lucky winner to strike it big and join the ranks of jackpot champions.
