TOURNAMENTSFakir Dice Slot is a dice-themed slot from the Liège studio Gaming1, with five reels, 243 ways to win and an Indian setting in which a fakir and his assistant watch over the playing field. In the base game everything is settled on the spin, as with any of the online slots in Belgium that use dice.
What sets it apart comes afterwards, when pucks drop onto a pin board, the same principle as casino Plinko. That is where the free spins, the wilds that move across the reels and the game's progressive prize pot are decided. Each stage is set out below, figures included.</p>
The playing field has five reels of three positions each. There are no fixed paylines: a combination forms when the same symbol lands on the first reel and then on the following reels without a break, in any position on the reel. Three positions across five reels give 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 243 possible combinations.
At Casino King the game shows a return to player of 96% and medium-to-low volatility. The lowest stake is €0.10, and the top win outside the prize pot is 525 times the stake. That profile points to fairly regular wins that are rarely spectacular, as long as the pin board stays out of it.
The catalogue has a second title with the same character, Fire Fakir Dice. Despite the similar name, it is not a variant of the same game but a separate one, with its own rules and its own paytable.
If you are after the pin board and the pot starting at 100 times the stake described further down, this is the title to open. Both sit in the grid of Gaming1 games, alongside the studio's other dice slots.
The playing field mixes coloured dice, which are the most frequent and lowest-paying symbols, with characters from the setting: the assistant and the fakir himself, who pay the most. The win for each symbol is listed in the game's paytable.
The lotus flower is the wild. It stands in for the ordinary symbols to complete a combination, but never for the bonus symbol. That one carries small pucks, and it is these, rather than a line on the screen, that open the next part of the round.
Three bonus symbols on the playing field start the mini-game. The pucks they carry are added together, and that total sets the number of drops onto the board. The more pucks, the more chances of reaching the right pockets.
Each puck is released at the top of a board studded with pins and bounces down to a pocket at the bottom. Depending on where it lands, it awards an instant win, a multiplier, free spins or walking wilds for what follows. The path is random: nothing the player does steers the fall.
That system gives the game its particular rhythm. A session can stay quiet through long runs of spins, then be decided in a handful of bounces.
The free spins won on the pin board are all about the walking wilds: during those spins, up to two entire reels can turn wild on each spin.
With 243 ways to win, a reel covered in lotus flowers links every combination that passes through it in one go. Two wild reels out of five therefore change the value of a spin considerably, all the more so if a multiplier from the board is added.
The game has its own progressive prize pot. It starts at 100 times the stake and then grows as rounds are played. To win it, pucks have to land in the pocket marked with a star three times during the mini-game.
That condition explains why the jackpot is rare: the mini-game has to be triggered first, then several pucks have to finish in the same place. Every drop on the board remains down to chance, and none makes the next one more likely.
Of the stated 96% return to player, 2 points are reserved for the prize pot. In other words, wins from the base game and the mini-game return around 94% of stakes over the long run, and the remaining 2% feed the prize pot, which goes only to the player who lands it.
That split explains how the game feels: regular but modest wins in everyday play, with part of the return put aside for a single large payout. The medium-to-low volatility applies to ordinary play; the jackpot remains a rare event by nature.
The stake you choose also sets the scale of everything else, since the pot and the top win are calculated as multiples of the stake. At €0.10, the pot starts at €10 and the top win outside the pot is capped at €52.50. At €1, those two markers become €100 and €525. A €20 budget is the equivalent of 200 spins at €0.10, or 20 spins at €1.
For a first session, then, a low stake leaves time to see the pin board a few times before judging the game. On one point Fakir is a slot like any other: it pays according to the luck of the draw, never according to how long the session has lasted or how many spins have already been played.
The game runs on computer and phone alike, straight from the browser, without any download. Demo mode lets you play a few rounds without staking, to see how the pucks fall; winnings there are not real.
Nothing changes for winnings compared with the other games: Casino King is the online casino with instant payout that sends commission-free withdrawals of €50 or more to your bank account at any hour. Only the very first withdrawal waits for a one-off check of that account.

That cap only counts wins from the base game and the mini-game. The progressive prize pot comes on top of it separately, with a value that depends on when it drops.
