Chimney Sweep by Endorphina: active-line trigger and Wild doubling

Chimney Sweep is a five-reel, three-row Endorphina slot with ten paylines. The provider publishes 96.07% RTP, high volatility and a €0.10–€90 stake range. Three or more Fireplace Scatters appearing in succession from left to right on an active line trigger 15 Free Games, where spin wins are tripled.

The official page was checked on 8 October 2026. It supports the supplier rules below, not New Zealand operator availability, NZD stakes or universal Bonus Pop access.

The trigger wording is unusually specific. The Fireplaces must appear consecutively from the leftmost reel toward the right on an active bet line. Three fireplace pictures scattered anywhere are not necessarily enough.

Active-line Scatter sequence

Trace the Fireplace symbols on the live ten-line map. A valid sequence begins on reel one and continues without a gap. Five Scatters are listed at 500 times base bet, while three or more qualifying symbols open the feature.

Save the complete stop grid and highlighted trigger line before the transition. If the feature does not start, check the first-reel position, continuity and whether the line was active under the deployed rules.

Fifteen Free Games

The feature begins with 15 spins, uses the current bet and can retrigger. During it, the spin win is multiplied by three. Track the triggering stake, initial counter, child spins, additional Fireplaces and terminal balance.

Because the feature uses the current bet, changing controls during the animation should not be assumed possible or relevant. The parent round’s total stake is the key monetary reference. Never triple the final feature summary again if the server already applied the modifier.

Chimney-sweep Wild

The girl is Wild and substitutes for every regular symbol except Scatter. If one or more Wilds appear in a winning combination, the line win is doubled. Five Wilds pay 900 times base bet according to the official table.

The wording confirms a doubled win but does not justify assuming repeated doubling for multiple Wilds. Preserve their positions and use the server calculation. A direct five-Wild line may use its own table value rather than another symbol’s substituted value.

Regular paytable leaders

The pig and bird are equal highest-paying regular symbols, each paying 75 times base bet for five on a qualifying line. These are selected combination values, not the game’s maximum-win ceiling.

To convert them into account currency, confirm the base-bet definition and total stake. An animation’s abbreviated amount is secondary to round history and wallet credit.

RTP and volatility

The published 96.07% RTP is a long-run theoretical value for the documented configuration. It is not a refund rate for one session. High volatility indicates uneven outcomes on Endorphina’s scale and should support smaller budgeted exposure, not predictions.

Capture the deployed game ID, version and RTP. If it differs from the supplier page, record both with scope and date. Do not average mathematical versions.

Stake and currency checks

The €0.10–€90 range is supplier metadata. It does not prove NZD limits or access from New Zealand. Operators can set different denominations and jurisdictional caps.

On ten lines, separate total stake from coin or line value. Use the final monetary total shown before the parent spin. The same numerical control can represent different exposure after a denomination change.

Risk Game and Bonus Pop

Endorphina lists a Risk Game and Bonus Pop. A Risk Game is a new exposure of an existing award. Record the original win, amount risked, selection, outcome and closing balance.

Bonus Pop may be unavailable depending on casino and jurisdiction. If visible, capture purchase price, confirmation, feature state and any separate RTP. Do not describe it as universally available.

Mobile and sound-independent use

The game is listed for mobile devices. Check that the active-line trigger, remaining spins, Wild positions, ×3 state and total stake remain clear in portrait view. Rooftop sound effects should not be necessary to understand an outcome.

Rotate the screen in demo before a real-money session and verify that state persists. Demo usability does not prove operator access or local stakes.

Worked trigger audit

Suppose Fireplaces occupy reels one, two and three on a zig-zag active line. Save the line number and positions. If the same symbols sit on reels one, three and four with a gap, do not call it the documented consecutive trigger.

When five Scatters land, separate the 500x paytable entry from feature commencement in the round record. Add each component exactly once and compare the combined result with the credited balance.

Worked multiplier audit

For a Free Game containing one Wild, begin with the ordinary qualifying line value. Record the Wild-based double and then the feature-wide ×3 step as shown by the server. Save the final child award.

If two Wilds participate, ask the live calculation whether the double is applied once or more. The source says one or more Wilds double the win; it does not publish evidence for unlimited stacking.

Common mistakes

The main error is calling any three Fireplaces a trigger. The rule requires succession from the left on an active line. Another is allowing the Wild to replace a Fireplace. A third is applying the ×3 again to an already final feature total.

The 900x five-Wild and 500x five-Scatter entries are not documented title-wide caps. Finally, the euro range and official demo do not establish New Zealand availability.

Evidence pack

Keep UTC time, operator, title, game ID, version, RTP, currency, total stake, balances and parent round. Add the trigger line, Fireplace positions, counters, retriggers, Wild positions, multiplier stages, feature summary and wallet credit.

Retain original screenshots privately. Remove account numbers and personal information from any public copy. Label every child spin for a calculation dispute.

Verifying line activation

The phrase “active bet line” requires special attention. In a fixed-line deployment, all ten routes may remain active automatically. In a configurable version, the player may need to choose a line count. Capture the line setting and total stake together before the triggering spin; one without the other cannot prove the Fireplace path was eligible.

If three consecutive Fireplaces sit on a displayed but inactive route, the visual pattern alone does not establish a trigger. Ask support for the line-status record tied to the parent round. Avoid changing line settings while documenting a disputed sequence, because the next screen may no longer represent the original state.

Multiplier order worksheet

Use separate cells for ordinary line value, Wild substitution double, feature ×3 and settled result. Fill a factor only when its condition applies to that particular line or spin. This format exposes accidental double application and also shows when a base-game Wild receives its double without the feature modifier.

When several lines win on one feature spin, calculate them individually before comparing with the spin total. A Wild may belong to one route but not another, while the feature ×3 applies to the spin wins under the published rule. The server’s detailed calculation remains authoritative when animation and manual arithmetic differ.

Questions for support

Ask whether the Scatter trigger always requires an active payline in the deployed version, how multiple Wilds are treated and in what order the double and ×3 are applied. Request the server’s line-level calculation.

For interrupted Free Games, provide parent round ID, UTC time and last counter. If Bonus Pop is present, ask whether it has separate return settings. For unavailable access, request the territory rule.

Ask support to state the active line number and the reel positions of every Fireplace in its response. For multiplier questions, request the unmodified line award, Wild adjustment, feature adjustment and final currency credit. These fields distinguish a trigger-geometry disagreement from an arithmetic disagreement and keep the case tied to one reproducible round.

Short answers

What triggers Free Games? Three or more Fireplaces in succession from the left on an active line.

How many spins are awarded? Fifteen initially.

Are spin wins multiplied? Yes, by three during the feature.

Can the feature retrigger? Yes.

What does the Wild do? It substitutes for regular symbols and doubles a winning line when used.

Can the Wild replace Scatter? No.

Final assessment

Chimney Sweep looks conventional but has a narrower-than-usual trigger: Fireplace symbols must form a left-anchored active-line sequence. Its Wild double and feature ×3 also require a clearly ordered calculation.

Verify the live RTP and stake, then preserve the trigger path and every multiplier stage. Those records answer the important questions far better than the rooftop animation alone.

How to verify the version you can actually open

A provider page proves that a title exists and describes the supplier's intended rules. It does not prove that a casino accepts players in New Zealand, that the title is enabled for a particular account, or that the highest published RTP is the version in the lobby. Treat availability, operator eligibility and product configuration as three separate checks.

Start with identity, then configuration

Open the game only through the authenticated casino lobby. The information or help panel should identify Endorphina, the exact title and the active mathematical return. Compare the reel or grid layout, paylines or cluster rules, named features and symbol behaviour with the official product material. Similar artwork or a matching title is not enough when the help file is missing or inconsistent.

When the supplier publishes several RTP values, report all of them as configurations. Do not assume the highest option is deployed. RTP is a theoretical long-run measure across a very large number of rounds; it is not a refund rate for one player and cannot predict the next result. Volatility is different: it describes how unevenly results are distributed on the provider's scale.

Read stake controls as money, not interface decoration

Provider sheets often quote a reference range in euros. That range does not establish New Zealand-dollar support or the limits in a specific account. Before a paid round, identify the total amount that will leave the balance. If the interface separates denomination, coins and lines, verify the combined total. If Extra Bet is active, calculate its full cost before pressing spin.

Feature-buy prices are multiples of the current bet, not promised returns. A 100x purchase at a $1 stake costs $100; at a $2 stake it costs $200. Availability can vary by market and some mathematical configurations may not support the control. If the live help does not explain the price, delivered feature and active RTP, leave the option unused.

Keep simulation figures in their proper scope

A game sheet may publish a maximum result observed in a large simulation. That is not automatically the contractual maximum payout and never describes a likely session. Preserve the provider's wording, sample size and configuration. Check the live rules for a binding cap and the operator terms for any separate payout limit. Do not turn an extreme result into a promotional headline.

Audit a disputed round

If an animation freezes or a connection drops, do not repeat the wager immediately. Reopen the game through the authenticated lobby and inspect round history. Record the time, total stake, balance movement and round identifier. The result can be settled by the gaming system even when the device never displays the final animation. Send evidence through verified operator support; never disclose a password, recovery phrase or one-time code.

Read the paytable as a calculation document

The paytable should explain what creates a win, which symbols substitute, where special symbols can land and how multiple awards combine. For line games, confirm direction and active paylines. For cluster games, confirm adjacency, minimum group size and the order of collection. For respins, identify what remains locked, what resets the counter and what ends the feature. A graphic effect can illustrate those rules but cannot replace them.

Separate addition from multiplication. Several prize values may be added before a multiplier applies, while reel-specific multipliers can sometimes multiply together only when each reel participates in the same win. Reconstruct one low-stake result from game history. If the arithmetic cannot be matched to the help file, stop and ask the operator rather than guessing.

Do not confuse hit frequency with a profitable round

Provider sheets can publish hit frequency or category probabilities. A hit simply means a round returned a qualifying amount; it can be smaller than the stake. “Big”, “Mega” or “Epic” thresholds are provider reporting categories, not promises. They are useful for comparing mathematical versions only when definitions and samples are the same.

Random outcomes do not become due after a long gap. A feature that appeared repeatedly in a demo or marketing clip has no obligation to repeat in a funded session. Previous rounds do not create a debt from the next random result.

Confirm market and device behaviour independently

A title can exist in the supplier catalogue while an operator disables it for a territory, currency, device or bonus. Language localisation is not evidence of legal availability. Confirm the operator's identity, accepted countries and current lobby separately from the provider review.

On mobile, verify that balance, total bet, feature state and help remain visible without overlap. On desktop, check that browser zoom does not hide a purchase control or change the apparent denomination. Mathematical configuration should not change merely because the screen changes; if the help shows another RTP, treat it as a different deployment and record it.

Keep a compact evidence record

For any fact used in a review, save the title, provider, official URL, document date when available, access date and exact territorial scope. For a live session, add the operator domain, Game ID, RTP, currency and a non-sensitive screenshot of the help panel. This makes later corrections possible when a supplier updates a sheet or an operator changes configuration.

Missing information should remain missing. Do not estimate an RTP from results, convert a euro reference range into an operator's NZD limit, or treat another casino's configuration as evidence. A transparent “not confirmed” is more useful than a precise-looking number without the correct source.

Use limits that survive the feature design

Collection meters, expanding grids, sticky symbols and near misses can make a session feel unfinished. Unless the rules explicitly preserve progress, the visible state has no value after the round or feature ends. Set a money limit and time limit before launch, count feature buys immediately, and stop at the limit even when a meter appears close to an upgrade.

No random game is an income plan. Do not borrow, use essential funds or raise the stake to recover a loss. If play stops feeling recreational, use timeout, deposit-limit or self-exclusion tools and consult the site's responsible gambling guide.
