Fire Strike (Pragmatic Play): Overview
Two teaspoons of lounge music, a few drops of
glitz and glamour and, finally, a bag🌛 of lucky sevens sprinkled on top of it all.
Pragmatic's Fire Strike slot may bear all the hallmarks of a🌛 fruit machine, but even
so, there are some elements that set it apart from many other slots in the category.
🌛 With a 5x3, 10-payline reel matrix, it's more of a hybrid, and with the extended format
comes the opportunity to🌛 incorporate significantly higher win potential than what you
may be used to.
Playable from 0.10 to €/$50 per spin across all🌛 devices, Fire Strike is
a stripped-down medium variance slot with rhythmic and fast-paced gameplay. There are
no free spins to🌛 hunt for here. Instead, the objective is to land as many Firestrike
symbols as possible on the reels in a🌛 single spin, something that can lead to a
potentially life-changing experience.
Fire Strike is not the most visually
sophisticated slot we've🌛 ever laid our eyes on, but there's plenty of appeal to its
devilish looks nonetheless. Dominated by intense deep red🌛 colours, you're sent off to
the depths of hell where lava lakes, flaming fires, and chillaxing lounge music await.
The🌛 animated flames that you'll see flanking the reels are undoubtedly eye-catching,
but wait until you land a big win -🌛 that's when things really heat up.
Spinning on the
reels you'll see as many as 12 different regular symbols. These include🌛 triple lucky
sevens, single, double, and triple bars, dice, playing cards, casino tokens, bankrolls,
and green diamonds. The three top🌛 paying symbols are represented by blue, purple, and
red lucky sevens - 5 of a kind of these will give🌛 you 30, 50, or 100 times your stake
respectively. The Firestrike symbol with the word "wild" written across it is,🌛 of
course, the wild. It substitutes for all other symbols, appears stacked on all reels
and yields 200 times your🌛 stake for 5 across a full payline.
Fire Strike (Pragmatic
Play): Features
Inspired by classic fruit machines, there's not a whole lot🌛 to report
in terms of features. It's all about the Firestrike Bonus here which basically comes
down to landing as🌛 many Firestrike symbols as possible in a single spin. If you hit 6
or more of these anywhere on the🌛 reels (they don't need to connect on a payline),
you'll win an instant cash prize accordingly:
6 of a kind awards🌛 1 times your stake .
.
7 of a kind awards 2 times your stake .
. 8 of a kind awards🌛 8 times your stake .
. 9
of a kind awards 25 times your stake .
. 10 of a kind awards🌛 50 times your stake .
. 11
of a kind awards 150 times your stake .
. 12 of a kind awards🌛 500 times your stake .
.
13 of a kind awards 1,000 times your stake .
. 14 of a kind awards🌛 2,500 times your
stake .
. 15 of a kind (full screen) triggers the 25,000 times your stake Grand
Jackpot.
Fire Strike🌛 (Pragmatic Play): Verdict
As you've seen, Fire Strike is
straightforward and quite similar to many other fruit slots we've seen in🌛 the past.
What sets it apart is the extended reel format and massive potential, although you have
to remind yourself🌛 that you're extremely unlikely to land that 25,000x jackpot. And
speaking of potential, Pragmatic Play undoubtedly has a lot to🌛 prove when it comes to
advertised max payout. In the past, the studio has been boasting ridiculously high
potential in🌛 games such as Da Vinci's Treasure (48,000x), and Extra Juicy (60,000x),
but appears to have been smoke and mirrors as🌛 we're yet to see even 1/3 of that stated
potential surface anywhere.
Medium variance, Fire Strike will not bludgeon your balance
🌛 as quickly as some of Pragmatic's other offerings and we even managed come out on top
during our two hour🌛 test round in which we hit a 500x win. That's the level we advice
you to put your expectations, although🌛 there is, of course, a chance to land
significantly larger wins than that. Overall, Fire Strike is a decent fruit🌛 slot with a
modern twist, but not one we're likely to revisit should we get burnt.
