“Straightforward mechanics and innovative features” complement each other in Pragmatic Play’s new Fire Strike 2 title, which is the sequel to the popular 2019 release, Fire Strike. Fruit and fire fans are sure to appreciate the second slot, as it brings back nearly all of the elements from the original while adding free spins and a new sticky symbol feature.
In addition to new features, players will also appreciate a super-vivid graphics story and a bumpin’ techno soundtrack that amps you up even more, along with easy-to-understand mechanics.
Reminiscent of Quick Hit and Hot Shot games that are similarly themed, fast-paced mobile and land-based favorites, Fire Strike 2 is a medium volatility video slot with a 96.5 percent RTP that is played on a 5-reel, 3-row game panel with 10 fixed paylines.
Symbols & Paytable:
Wins are awarded by landing three to five of the same symbols on adjacent reels starting from the far left side. Here, the game’s symbols in ascending value include dice, playing cards, chips, stacks of cash, bells, single, double and triple bars, and blue, pink and red 7s, which are worth 5 to 100 times the stake for five-of-a-kind win lines. Additionally, combinations of any of the 7 symbols, pay 5x the bet for five-of-a-kind, while Firestrike Wilds appear on all reels to substitute for any pay symbol and pay 200x the bet for landing five across a payline.
Fire Strike Features:
Like its predecessor, the object here is to land as many Fire Strike of Fire Strike Wild symbols as possible, so as to collect an instant money bonus. However, Pragmatic has added free spins, which can be triggered where those Fire Strike symbols can turn sticky.
In the base game, landing at least six of either Fire Strike or Wild variant symbols will activate the Bonus and award players with instant money prizes, as mentioned, while landing additional symbols will result in some sweet multiplier values being added.
Players can win payouts of 1x, 2x, 8x, 25x, 50x, 150x, 500x, 1,000x, 2,500x, or 5,000x when 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 of the Fire Strike or Fire Strike Wilds symbols are in view. What’s more, if the screen is covered in exactly 15 Fire Strike Wilds, players win the jackpot value of 25,000x the bet.
Diamond Scatter & Free Spins:
Diamonds serve as the game’s scatter and can only land on reels 1, 3 and 5. Landing all three simultaneously activates the Free Spins feature, which sees players awarded 12 free spins and an instant win worth 2x their bet.
Much like the base game, if a player lands at least five Fire Strike symbols in the bonus round, multipliers and instant cash prizes ae triggered, and 12 more free spins can be added by hitting three scatters in the bonus round. So there are a lot of exciting ways to win here!
Future Staple:
Commenting on the new title via company news, Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, credits Fire Strike 2’s “impressive win potential and lucrative jackpots” to the new title set to become “a real staple” of their slots portfolio.
“The straightforward mechanics and innovative features complement each other neatly to provide players with seemingly endless outcomes, and we look forward to adding enhancements in line with their feedback.”
