Fire Strike slot review (Pragmatic Play)

Fire Strike reminds us of the Quick Hits slot, thanks to its old-fashioned, Las Vegas-style graphics

If you’re looking for exciting free spins bonus features, expanding wilds or progressive multipliers, you are better off skipping Fire Strike.

This slot has none of that. It is an old-school slot, with lots of sevens, bar symbols and diamonds.

There may not be any free spins, but it does not mean that you cannot win big. On the contrary, you can earn a sky-high jackpot, which can be as much as 25,000 x the total bet.

Gameplay and features of the Fire Strike slot

Fire Strike has 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols and 10 fixed paylines.

You bet with a fixed amount per spin, The minimum bet is $€0.10, and the maximum bet is $€50 per spin.

What are the theoretical RTP, the variance and the maximum win of the Fire Strike Slot?

The theoretical payout percentage, as with almost all Pragmatic Play slots, is 96.50%. It is slightly better than the average payout rate, not spectacular, though.

In terms of variance, Pragmatic Play qualifies the slot as medium variance (3.5 out of 5 lightning symbols), also like most of their slots.

Of course, you can win the incredible jackpot of 25,000 x the total bet, but the chance of bagging it is so small that it has little effect on variance.

If you get wins of say 250x to 500x the total bet, you can start your celebration dance. Wins above 500x the bet are rare. Wins of 1,000x the bet or more are extraordinary.

Symbols and payouts

The Fire Strike Wilds are the most wanted symbols. These replace all regular symbols. Besides, you can get massive wins with these symbols. If you spin 5 of those on an active payline, you get paid 200x the total bet.

The sevens are also lucrative. Five red sevens yield a win of 100x the bet, five purple sevens are good for 50x the stake, and five blue sevens are worth 30x the bet.

If you spin five sevens but non-identical ones, you get a consolation prize of 5 x the bet.

The medium symbols include casino chips, playing cards, diamonds and dollars. If you spin a 5-of-a-kind of these symbols, you get paid between 10 x and 25 x the bet.

The three different BAR symbols (single, double and triple) get you a win between 5 x and 10 x the bet.

Now, you may think that these prizes are very high. They are indeed but bear in mind that there are only 10 paylines in the Fire Strike slot. The chances of getting these winning combinations are therefore smaller.

Fire Strikes: the more you spin, the higher the jackpot!

The Fire Strikes (the normal version or the Wild version) are needed to get the jackpot. These symbols may be scattered, and the more often they appear, the higher the price.

Below you see the payout table of the Fire Strikes:

• 6 Fire Strikes: 1 time your bet
• 7 Fire Strikes: 2 times your bet
• 8 Fire Strikes: 8 times your bet
• 9 Fire Strikes: 25 times your bet
• 10 Fire Strikes: 50 times your bet
• 11 Fire Strikes: 150 times your bet
• 12 Fire Strikes: 500 times your wager.
• 13 Fire Strikes: 1,000 times your wager.
• 14 Fire Strikes: 2,500 times your wager.
• 15 Normal Fire Strikes (full screen): 5,000 times your bet

But wait. There is more!

If you manage to spin 15 Wild Fire Strikes (a full screen), you’ll win the jackpot of a dazzling and surreal 25,000 x your bet.

Our verdict on the Fire Strike slot

Fire Strike is a great slot for those who love old-fashioned slots, where winning massive prizes is more important than all the exaggerated features and time consuming free spins you find nowadays in most modern slots.

If you are an impatient player, this slot also suits you perfectly. Within a fraction of a second, you know what’s up.

The pace is quick, and the look and feel are excellent: you almost feel like you’re in a casino on the Las Vegas strip.

Of course, you won’t win the top prize of 25,000 x the wager so quickly, but you can still make substantial wins.
