Fire Strike

Fire Strike is Pragmatic Play's 2019 sevens-and-bars slot, the original rather than its Fire Strike 2 sequel. It runs on 5x3 reels with 10 lines and no free spins; its one feature is a ladder of instant cash prizes for six or more FIRESTRIKE symbols anywhere, topped by a 25,000x jackpot for a screen of 15 wilds. Our test covers 100 spins of the Fire Strike slot demo at $1.

What is the Fire Strike slot about?

The reels sit in a gold-rimmed red cabinet with flames licking up both sides. Above them a two-sided board lists every FIRESTRIKE prize in cash at your bet, with the 15x FIRE STRIKE WILD JACKPOT in the middle. A small PRAGMATIC PLAY mark sits bottom left, and there is no buy or ante button anywhere.

Wins pay left to right on 10 lines, and each line pays only its best win. At a $1 bet five red sevens pay $100, purple sevens $50 and blue sevens $30. The green gem pays $25, cash $20, chips $15, cards $12.50, and dice and triple BARs $10. Double BARs, single BARs and any mix of sevens pay $5 for five and $0.50 for three.

Two symbols carry the flame logo. The FIRE STRIKE WILD, marked WILD, substitutes for all symbols on every reel and pays $200 for five on a line, $50 for four and $25 for three. The plain FIRESTRIKE symbol has no line pay; it exists for the prize ladder below, and the wild counts toward that ladder too.

Spin 1 of 100 at $1: two lines through the wilds paid $3.00, with every FIRESTRIKE prize shown in cash above the reels. FluxPlays demo test, 18 October 2026.

Fire Strike bonus features

The FIRESTRIKE prize ladder

Six or more FIRESTRIKE or FIRE STRIKE WILD symbols anywhere on screen pay an instant prize, with no line needed. The prize grows with the count: 6 pay 1x the total bet, 7 pay 2x, 8 pay 8x, 9 pay 25x and 10 pay 50x. From there it climbs to 150x for 11, 500x for 12, 1,000x for 13, 2,500x for 14 and 5,000x for any 15.

The prize is added to any line wins on the same spin, so a reel full of wilds can work twice: it completes lines and moves the count toward six. The steps also show how the ladder is weighted. Six and seven return only 1x and 2x, so the ladder starts to matter from nine symbols, where one spin pays 25 times the bet.

The rules: the wild substitutes for all symbols, and six or more FIRESTRIKE symbols anywhere win a bonus. FluxPlays demo test, 18 October 2026.

The 15-wild jackpot

The top of the board is a separate prize. If exactly 15 FIRE STRIKE WILDs fill the screen, every position a wild, the game pays its GRAND JACKPOT of 25,000x the bet: $25,000 at $1, and $50,000 at the $2.00 bet the demo opens with. Fifteen symbols of any other mix stay on the ladder at 5,000x.

The rules name no maximum win beyond that jackpot, and they do not say whether the 5,000x step and the line wins are paid on top of it. Review sites put the game's ceiling at 25,000x or 27,000x; with nothing in the rules to settle it, our table has no max win row.

The rules: 6 to 15 FIRESTRIKE or wild symbols pay $1.00 to $5,000.00 at $1, and exactly 15 wilds win the $25,000 jackpot. FluxPlays demo test, 18 October 2026.

RTP, volatility and bets

The rules give a 96.5% RTP and bets from $0.10 to $250, five times the $50 top bet the review sites we checked list. They also carry a LOW VOLATILITY badge, which the intro screen repeats, where those sites call the game medium or higher. There is no bonus buy, ante bet, special mode or gamble, so the bet is the only setting.

The rules: a LOW VOLATILITY badge, 10 paylines, a 96.5% RTP and bets from $0.10 to $250. FluxPlays demo test, 18 October 2026.

Our Fire Strike demo test

The demo opened at $2.00 with the jackpot shown as $50,000. Five presses of the minus button took the bet to $1.00, 10 lines at $0.10, and the whole board fell with it, to $1.00 for six symbols and $25,000 for the jackpot. With nothing to buy or switch on, the 100 base spins were the whole test.

Spin 1 was a normal click; a script clicked the spin button for the rest, without autoplay, and quick spin from spin 2 changed only the speed.

The game paid on 17 of the 100 spins: five of $0.50, eleven from $1.00 to $3.00 and one far larger. The longest run without a win was 12 spins, from 52 to 63, and the 100 spins returned $51.00 in all.

That larger win came on spin 40. Wilds filled reel 1 and landed twice more on reel 4, a plain FIRESTRIKE symbol sat on reel 2, and green gems landed on reels 2, 3 and 5. A line of green gems completed by wilds paid $25.00, and the six flame symbols added the $1.00 bottom step of the ladder, $26.00 in all.

Spin 40 of 100 at $1: a line of green gems with wilds paid $25.00 and six FIRESTRIKE symbols $1.00, $26.00 in all. FluxPlays demo test, 18 October 2026.

Five of those six flame symbols were wilds, which shows the double role at work. It was still a single result: without spin 40, the other 99 spins returned $25.00, and its "FIRE STRIKE NICE!" banner was only caught while counting, so we show the settled board.

The ladder paid one more time, $2.00 on its own on spin 96, the prize for seven. No spin reached eight or more symbols, so we never saw the larger steps, the 15-symbol prize or the jackpot; they are described from the rules. Every other winning spin, 15 of them, paid from lines alone.

The whole session in one line:

• Base game, 100 spins at $1: $100.00 in, $51.00 back

The server balance went from $100,000.00 to $99,951.00, the same as our log. A hundred spins cannot test a 96.5% RTP or the low badge, and with no bonus round to wait for, they show only how the base game and the ladder behaved on one day.

Is Fire Strike worth trying?

Fire Strike suits players who like a classic sevens slot and want one extra that can land on any spin. Counting flame symbols anywhere, with wilds counting too, gives every spin two chances at once: a line and the ladder. When the count does get going, the steps are steep, from 25x at nine symbols to 500x at twelve.

The limits are just as plain. There are no free spins, no buy and nothing that builds between spins, so each result stands alone. Six and seven symbols pay only 1x and 2x, the jackpot needs every position to be a wild, and the rules name no maximum win. In our 100 spins the ladder paid twice, for $1.00 and $2.00.

777 Wheel Blitz, a Pragmatic Play sevens slot we have also tested, builds on the same theme the other way. It plays on 3x3 reels with 5 lines, and three matching symbols on the middle line start one of four prize wheels, the top one reaching 5,000x. It also sells a 40x buy, and its rules carry a high badge.
