Fire Strike 2 Review

It’s interesting to note that the original Fire Strike had its wide release only days before 9 Masks Of Fire. Despite being built around a very similar instant prize concept, as well as having far superior top prizes, Pragmatic Play’s fruit machine-inspired effort never achieved anywhere near the same popularity as the smash hit Gameburger release.

Such is the brutal nature of this business, and it’s hard to know why certain games float while others sink in many cases. Pragmatic has wisely included a bonus round in Fire Strike 2, making it even more similar to most competitors in the popular scatter jackpots genre. The visuals are pretty much the same, while the soundtrack has been upgraded, and it will be interesting to see if this sequel will make more of a splash.

Fire Strike 2 Slot Features

The symbols pay between 5 and 100 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you can land Firestrike Wild symbols on all 5 reels. The wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and wilds also pay 200x your stake for 5 on a payline. Of course, the Firestrike Wild also serves as a Firestrike scatter prize symbol, as we shall see below.

You need 6+ Firestrike and/or Firestrike Wild symbols on the same spin to win an instant cash prize in the base game. More precisely, landing 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 Firestrike scatters and/or wilds award 1x, 2x, 8x, 25x, 50x, 150x, 500x, 1,000x, 2,500x or 5,000x your stake, respectively. The 25,000x jackpot is won if you manage to fill the grid with nothing but Firestrike Wilds.

You need 3 diamond scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 to trigger the Bonus Round (hit rate of 1 in 181 spins), and this awards 12 free spins. The feature plays out similarly to the base game, but you now need 1 less Firestrike scatter/wild to win the cash prizes. You will thus need “only” 14 Firestrike symbols of any kind to win the 5,000x prize.

Firestrike scatters or wilds may also become sticky for the remainder of the bonus round when they land. This is highly significant, as any mix of 15 Firestrike symbols (wilds or not) will land you the 25,000x jackpot in the bonus round. The feature is retriggered with +12 extra spins when you land 3 scatters on the same free spin.

The 200 Spins Fire Strike 2 Slot Experience

Nothing overly exciting happened for us in the base game, but we landed a smaller Firestrike prize. The bonus round triggers around 1:11 into the 3-minute highlights video, and this gave us 12 free spins. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The original Fire Strike was more of a barebones fruit slot, as everything revolved around the Firestrike instant prize concept. Visually, the two installments are very similar, but we actually preferred the animated flames in the backdrop of the original, compared to lava stones in this sequel. The turbo spin option is a very welcome upgrade though, allowing you to plow through plenty of spins with a highly satisfying game pace.

The Firestrike prizes, as well as the top-tier 25,000x jackpot, are all the same, so the biggest difference is the bonus round that’s been added. This makes Fire Strike 2 a very strong competitor in the popular instant scatter jackpot genre, and the randomly sticky Firestrike scatters/wilds gives you another edge towards the higher prizes. The theme makes it stick out a bit from many competitors, and this is a jazzed-up funky fruit ride capable of very solid payouts.

If you appreciate Fire Strike 2 Slot you should also try:

Fire Strike - is Pragmatic Play’s original fruit machine inspired release, and it comes with the same 5x3 reels with 10 paylines setup. Visually similar, you get the same instant Firestrike prizes as well, but this game does not come with any kind of bonus round.

9 Blazing Diamonds - is a fruit slot inspired release from SpinPlay, and this medium volatile installment comes with scatter jackpots up to 2,500x your stake. However, the multiplier you get from the pre-bonus wheel can boost the prizes up to 10,000x your stake, which is also the game’s win cap.

Emerald Gold - is a popular Irish Luck leprechaun-themed release from Just For The Win, and a follow-up to Western Gold. Massive scatter jackpots up to 25,000x your stake can be landed in the base game, and the hold-and-win style bonus round is all about collecting scatters to climb the prize ladder.
