Fire Strike is a classic slot from Pragmatic Play: five reels, three rows, ten paylines, with 7s, BARs, diamonds, dice and chips on the reels. Its twist is a second count on every spin. Six or more fire symbols anywhere on the screen pay an instant prize, and fifteen wilds pay a 25,000x jackpot. There is no free spins round.

Where Fire Strike comes from
Pragmatic Play announced Fire Strike on 10 October 2019 as a new 3x5, ten-line slot built around the fire symbol bonus and the 25,000x jackpot. Fire Strike 2 is a separate Pragmatic game with its own rules, and this page covers only the original.
How Fire Strike works
Under the flames it is a plain line slot. Every spin bets on all ten lines, wins pay left to right from the first reel, and only the best win on each line counts. Wins on several lines add up.
The symbols are casino classics: three coloured 7s at the top, then a diamond, cash, chips, cards and dice, with BARs at the bottom. Mixed 7s on a line also pay, at the lowest rate. Five red 7s pay 100x the total bet.
Two symbols carry the flame, and they do different jobs. The Fire Strike Wild stands in for every symbol on all five reels, and five on a line pay 200x the total bet, the best line win in the game. The plain Fire Strike symbol pays nothing on a line. It is there for the count.
That count is the Fire Strike Bonus. When the reels stop, every fire symbol and fire wild on the screen is added up, wherever it landed. Six or more pay an instant prize, multiplied by the total bet. The table above the reels shows each prize in cash at your stake.
That is the whole game: no free spins, no bonus buy, no gamble, and nothing carried from one spin to the next. Each spin is settled the moment the reels stop.
What each Fire Strike count pays
Prizes are multiples of the total bet, here also in rand at R2 a spin. Fire Strike Wilds count towards every row.
| Fire Strike symbols on screen | Prize, times the total bet | At R2 a spin |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 1x | R2 |
| 7 | 2x | R4 |
| 8 | 8x | R16 |
| 9 | 25x | R50 |
| 10 | 50x | R100 |
| 11 | 150x | R300 |
| 12 | 500x | R1,000 |
| 13 | 1,000x | R2,000 |
| 14 | 2,500x | R5,000 |
| 15 | 5,000x | R10,000 |
| 15, all of them Fire Strike Wilds | 25,000x, the Grand Jackpot | R50,000 |
Reading the count
- Six is your stake back. Six fire symbols pay 1x the total bet and seven pay 2x. Six counts as a win, but on its own it only returns the stake.
- Each extra symbol at least doubles the prize. The prize climbs from 1x for six to 5,000x for fifteen. Prizes that change a session start at about eleven, more than two-thirds of the screen on fire at once.
- Wilds work twice. A Fire Strike Wild counts towards the bonus and stands in on the lines. A plain fire symbol only helps the count.
- Fifteen can mean two prizes. Fifteen fire symbols with at least one plain one among them pay 5,000x. Only fifteen wilds, one on every position, win the 25,000x Grand Jackpot.
- Some line wins are losses. Three single BARs, three double BARs or three mixed 7s pay half the total bet. If that is the only win, you are down by the other half.
Low volatility and a 25,000x jackpot in one game
Pragmatic rates Fire Strike as low volatility, games that in its words 'pay out more often in smaller amounts, while still having the chance to win big'. The prize table shows both sides. Three of a kind on a line pays half the bet to 25x, and six to eight fire symbols pay 1x to 8x. Prizes of 150x or more need eleven or more fire symbols, or five wilds on a line.
Nothing builds up between spins, so no prize is ever 'due'. With autoplay and turbo spin, Fire Strike can run very fast, and a spin count or a time limit keeps that in check.

Pros, cons and verdict
- Two ways to win on every spin: ten paylines plus a fire symbol count
- Every spin settles on its own, with no bonus round to chase or buy
- A published prize for every count from six to fifteen, shown in cash at your stake
- Rated low volatility by Pragmatic itself, so small wins are meant to come often
- Six and seven fire symbols pay only 1x and 2x the stake
- No free spins or separate bonus round to vary the rhythm
- The 25,000x jackpot needs all fifteen positions to be wilds at once
- Easy to confuse with Fire Strike 2, which is a separate game
Fire Strike is a classic line slot with one good extra rule: it counts the fire symbols on the screen and pays for six or more wherever they land. It is easy to follow and quick to settle. It also has no second act: with no free spins, every prize comes in a single spin. Play it for the count and the pace, and treat the jackpot as a long shot.
Fire Strike FAQ
How many Fire Strike symbols do you need to win?
Six or more, anywhere on the screen, and wilds count too. Six pay 1x the total bet, and each extra symbol at least doubles the prize, up to 5,000x for fifteen.
How do you win the Fire Strike jackpot?
Land exactly fifteen Fire Strike Wilds, a wild on every position. Pragmatic calls it the Grand Jackpot: 25,000x the total bet, or R50,000 on a R2 spin. A full screen with plain fire symbols in it pays 5,000x instead.
Does Fire Strike have free spins?
No. It has no free spins, bonus buy or gamble. Everything happens in the base spin: line wins on ten lines and the fire symbol count.
Is Fire Strike 2 the same game?
No. Fire Strike 2 is a separate Pragmatic Play slot with its own rules. This page and its casino list cover only the 2019 original.
Is Fire Strike a high or low volatility slot?
Low, by Pragmatic's own rating: smaller wins that come more often. The 25,000x jackpot needs a wild on all fifteen positions at once, so do not plan a session around it.
