About Fire Strike
Released in March 2019, Fire Strike is one of the most iconic fruit Hold & Spin slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio. Pragmatic rode the success of Wolf Gold (2017, the inventor of Pragmatic's Hold & Win) and 5 Lions Gold (2018) with a classic fiery fruit variant — traditional fruit symbols (cherries, lemons, oranges, grapes, watermelons) on a blazing red background with orange flames, and Pragmatic's signature Hold & Spin mechanic.
The format is a classic 5×3 grid on 10 paylines with an official RTP of 96.5%. High volatility. Max win 5,000× your stake — generous compared to other Hold & Spin titles from the same era (Wolf Gold 1,000×, Floating Dragon 2,580×).
Signature mechanic: Money Respin Hold & Spin. When 6+ Fire Money Coin symbols appear simultaneously on the grid, the Hold & Spin bonus triggers. You get 3 respins. On each respin, existing Money Coins stay sticky and each new Money Coin resets the respin count to 3. The bonus continues until 0 new coins land across 3 consecutive respins OR the grid fills completely (15 spots).
Each Money Coin carries either a fixed value or a jackpot: Mini, Minor, Major, Grand. A full 15-spot grid guarantees the Grand jackpot — max win 5,000× your stake.
In addition, Free Spins trigger with 3 scatters. During free spins, Fire wilds appear on every spin with x2/x3 multipliers on line wins.
No Bonus Buy available — typical of 2019-era Pragmatic slots before Bonus Buy became standard. Natural Hold & Spin trigger ~1/300 spins, Free Spins trigger ~1/200 spins. Patience required, but the rewards are consistent.
Availability: Fire Strike is widely distributed — available at regulated casinos and at top BCE crypto casinos alike. It's one of the most internationally accessible Pragmatic Hold & Spin titles thanks to its recognizable fruit theme. For fans of classic Hold & Spin slots with fixed jackpots and a fiery fruit universe, Fire Strike remains a genre reference.
