Blueprint Gaming Debuts Cash Strike Fire Lock With Expanding Bonus Rows

Blueprint Gaming has expanded its Cash Strike portfolio with the launch of Cash Strike Fire Lock, a new slot whose bonus round centers on three hidden rows that players unlock by landing Cash Prize and Cash Strike symbols.

According to the supplier, several titles in the series have regularly ranked among its top 10 revenue-generating games, and the new instalment offers a 10,724x maximum win.

In the base game, a fireball sits above the reels. Each Cash Prize or Collect symbol that lands charges it, and the accumulated charge can randomly activate the Fire Lock Bonus, which also adds extra Cash Prize and Collect symbols to the grid. There is also a standard entry route into the feature: Cash Prize symbols on reels one and three, combined with a Collect symbol on reel two.

When the bonus triggers, three locked rows are added above the existing 3x3 layout. Every Cash Prize or Collect symbol that lands during the round helps unlock these rows, with each row opened increasing the total prize pool.

The Hotstepper mechanic is included as well. A Collect symbol on reel two starts the feature, with the symbol then moving down one position on each subsequent spin until it leaves the grid, giving players additional chances to land Money Collect wins. Power Play also returns, offering multipliers of 5x, 10x or 20x the bet; in these modes, only Cash Prize, Collect and Mystery symbols appear on the reels.

Alex Naspe, Head of Marketing Intelligence at Blueprint Gaming, said the launch shows how the studio is “evolving the series with fresh mechanics,” and added that the company is confident the title will appeal to players and operators across its regulated markets.
