Blueprint Gaming has released Cash Strike Fire Lock, the newest addition to its Cash Strike series, introducing a bonus round built around three hidden rows that players unlock through Cash Prize and Cash Strike symbols.
Several titles from the Cash Strike portfolio have consistently placed among the supplier’s top 10 revenue-generating markets. The new release carries a maximum win of 10,724x, building on the performance the series has established across regulated markets globally.
The base game centers on a fireball positioned above the reels. Each landing of a Cash Prize or Collect symbol charges the fireball, and this charge can randomly activate the Fire Lock Bonus, adding extra Cash Prize and Collect symbols to the reels in the process.
Players can also reach the Fire Lock Bonus through a standard entry path: Cash Prize symbols landing on reels one and three, paired with a Collect symbol on reel two.
Once triggered, the bonus expands the grid vertically, adding three locked rows above the base 3×3 layout. Each Cash Prize or Collect symbol that lands during the round pushes players toward unlocking these new rows, and the total prize pool grows accordingly with each row that opens.
The Hotstepper mechanic also carries over into Fire Lock. A Collect symbol landing on reel two activates the feature, after which the symbol shifts down one position on each subsequent spin until it moves out of view, giving players further chances to collect Money Collect wins along the way.
Power Play returns as well, offering three modes at 5x, 10x or 20x the original bet. Only Cash Prize, Collect and Mystery symbols appear on the reels during these modes.
Alex Naspe, Head of Marketing Intelligence at Blueprint Gaming, said: “Cash Strike has become one of our standout game families, and Fire Lock is the latest example of how we are evolving the series with fresh mechanics that keep gameplay engaging.
“By combining captivating features with the proven appeal of the brand, we are confident this release will resonate with players and operators across our regulated markets.”
