Blueprint Gaming unlocks extra rows in Cash Strike Fire Lock

Blueprint Gaming has expanded its popular Cash Strike series with Cash Strike Fire Lock. This is a new release that introduces an evolving bonus grid, returning Hotstepper mechanics, as well as an exciting maximum win of 10,724x the stake.

The Cash Strike family has become one of Blueprint’s strongest-performing ranges across several markets, and Fire Lock looks to build on that success with a bonus feature focusing on unlocking three hidden rows.

During the base game, a fireball positioned above the reels gradually charges whenever a Cash Prize or Collect symbol appears.

Once sufficiently fired up, it can randomly activate the Fire Lock Bonus by adding extra Cash Prize and Collect symbols to the reels.

You can also trigger the feature more traditionally by landing Cash Prize symbols on reels one and three alongside a Collect symbol on reel two.

Fire Lock Bonus expands the 3×3 grid

Once the Bonus Game begins, the standard 3×3 layout expands vertically to reveal three additional locked rows.

Cash Prize and Collect symbols landing during the feature contribute towards unlocking these new sections, gradually increasing the number of available reel positions and, in turn, the overall prize potential.

Back in the base game, Blueprint’s Hotstepper mechanic also makes its return.

Landing a Collect symbol on reel two triggers the feature, causing that symbol to move down by one position after every subsequent spin. It continues doing so until it leaves the grid completely, providing several opportunities to collect Cash Prize values along the way.

Cash Strike Fire Lock additionally includes Blueprint’s Power Play mode, with three levels available at 5x, 10x and 20x the standard stake.

During Power Play, only Cash Prize, Collect and Mystery symbols can appear, stripping away the normal symbols and placing a much greater emphasis on the game’s collection mechanics.
