Blueprint Gaming released Cash Strike Fire Lock on 6 August, extending its Cash Strike family with a new bonus structure built around a charged fireball, a vertically expanding Fire Lock Bonus, the return of Hotstepper and three Power Play tiers. The game carries a stated maximum win of 10,724x the base bet.
According to InterGameonline, the slot is built on a 3×3 base grid with a fireball positioned above the reels. During base play, each Cash Prize or Collect symbol that lands charges the fireball, which can then randomly trigger the Fire Lock Bonus by adding further Cash Prize and Collect symbols to the reels. Players can also enter the bonus through the traditional Cash Strike route, with Cash Prize symbols on reels one and three and a Collect symbol on reel two.
Once the bonus begins, the grid expands vertically to reveal three additional locked rows above the base grid. Each Cash Prize or Collect symbol that lands then advances the player toward unlocking each row in turn, and each unlock increases the available prize pool as the bonus progresses.
Hotstepper returns in the new title as well. A Collect symbol on reel two triggers the feature, and the Collect symbol then steps down one position per spin until it leaves the grid. That gives players more chances to pick up Money Collect wins.
Power Play comes back in a multi-tier form at 5x, 10x or 20x the base bet. During each tier, the reels are restricted to Cash Prize, Collect and Mystery symbols, making it a denser route into the bonus.
The release fits a wider pattern in the UK-facing online slots market, where cash-collect mechanics remain prominent and suppliers keep iterating established series. Blueprint said Cash Strike has become one of its standout game families, and that Fire Lock is the latest example of evolving the brand with fresh mechanics. The company also said the release is intended to resonate with players and operators across regulated markets.
