Blueprint Gaming launches Cash Strike Hotstepper Megaways slot

Blueprint Gaming has added a new title to its Cash Strike series with the launch of Cash Strike Hotstepper Megaways on 30th January 2025.

The game uses a 3x3 grid layout featuring fruit symbols and flaming gold coins, with each of the three reels able to display up to five symbols at once. Combined with the Megaways mechanic, this allows for as many as 125 ways to win per spin. The title’s maximum win potential is set at 50,000 times the original stake.

Returning features with added mechanics

The game brings back the Hotstepper feature from a previous release in the series. This is triggered when a Cash Collect symbol lands on the middle reel, after which the Collect symbol shifts down one position with each subsequent spin, increasing the likelihood of landing cash or jackpot wins on the outer reels. Any cash symbols or fixed jackpots on reels one or three are paid out when they appear alongside the Cash Collect symbol on reel two.

A Cash Strike Bonus round can also be triggered when Cash Prize symbols land on reels one and three together with a Cash Collect on reel two. During this feature, a Cash Strike symbol on the centre reel collects coins landing in view and resets the spin count to three, extending play until the free spins are exhausted.

Additionally, a Gold Strike feature collects cash and collect symbols during base gameplay, adding them to a Cash Strike meter at the top of the screen. When filled, this guarantees entry into the Cash Strike bonus game.
