Fire Strike Bonus Ladder: What 6 to 15 Fire Symbols Pay, and Where 27,000x Comes From

Short answer: Fire Strike is a Pragmatic Play 5-reel, 3-row, 10-line slot in which FIRESTRIKE symbols (and wilds) landing anywhere pay an instant bonus once there are six or more on screen. The official ladder is steep at the bottom: six symbols return exactly your total bet (1x), seven pay 2x and eight pay 8x; the big numbers start at nine (25x) and climb to 5,000x for fifteen. Fifteen wild symbols instead award the 25,000x Grand Jackpot, and adding the ten five-wild line wins that the same full screen creates (2,000x) gives exactly the 27,000x maximum listed by the provider. On a ₱10 spin, that is ₱10 back for the most common bonus and ₱270,000 at the theoretical top.

This guide reads Pragmatic Play’s published numbers, converts them into pesos and compares them with a 1,000-spin sample that we ran on the provider’s free demo server. Peso amounts use a hypothetical ₱10 bet (₱1 per line) for illustration only. Sources were checked on 15 October 2026; our own calculations and anything we could not confirm are labelled as such.

The official numbers and their sources

Figures come from the provider’s Fire Strike data page on pragmaticplay.fun, the game information returned by Pragmatic Play’s official demo server (game code vs10firestrike) and a copy of the Fire Strike game rules hosted by a casino operator, which we treat as that operator’s version of the provider rules.

The FIRESTRIKE ladder in pesos

The rules copy lists the bonus in coins for a 10-coin bet, and the demo server returns the same ladder directly as multiples of the total bet (1, 2, 8, 25, 50, 150, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 and 25,000). The rules state that bonus wins are multiplied by the total bet and that both FIRESTRIKE and WILD symbols count toward the total. The peso column uses a ₱10 bet (hypothetical example).

Two practical points follow (our reading). First, the bonus that you will see most often, six symbols, is a refund rather than a profit: the spin costs ₱10 and the bonus pays ₱10, so unless a line also wins, the balance does not move. Second, each extra symbol roughly doubles to quadruples the bonus, so the gap between “a bonus” and “a big bonus” is several symbols wide; nine symbols is the first step that pays more than 20x.

Where the 27,000x maximum comes from

The provider lists a 27,000x maximum win, while the Grand Jackpot is 25,000x. Our calculation reconciles the two. A screen of 15 wilds also completes all 10 paylines with five wilds each. The demo pay table pays 2,000 coins per line for five wilds, and line wins are multiplied by the bet per line, so ten lines pay 10 × 2,000 = 20,000 coins on a 10-coin bet, which is 2,000x the total bet. 25,000x + 2,000x = 27,000x, exactly the published figure. At a ₱10 bet that would be ₱270,000. The provider does not publish how often this happens, and we could not calculate it (see the limits below).

Line wins: what the reels pay on their own

The demo server’s pay table, read as multiples of the line bet (₱1 per line at a ₱10 total bet), gives the following for the eleven regular symbols, from the highest-paying to the lowest. Symbol names are not in the server data, so they are shown as tiers.

These amounts are per winning line at ₱1 per line. The lowest three-of-a-kind (₱5) returns half of a ₱10 spin, which is why our sample below contains wins smaller than the bet even though the game is listed as medium volatility.

jili777’s demo sample: 1,000 spins

On 15 October 2026 we played 1,000 paid spins on Pragmatic Play’s official demo server at 0.20 per line (2.00 demo units per spin), saved every server response and reconciled the run against the final demo balance. Demo currency only; no real money was involved. A sample this size shows what a session can look like; it cannot measure RTP or the chance of rare outcomes.

• The ladder held exactly. Every one of the 29 bonus events paid the multiple shown in the official ladder for its symbol count, which confirms that wilds count toward the total and that the bonus is paid on the total bet.
• Two-thirds of bonuses were refunds. 19 of the 29 bonus events had six symbols and paid 1x. Only one spin in 1,000 reached the 25x step, and none reached ten symbols.
• Long dry spells are normal. With a hit rate near one in five, a run of 39 losing spins in a row is unusual but not alarming over 1,000 spins; budget for runs like that before you start.
• The session lost 24.8% of the amount staked. In a game whose return depends heavily on rare 10+ symbol bonuses, a few hundred or a thousand spins without one will usually finish well below the 96.5% average.

Limits: what we could not verify

The demo server sends reel strips when the game opens. We tested whether they reproduce the 96.5% RTP; they do not (they give a total well above 100% when combined with the bonus ladder), which is consistent with these being display strips rather than the certified maths. We therefore do not publish any calculated probability for 10+ symbols, the Grand Jackpot or the 27,000x maximum. Other things we could not confirm from an official source: symbol names for each pay tier, the volatility label on the provider’s own site (only the rules copy says medium), and the RTP version used by any particular casino. Check the game’s information screen at the casino where you play.

• Verified from provider or rules sources: layout, 10 lines, RTP 96.5%, hit frequency 19.8%, 27,000x maximum, bet range, no Ante or Buy, the 1x–5,000x ladder and the 25,000x Grand Jackpot, the coin pay table.
• jili777’s calculations: peso conversions, step ratios, the 25,000x + 2,000x reconciliation, the sample analysis and chart.
• Hypothetical examples: every peso amount based on a ₱10 bet.

Before you play

Each spin is independent and random; nothing in this article predicts the next result. A six-symbol bonus that refunds your bet is not a sign that a larger one is near. Set a budget and a stopping time before you start, avoid raising your bet to chase the ladder, and treat the Grand Jackpot as a very rare outcome rather than a target. Online gambling in the Philippines is for adults aged 21 and over, under the rules of the platform and the authorities that regulate it.
