Game Overview

In an industry of ever-evolving slots and in-game mechanics, sometimes game providers decide to strip it all back and present us with something a little bit easier on the brain cells. That’s precisely what we have for you today in our slot review of Cash Strike Hotstepper from Blueprint Gaming, where after digging into the stats, I can reveal this to be a 3-reel game with an RTP of 96% and a maximum win of 50,000x the bet.

Three reel slot games can often be misleading, with players thinking there might be a lack of action baked into the gameplay, and whilst that might be true to a certain extent in Cash Strike Hotstepper, there are some features worthy of a mention. First off, there’s the Cash Collect bonus, which activates when a Collect symbol lands on reel 2, collecting any values or fixed jackpots that land on reels 1 and 3 simultaneously. Then there’s the Hotstepper bonus with the Cash Collect symbol nudging down one position each spin if it lands on reel 2. Finally, we have a Cash Strike Bonus, triggered when cash or jackpot symbols land on reels 1 and 3 and a Cash Collect symbol on reel 2. During this round, three respins are awarded, resetting each time a new cash symbol lands in view.

Are you tired of complex gaming engines and features? Then why not sample some simplistic slotting in our free Cash Strike Hotstepper demo slot? It’s free to play below.

Cash Strike Hotstepper Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

It often feels like we go through stages of reviewing incredibly complex slot games, and then the clouds break, and we get some real basic titles to cast our eyes over. We’re currently in the phase of a few classic releases being added to our free play slots catalogue, and in the last day or two, we tried out Atlantic Digital’s Cheers slot along with Joker’s Jewels Wild and the Hot to Burn Multiplier slot both from Pragmatic Play. So, if you want to save a bit of grey matter and not concentrate too much whilst slotting, go and try those games out when you’re done reading through our opinion on Cash Strike Hotstepper.

It’s time to find what you can win over at the pays section, and at the top of the paytable, we have the Red Sevens, which double up as the Wild symbol, worth 50x the bet for a three of a kind win. Next come the Stars valued at 30x, with the Bells following at 20x, whilst the Grapes and Melons complete the premium pays with equal returns of 16x if three match across a payline. Moving onto the lower pays, we find the Oranges, Plums and Lemons all sharing payouts of 4x the bet, and finally, there’s the Cherries awarding 1x the bet for a winning combo of three.

Wrapping up this part of the review, we end with the possible staking options available on Cash Strike Hotstepper. These begin at a low-roller-friendly minimum of €0.10 a spin and max out at a staggering €250 a press.

Cash Strike Hotstepper Slot Base Game

Cash Strike Hotstepper slot base game

You couldn’t ask for an easier playfield to understand, with the gameplay in Cash Strike Hotstepper taking place on a 3×3 reel formation with 5 fixed paylines in play. Wins will be awarded when three matching symbols land from left to right across one of the active ways to win.

Cash Collect

During every spin, cash and jackpot symbols can land on reels 1 and 3. If a cash collect symbol lands on reel two simultaneously, all values will be collected and added to your balance.

Hotstepper

Whenever a cash collect symbol lands on reel 2, it triggers the Hotstepper feature. Once activated, the cash collect symbol moves down one position on the next spin, giving you extra chances to land cash and jackpot symbols on reels 1 and 3.

Gold Strike Feature

Any cash, cashpot and collect symbols that land in view are added to the cash strike logo at the top of the screen. At any time, this can activate, guaranteeing you entry into the main bonus round of the slot.

Pros
