Game Overview

I remember the days I enjoyed a jiggle to the sound of thumping techno beats and then nipping off for a few spins on the old 3×3 1 pay line mechanical fruit machines with red 7s, diamonds, fruits, and bars on the reels lit up by an LED board with jackpot wins staring back at me. It’s great to see slot developers haven’t forgotten those days and bring back memories of old, which is precisely what Pragmatic Play has cleverly achieved for me personally, thanks to its Strike Frenzy slot game.

While bobbing my head to the fast techno rhythm pumping through my headphones, I was praying for a shot at 5,000x my bet via Strike Frenzy symbols or the possibility of a 25,000x jackpot win via 15 Strike Frenzy wilds, all featured at the top of the screen and beckoning me on to keep on spinning. And even though Strike Frenzy sets up on 5×3 reels and has 10 paylines rather than 3×3 and 1, I couldn’t help but reminisce.  RTPs on today’s slot are also a tad better compared to mechanical fruity gameplay back in the day, and Strike Frenzy doesn’t disappoint, thanks to an above-average 96.50% RTP coupled with medium-variance gameplay and the chance to spin in a 25,000x max win.

Ready for some fast-paced beats, reel spins, and action-packed base game wins? Get your techno head-on and take your shot at filling the reels with 15 Strike Frenzy symbols!

I don’t know about you, but simple is sometimes better, and Strike Frenzy definitely falls into the simple category. Just symbols, wilds, and I would venture as far as to say the Strike Frenzy symbol is a supercharged or glorified scatter. I can’t think of many slots that match Strike Frenzy, but the Hot to Burn series of slots comes close with Hot to Burn Extreme, Hot to Burn Multiplier 7, and Hot to Burn Multiplier all fast-paced, action-packed slots using classic symbols.

Eleven regular symbols with 12 combination wins to line up on the paylines doesn’t fit, but for a good reason. The highest-paying symbols, which are the red, purple, and green gems, combine as ‘any’ to also create the lowest-paying symbol combination win. Lining up 5 red, purple, or green gems across a payline triggers 100x, 50x, or 30x your spin bet, but if you combine any 3, 4, or 5 across a payline, you’ll land 0.5x, 2x, or 5x your stake. 

That still leaves us with 8 more combination wins. Blue Diamond, Triple Red 7s, Red 7, Gold Bars, Stacks of Banknotes, 3 Bar, 2 Bar, and 1 Bar 4-symbol combinations will pay 25x, 20x, 15x, 12.5x, 10x, 10x, 5x, or 5x your bet, in that order. There’s a 13th combination win via the Wild, paying 25x, 50x, or 200x if a reel spin lines up 3, 4, or 5 across a pay line.

As for minimum bets, Pragmatic Play caters for low budget players with €0.10 spin bets available, while those with more of an appetite for risk can pump up the action to €100.00 per spin.

Techno, hard house, or disco music, call it what you want; it is difficult to tell if Strike Frenzy is going for a retro disco background or a cheesy but modern dance floor theme. Either way, I am sure beat lovers aren’t going to notice the difference, as it’s hard to take your focus off those glaring big wins above the reels and the lightning-fast reel spins.

Figuring out the exact music genre of the theme might not be overly obvious, but understanding how symbols line up is a sinch. Land 3, 4, or 5 symbols from left to right on any of the 10 paylines to trigger a win. Wins tend to roll in quite often due to the medium volatility set by Pragmatic Play, and only 3 combinations will pay less than your spin bet when they do come. Plus, there is also the Stricke Frenzy Wild substituting for any of the regular symbols helping you create combinations wins or extend them for bigger payouts.

It might come as a disappointment to learn there is no bonus feature per se. With that being said, the Any Strike Frenzy symbol payouts and the jackpot more than make up for this, in my opinion.

Landing Any 6, 7, 8. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 Strike Frenzy symbols anywhere in view on the reels will land you a 1x, 2x, 8x, 25x, 50x, 150x, 500x, 1,000x, or 2,500x, win. If a single spin rolls in 15 Strike Frenzy symbols, filling all 15 positions on the reels, you’re in for a 5,000x multiplier.

Fill all 15 positions on the reels with the Strike Frenzy Wild, and you’ve hit the jackpot worth 25,000x your bet. It doesn’t happen often, but if it does, you’ll likely be heading to the nearest techno party to celebrate.

Pros

  • 25,000x spin bet jackpot with reels full of Strike Frenzy symbols
  • Perfect for those who enjoy simple slots with fruity-style gameplay
  • Only 3 combinations pay less than your spin bet

Cons

  • There is no bonus round (although I like the simplicity)
  • No multipliers if you don’t count the Strike Frenzy symbol as a multiplier

Strike Frenzy Slot Review Final Thoughts

Strike Frenzy will likely attract a mixed bag of players. If you’ve been playing slots for years, the symbols and fast gameplay give you the chance to relive those memories on modern reels. The absence of a bonus round might deter some, but the excitement of chasing those Strike Frenzy symbols and the 25,000x jackpot more than makes up for it for me. And, if the techno beats get too much, you can always turn off the ambience sound and leave FX on for game sounds. On a final note, as a final swaying point, I have to mention that only 3 combinations pay less than your spin bet, which is rare for any online slot by any standard.
