Introduction to Triple Action Fire Wheel
Triple Action Fire Wheel is a casino slot from Blueprint Gaming with a very simple presentation and classic casino vibes. Blueprint Gaming, while occasionally delivering solid titles, such as its beloved The Goonies series, has always had a certain affection for simple casino slots. There’s no better example of this than their 2024 Cash Strike release, which blended old-school visuals with Cash Collect mechanics, and later spurred a wide range of sequels and variations. Triple Action Fire Wheel is, sort of, part of this lineage, as while it may not say so in the title, just about everything else in the game is taken from previously released Cash Strike games and formed into this slot experience. When it comes to features, we have familiar mechanics such as the Cash Collect, the titular Fire Wheel bonus prizes, and the second titular bonus, the Triple Action Spins, all of which have been previously seen in other Blueprint Gaming releases. So, if you’re looking for the best of both worlds, or something along those lines, Triple Action Fire Wheel does offer some volatile, yet familiar, spins, alongside a max win of 5,000X the bet.
Blueprint Gaming has delivered a sort of amalgamation of previous Cash Strike titles into one new slot experience in the form of Triple Action Fire Wheel.
Theme, Gameplay, & Payouts
Triple Action Fire Wheel is a video slot from Blueprint Gaming with 6 Reels, 4 Rows, and 4,096 ways to win. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.1 and a Max.bet of 50. Triple Action Fire Wheel comes with a lower-than-average RTP of 94%, medium/high volatility, and a solid max win of 5,000X the bet.
Just as in its predecessors, Triple Action Fire Wheel is set against a black yet sparkling golden backdrop, with its many symbols being typical old-school casino icons. On top of the playing grid are the Triple Action bonuses, each orb consisting of spins, multipliers, and symbols, respectively, and to the side of the reels you can find the titular Fire Wheel. You can play the game on most notepads, desktops, and mobiles.
The lower-paying symbols are J, Q, K, and A. Creating a win with 6 of the same symbols pays out 1X to 1.2X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are classic slot symbols, including cherries, lemons, oranges, watermelons, bells, stars, and 7s. Landing a win with 6 of the same symbols pays out 1.5X to 5X the bet. The Special Symbols include quite a few symbols such as Wilds, Cash, Collect, Action Strike Collect, and Triple Diamond Scatter Symbols, but more on these in the next section.
Special Features & Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Triple Action Fire Wheel?
You can win up to 5,000X the bet.
What features are available in the slot Triple Action Fire Wheel?
The features are Wild Symbols, Cash Collect, Fire Wheel, Action Spins, Ante Bet (Power Play), and Feature Buy.
Wild Symbols
Wild Symbols help form winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Collect, Cash, and Scatter Symbols.
Cash Collect
The Cash Collect mechanic consists of Collect Symbols on reels 1 and 6, Cash Symbols that appear on reels 1 to 6, and Action Strike Collect Symbols, which will collect all Cash Symbols in view alongside the Multiplier that sits above the playing grid.
Fire Wheel
Landing any Fire Wheel Token will be collected into the Fire Wheel, which has a chance to trigger, awarding you a spin with multiple prizes, and they are as follows:
Jackpot = Awards the Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand Jackpot prize.
Super Collect = The reels spin to guarantee a Cash Collect trigger.
Fire It Up = The reels spin to guarantee a payline win.
Bonus = Guarantees the Action Spins bonus game.
Epic Bonus = Guarantees the Epic version of the Action Spins bonus game.
Action Spins
The Triple Action Spins has a chance to trigger each time you land a Triple Action Diamond Scatter Symbol, but will also guarantee to trigger by landing 3 on the same spin. The Action Spins consist of 3 Fire Orb bonuses above the playing grid, which can be upgraded in the base game by landing the Triple Action Diamond Scatter Symbol, and these Fire Orbs determine how the bonus game is played, as they consist of Spins, Multipliers, and Symbols. During the bonus game, only Action Strike Collect and Cash Symbols can appear, and each collected Cash Symbol will be multiplied according to the bonus game’s Multiplier Meter. The bonus game also starts with 11 spins, which can be upgraded in the base game to a maximum of 15 spins.
Ante Bet (Power Play)
By turning on any of the Ante Bet options, you increase your chances of triggering bonuses, but at the cost of increasing your current bet.
5X = Activates the Power Play, making Collect Symbols appear as a single symbol.
10X = Activates the Super Power Play, making Collect Symbols appear in a stack of 2.
20X = Activates the Ultra Power Play, making only Scatter, Collect, and Cash Symbols appear on the playing grid.
Feature Buy
Through the Feature Buy, you can instantly trigger the bonus game for a price based on the current bet
100X = Awards the ??? bonus game, triggering the Action Spins with a random amount of Fire Orb Bonuses.
500X = Awards the Epic bonus game, triggering the Action Spins with 20 spins, 10X Multiplier, and 200 symbols.
Final Thoughts on Triple Action Fire Wheel
While we, among many other players, definitely enjoy the occasional modern, classic release, we feel like we might be feeling a bit of oversaturation from Blueprint Gaming’s Cash Strike series, and renaming it doesn’t help hide the fact that it is a very familiar title. Triple Action Fire Wheel isn’t an ugly game, but it also doesn’t really hook us in with its presentation, theme, or visuals, as it feels nearly identical to many other releases we’ve seen before, which in turn makes it feel forgettable as soon as we stop spinning. However, its golden glow is at least a bit of a step up from the typical fiery visuals we’ve grown used to, even if that’s but a small upgrade in the larger scope of things.
When it comes to gameplay, Triple Action Fire Wheel presents itself as a Cash Collect foundation with Blueprint Gaming’s Triple Action Bonuses mechanic to pair the two features together. It all works just fine, however, its features still feel quite disconnected from each other and feel more like a chaotic mess than a finely woven slot experience. By itself in the base game, the Cash Collect mechanic feels a bit too basic, with the Action Strike Collect Symbol being the star of the show. This is because it can interact with the Multiplier Orb bonus, but even so, it rarely feels impactful outside of the Action Spins bonus game. Speaking of which, the Action Spins bonus game is, at its core, just a standard Cash Collect bonus game. What gives it some depth is the Orb Upgrade mechanic in the base game, but just as with the Action Strike Collect Symbols, it can take a while before the upgrades really feel impactful. Then we have the Fire Wheel Bonus, which we don’t have a lot to say about, as its prizes aren’t exactly innovative or new. All in all, Triple Action Fire Wheel is, as we mentioned in the introduction, an amalgamation of previous Blueprint Gaming titles formed into one game, and it doesn’t exactly deliver on the best version of any of its mechanics.
Triple Action Fire Wheel is a slot all about its titular features that have been present in previous Cash Strike sequels and variations, blending Cash Collect mechanics with an upgradeable Collect bonus game and a bonus prize Fire Wheel feature.
