ENJOY has expanded its Fire Express franchise with the launch of Fire Express 2: Hold and Win, introducing upgraded mechanics and enhanced gameplay designed to strengthen player engagement and commercial performance.
The 5×3, five-payline slot retains the original’s high-speed train theme, combining classic slot symbols with a modern, metallic visual style and feature-driven gameplay. The sequel builds on the established success of its predecessor while introducing new systems aimed at increasing win frequency and session longevity.
A key addition is the Stacked Reels feature, which can replicate the outcome of the first reel across the remaining reels, significantly boosting line win potential. Bonus and Collect symbols that do not immediately trigger the feature are stored in a visible “train” above the reels, contributing to bonus progression.
The Hold and Win bonus game is activated with three respins, with any new Bonus, Collect or Multiplier symbol resetting the counter. Collect symbols aggregate all visible coin values, while multipliers ranging from x2 to x10 enhance payouts across occupied positions.
The title also incorporates a five-tier jackpot system—Mini, Minor, Maxi, Major and Grand—with the top prize reaching up to 5,000x the total bet when all positions on the grid are filled.
Additional features include an Extra Bonus mechanic, which can randomly trigger via collected symbols to start the bonus round with pre-filled positions, as well as Bonus Buy options that provide direct access to the feature with varied configurations.
The release reinforces ENJOY’s strategy of evolving proven IP with enhanced mechanics and scalable features tailored for operator portfolios.
Taras Stepovyi, Product Owner at ENJOY Gaming, said:
“With Fire Express 2: Hold and Win, our goal was to build on the success of an established player favourite and evolve it into an even stronger commercial product with broader appeal and greater long-term value for operators.
“We introduced features such as Stacked Reels, upgraded multiplier mechanics and visible bonus progression to increase engagement, extend session time and create more frequent high-impact moments, while preserving the core identity that made the original Fire Express so popular.”
