How To Play Shogun of Time Mobile Slot
By adding just one extra reel, JFTW have turned this cyberpunk Shogun of Time slot into a strangely compelling game.
And we say strangely not in a bad way, but because this extra reel shouldn’t impress us as much as it does.
The reason being is that the Shogun of Time mobile slot is a 4 reel game that starts with 81 ways to win. When you win on a four of a kind, you get a 5th reel and this turns into 243 ways to win games.
And there are millions of 243 ways to win slots out there, why play on one that makes you jump through hoops just to get that extra 5th reel?
Well, because it’s not how many reels you start with that matters, but how you use them in the end.
A 4 of a kind win gives you a super loaded central reel
For one, playing on a 4 reel slot is surprisingly fun anyway. Granted, the wins aren’t out of this world, but this is a surprisingly well balanced Just For The Win slot game.
Mostly because every time you have a 4 of a kind win, you get a chance at catching those larger 5 of kinds by having that extra reel added to the middle of this Oriental sci-fi slot.
And the thing about that reel is that it’s loaded with wilds, so the chances of catching something are pretty high. Not enough to make you sing and dance, but enough to keep you going.
Plus, technically, it means you get a free spin on every single 4 of a kind win, which is always value for money.
The Shogun of Time slot is beautifully crafted
And we are not talking about the imaginative theme that sees a beautiful commander-in-chief in feudal Japan jumping through time to a future that is brighter and richer.
That’s awesome, and certainly beats the likes of the generic Amazing Aztec slot or Temple of Tut game, also by the same provider.
But mostly because it feels like a breath of fresh modern air when you hit the free spins and you get 243 ways to win slot that pays both ways. When was the last time you saw that happen?
Add a decent top win of 2,700 times your bet and a minimum wager of 0.10 a spin, and we’d happily recommend this casino slot to beginners and experienced gamblers alike.
