How To Play Sword Of Shoguns Mobile Slot
Thunderkick presents the Sword Of Shoguns slot game where you’ll find 6 reels, 5040 ways to win, Wild Scatters and Free Spins with up to 4 Expanding Scatters which could land you up to the 25,200x stake maximum win.
With its oriental slot theme, the Sword of Shogun mobile slot looks good and contains a few features that make the base game interesting and the free spins all the more impressive.
Set across six reels, you’ll find higher-paying Swords, Masks, Armour, and Fans with the Shogun as the highest-paying symbol. These combine with colourful A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 symbols which, aside from the Shogun’s Sword Wild, completes the set.
But Thunderkick has a few surprises in the base game that adds to the excitement of each spin.
Random Reel Heights on Every Spin
The base game has random reel heights of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 symbols. Each reel will have one of those symbol variations on each spin, but they will change in order per spin.
What does this mean for you?
It means that the 5040 ways to win never change per spin, you always get the same number of ways to win, but the odds of winning can change depending on what order the reels land in and what symbols land where.
It’s what makes the base game fun to play, and the addition of the Wilds means you can get some good base game wins land from time to time.
Sword of Shogun Free Spins with Expanding Scatters
Land three of the Sword Wild Scatters, and you’ll trigger the free spins bonus. A bonus feature which randomly rewards you with 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 12 free spins.
You’ll also get a randomly chosen paying symbol which will act as an Expanding Scatter symbol, much like you’ll find in many of the Book of Slots like Book of Books, Book of Thieves and Pilgrim of Dead.
Unlike the base game, the height of each reel is now set at the heights at which you triggered the bonus game, which can change how the free spins act every time you trigger them.
Where this video slot differs is that on a retrigger of the free spins, you’ll get not only 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 free spins but also an extra Expanding Scatter symbol.
You can have up to 4 Expanding Scatters at a time which will help you get close to that 25,200x stake max win, but wins over 100 – 300x your bet are more common.
