Street Fighter 2 Slot is now available to play in Canada!
Who didn’t like to play a few arcade games back in the day. Actually, most of the time it was an entire day spent down at the arcade, later to be Sega nights. Last, most of us would agree that it was to play Street Fighter. So many characters, so many fights. Guile, Ryu, Bison, Blanka! Too much nostalgia to comprehend. NetEnt, ever the licensing agreement landing geniuses, have capitalised on the nostalgia draw and given us Street Fighter 2: The Word Warrior slot. As you’ll be able to tell, it’s a follow up and delivers cluster pays, cascading reels and some bonus pleasure. Let’s take a look-see as to what you’ll be able to get from this slot other than a longing for the old days.
NetEnt haven’t gone and given Street Fighter a revamped look, with modern-day graphics and new sound effects. It’s all the same as what you’ll remember, with 8 bit visuals that you can’t believe looked so realistic at one point in your life. Right at the beginning of the casino game you’ll be required to choose a character which you’ll see fighting another character in the background of the reels as you play. It’s all pretty cool, with something always going on. You’ll find a cascading reel system with zero paylines. NetEnt have gone with cluster pays, meaning that symbols payout as grouped icons, and not lining up in a row. It depends what you like as a player, but the cascading system always works a treat for the respins.
Street Fighter 2: The Word Warrior is a brand new game, so as it stands there isn’t too much information surrounding the maximum wins. NetEnt announced that the return to player ratio stands at a very respectable 96.06%, which is a brilliant safety net. Being a NetEnt title, you can expect Street Fighter 2: The Word Warrior online slot to have a jackpot in the CAD$250,000.00 area.
This is where things will become all too familiar. Most of the most famous characters from the arcade games are used as symbol. Not all the characters will be used as symbols depending on which character you choose at the beginning of the game. Ryu, Guile, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Ken, Blanka, Zangief and Chun-Li are all part of the action at some point in the action. There’s also the playing card icons J, Q, K and A that can land in cluster pays.
There’s a wild symbol that will stand in for all regular symbols to create a winning cluster, and this will definitely come in handy for added value.
NetEnt have done a sterling job of making this an interactive game through giving you the option to choose a character who fights another fighter in the background of the reels. The bonus features all depend on whether your chosen character wins or loses that fight. It would be best if you got high value symbol wins, which sees collect wild points. Once you’ve collected enough wild points your fighter wins or loses the fight. Winning the fight takes you to a free spins round where you fight a boss. There are 4 bosses which you can work your way through. Each win when fighting a boss in the free spins comes with a multiplier. The biggest of the bosses is Bison, which is the 4th boss you could face in the free spins, which comes with a 10x multiplier on all wins.
Losing the initial fight in the base game also gives you a bonus feature which sees your fighter smash a car where multipliers are also available.
Fighting the bosses is where you’ll want to spend most of your time in Street Fighter 2: The Word Warrior. This is because the wins can come thick and fast and they come with awesome multipliers. The Car Smash Bonus also isn’t too bad, and it comes even when your character loses the fight. It could be quite a complex slot for an inexperienced player, but it’s boatloads of fun and completely different from the everyday online slots titles you’ve played before.
