Shaolin Showdown

Set in China, outside one of the most well-known temples in the world, this slot online game is packed with features to keep players entertained. The game features a selection of different Shaolin warriors and monks, all of whom must dedicate themselves to their craft. An interesting concept meets visually appealing design inside of Shaolin Showdown, with the animated background being a rather aesthetic touch. In addition to this, the board doesn't completely fill the screen, allowing players to appreciate other elements of the backdrop. 

This slot was produced by Skwind, a company that puts huge amounts of effort into their range of online slots. While this means they do not put out new titles on a regular basis, it does ensure that each of their games has the potential to impress punters. Some of their previous releases include Gold Shot, The Last Kingdom, and Book of Gems Megaways. 

Interestingly, the standard playing card-related symbols do not make an appearance in Shaolin Showdown, with all icons following the warrior theme. First up, we have a bottle, a drum, a pair of nunchucks, a spearhead, and a pair of knives. 

Next are the premium symbols, focused on four different warriors that appear to have mastered different elements. These icons are also represented by different colours, with blue, purple, green, and orange symbols all being active. Should five of these create a matching combination, players can be awarded with 7x, 10x, 13x, or 15x their stake size, respectively.

There are two different special symbols in Shaolin Showdown, with the first being a wild symbol, shown as some golden text against a red background. Scatter icons also appear and are shown as golden gongs, with a Ying and yang symbol in the middle. These correspond to the main bonus mode.

The bonus within Shaolin Showdown will be activated if six or more scatter symbols appear in any position. One of the nice things about the bonus in Shaolin Showdown is that the number of free spins is directly linked to how many scatter symbols appear during the triggering spin. There is also the potential for players to be awarded with two different variations of the bonus, known as standard free spins and super free spins.

During the standard free spins mode, reels 2, 3, and 4 will all spin together. This giant reel will contain 3x3 symbols, which can help players to create matching combinations. Super free spins is more desirable, as the name suggests. The super variation of the bonus will see reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 all spin simultaneously, with 3x4 symbols appearing on them. Both of these bonus modes can be retriggered by landing six or more scatter symbols. Again, the number of scatter icons will be how many additional free spins are awarded. 

All in all, there are many different elements of Shaolin Showdown that players may enjoy. The sharp graphics and smooth animations are amongst the visual aspects that stand out with this slot. Of course, many punters also look for a good range of bonus features before spinning an online slot, which is something else that Shaolin Showdown can certainly deliver on!
