108 Heroes Multiplier Fortunes

It’s a battle royal in Microgaming’s latest slot (exclusively provide byTriple Edge Studios): many warriors have gathered on these five reels, with players hoping to reap the benefits. This five-reel, 15-payline slot takes the all-you-can-eat buffet approach to thematic content: a vast array of heroes appears on the reels, each paying homage to a different region of Asian culture and lore. Graphics are excellent, and all free spin wins are multiplied by three.

Theme

A battle for championship status is the setting for 108 Heroes. Many of these heroes are among the game symbols: a muscle-bound, bald man taunting a foe; a fierce-looking woman clad in an obi and brandishing a sword; a martial arts master in a while gi; a bearded man in green, sporting two hand axes; and a warrior in golden armor with a red feather in his hat. Red treasure chests launch a bonus game, a Chinese-language symbol acts as scatter, while the game title acts as wild. The playing cards valued ace through queen provide the lower-value symbols. The reels stand in a striking white-with-gold against a red background decorated with pink cherry blossoms: this is clearly a posh grand tournament. Gameplay and graphics are generally smooth, with some beautifully-animated sequences appearing when bonuses are triggered.

Betting Options and Functions

This coin-based slot features 15 fixed paylines, with players betting between one and five coins per line. Coin size can be set from 0.01 to 1.00, for an overall range from a minimum of 0.75 to a maximum of 75.00 per spin. Autoplay is available, and the game is available across several platforms, including desktop, mobile, and tablet.

Some very broad base play payouts are available in this slot. Five wild symbols pay an astonishing 37,500 coins, while five scatter symbols pay out 30,000. The appearance of three or more treasure chest symbols will trigger The King’s Treasure bonus game, in which players get to choose which chests among the regal treasury should be opened, with a win range from a somewhat paltry 36 to a handsome 2,500.

Features

When three or more of the Chinese letter symbol appears on the reels, free spins begin. This is the most lucrative element of gameplay in 108 Heroes. Players begin with 10 free spins, but more can be won within the bonus round. No matter how many spins are eventually triggered, all winnings within this game phase will be multiplied by three. If everything goes perfectly, up to 120,000 coins can be won in this way.

Our Take

108 Heroes illustrates the reasons why Microgaming is such a presence in online gaming: this is by no means their most-inspired work, yet it remains a far above-average slot. There are many opportunities to win, including both base play and bonuses, a colorful theme, and solid, reliable design. One need not be a hero to enjoy this slot, though if enough bonuses are triggered, a player may well begin to feel like one.
