Red Cliff

Have you heard of the Battle of Red Cliffs? Whether your answer is “yes” or “no”, this fascinating Evoplay Entertainment release won’t leave you unmoved!

Theme

Otherwise known as a battle of Chibi, this epic event is one of the most significant parts of Chinese history. At the end of the prosperous Han Dynasty, the allied forces of the southern warlords Liu Bei and Sun Quan clashed against the numerically superior troops of the northern warlord Cao Cao.

Brave Liu Bei and Sun Quan have defeated their enemy…

… in the largest naval battle in history in terms of a number of warriors involved.

All the main characters of the plot have found their places on the striking reels which are set against the engaging backdrop – loads of war boats under the red flags on one side and a great number of soldiers on the other. Beautiful Lady Sun is the most high-paying regular symbol while three prominent men of that time make the rest of the high-paying grid.

… the scattered Shield and the wild Sword make a perfect combination…

Six low-value icons are illustrated by important attributes of Chinese culture: a cup of tea, a flamboyant Kingfisher, a Harpe, a vase, and a crossbow.
Represented by a precious sword and being the most high-paying symbol of a paytable, the wild symbol can substitute for all other symbols except the scattered shields.

Betting Options and Functions

This severe battle takes place on a standard set of five reels and three rows. Punters can hit their triumphant combinations on twenty-five fixed pay lines of this high-volatile https://lcb.org/news/editorials/10295-guide-to-understanding-slot-variance video slot.

A bit unusual for Evoplay Entertainment releases, a pretty modest range of stakes starts at €0.25 a spin and ends already at €100.

Features

Always desirable free spins and a bunch of random events – a nice collection of pearls to pay tribute to the larger-than-life historic fray.

The free spin feature is activated by striking three or more scattered Shields and the player is awarded 5 free rounds – a great start of the fight!

The cool thing is:

Collecting Shields throughout this mode results in additional free games and hell-roaring multipliers!

According to the rules, accumulating at least two scattered Shields will bring a second set of 5 free spins, with all Sword wins multiplied by 5x. Similarly, six or more scatter icons deliver the third series of 5 treats on the house, now with all triumphant combinations containing Swords multiplied by 25x.

Here we hit a sweet spot:

Because collecting twelve or more Shields brings the fourth series of 5 free rounds, this time at incredible 250x multiplier for all Sword wins!

To spice up the gameplay, this feature can be re-triggered. Whenever at least three Shields appear on the reels, 5 additional free games will be awarded.

What comes to the random events:

• Cleave Hit of the sword cuts 3 symbols from top to bottom and replace them by wild ones
• Savage Blow cuts 3 symbols diagonally and again, turn them into wilds
• Laceration Hit of the mighty Sword cuts 5 symbols from left to right in order to replace them with random and identical icons.
