The Orcs Return in Blade Master Slot
My father is a computer programmer. This meant that I was introduced to computers at a very early age. The first game I played was this DOS-based karate game. However, it wasn’t until my Pentium desktop and a copy of Warcraft that things got really interesting. I would wake up at the crack of dawn to get a few hours of gaming in before school in the morning, and in the afternoons, I would speed through my chores to get back to it. I have very fond memories of that game.
Blade Master slot from Hacksaw is not a licensed Warcraft property. However, as soon as I launched it, I got a flood of memories just like Anton Ego got when he took a bite of Remy’s ratatouille.
The home of the Orcs
The Blademaster feature can be triggered on any spin in the base game and during a round of free spins. When it is, between two and five wild multiplier symbols will appear on the reels. In the base game, wild multipliers can have a value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 10x. During a round of free spins, the sum of all wild multipliers will be equal to the total of the global multiplier.
The global multiplier feature is only active during a round of free spins. The global multiplier will have a base value of 2x and will be increased whenever a blue flag symbol appears on the reels. Blue flag symbols can add 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x to the global multiplier. The maximum value of the global multiplier is 50x.
A round of free spins is triggered with three, four, or five bonus symbols that will award 10, 12, and 14 free spins, respectively. During a round of free spins, a wild multiplier equal to the value of the global multiplier will appear on every spin except spins on which the Blademaster feature is triggered. When this happens, the global multiplier value will be split between two and five wild multipliers.
If you’re not keen on waiting around to trigger a round of free spins the old-fashioned way, you can select to purchase a round of free spins. Once purchased, you will receive 10, 12, or 14 free spins. There is only one purchase option, with the number of free spins you receive being up to chance.
Is Blade Master slot sharp as a razor or as blunt as a butter knife?
Blade Master slot has high volatility. This means that the gameplay will skew towards rare big wins and away from small, consistent wins. The slot’s 16,000x max multiplier will mean that when you are betting at the $15 a spin maximum, you’ll have a shot at up to $195,000 in winnings. The slot has an RTP of 96.29%.
I wanted more! The world of Blade Master slot hints at so much, but you are never given much more than a glimpse. The graphics that encompass the free spins feature are particularly disappointing. They could have set the feature in a hundred different interesting locations, but instead, they put you in a poorly lit cave with little to no interesting graphics. That is, however, mostly the nostalgia in me speaking. If I take away the connection to my days playing Warcraft, the slot has solid graphics and interesting bonus features. As a result, without my subjective tint, this one gets a seven out of ten.
If you’re looking for a few other interesting slots from Hacksaw, I recommend giving Immortal Desire and Dark Summoning.
