Wushu Punch Slot Review
I’ve trained in a bunch of martial art styles in my time. Systema in particular, was rough, man. They used to beat us with Cossack riding crops or have us stand in the middle of the dojo and wail on us with fists, sticks, or anything that came to hand, and we weren’t allowed to retaliate.
Apparently, it’s so that you can learn to control pain and calm your mind when under the stress of an attack, but it left me with a costly S&M addiction so thanks for that, guys.
I reckon I should’ve rather opted for Wushu, which you’ve probably seen Jet Li perform in his action-packed movies. I’m sure it would’ve been easier on my body parts. And my wallet.
This Kung Fu style also happens to be the theme of our next game – Wushu Punch slot – from Playtech. Kiiiii-aiiiiii!
Gameplay
Click on this game and you’ll be on the streets in an Asian city, amidst glowing neon signs and a downpour. You’ll see that there are Jackpot elements above the classic 5x3-reel grid, but I’ll get into more detail about that a bit later.
Regarding the symbols, the highest-paying one is the babe in black, followed by the dude on an MX bike, the nunchakus, and lastly the I Ching coins. Check out the controls – you’ll be able to toggle the speed of your spins by 3 degrees to suit your playing style.
The action plays out across 25 fixed paylines and the game’s RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 95.99%, which ain’t bad at all. We’ve got ourselves a medium to high volatility rate, and a max win worth €176,150.
It’s quite possible to play this game in portrait mode on a mobile phone, and that’s thanks to the crisp design. Look, the grid will be small in this format, so I would suggest flipping your phone on its side, but that’s your call.
The last thing I need to mention is that this game only accepts fiat. Sorry, crypto guys.
Features
Let’s talk about the Wild for a sec. It comes to us in the form of a dragon’s claw clutching an emerald and this symbol replaces all others except the Yin Yang, red-framed Woman, and Gold-framed Woman symbols. Oh, and Wilds only appear on reels 2 – 4.
YIN YANG SYMBOL:
Land 3 or more of these black-and-white beauties and you’ll initiate the Free Spins round. And they also pay: 5 symbols = €250, 4 = €50, while 3 symbols = €5.
FREE SPINS ROUND:
The Free Spins round plays out on a different stage, which is more traditional, with dragons entwined around pillars to either side of the grid.
You’ll start the round off with 10 Free Spins, which you can re-trigger if you pull in an additional 3 Yin Yang symbols. All the lesser symbols will be removed at the start of this round, and the Strike and Spin feature can be awarded during Free Spins.
STRIKE AND SPIN FEATURE:
All it takes to set off this feature is a combination of Gold-framed Woman and Red-framed Woman symbols on all 5 reels.
These triggering symbols will reveal a random prize when you begin, and those will be added to the respective meter at the bottom of each reel, as well as to the one above the grid.
You’ll be gifted 3 re-spins when the feature commences. While you’re using these, you’ll notice that the only symbol that’s active is the stacked (in other words, filling the reel – not what you’re thinking!) Gold-framed Woman.
If she lands on a reel now, and fills all the spots on that reel, the entire lot of 5 prizes shown at the bottom of the reels will be added to that “tally meter” above the grid.
After our Stacked lady friend lands on a reel during a re-spin, she’ll reset the counter to 3 and her symbol will become sticky.
If you’re super lucky and this sexy symbol lands on all 5 reels, you’ll be awarded 3 special Re-spins. That means only the middle reel will revolve.
If your karma is seriously paid up, and you land the Gold-framed Woman while this special round is happening, the Grand prize worth 2,000x your total bet, is yours!
RED-FRAMED AND GOLD-FRAMED WOMAN:
Any combo of 3 of these symbols, in any position on adjacent reels, will see you gifted with a random prize.
This can happen during both the base game and the Free Spins round, and the prize is given for each of the first 3 reels. Any combo of 4 Women does the same as the above, but now the results are applied to 4 reels.
A reel with a Red-framed Woman offers prizes that range from 1x to 8x your total bet. A reel with a Gold-framed Woman, though, sees the prizes increase to 10x, 15x, 20x (Mini Jackpot), 100x (Minor Jackpot), and 500x (Major Jackpot).
Performance
Just like Jet Li’s whirring fists, the reels spun mercilessly through the many hundreds of rounds I asked of this game. And the result? Perfection, grasshopper.
Maximum Win
Does Wushu Punch slot pack a wallop? You bet your sweet ass it does. There’s a max win worth €176,150 – just land the 3,523x multiplier at a maximum bet of €50 and you’re golden.
Conclusion
It’s a “yes” from me. I like the look of this game (which is unique among a sea of same-same), I like the features – which are also unique, many, and varied – and you can make some decent cash on this game. That’s a pretty damn fine combo in my books.
