Shah Mat Slots

Battle it out for the win on this magical chessboard, where daring and strategy wins you the prize. Do you wish to sit with kings and queens amidst a golden throne room? Do you look for glory and adventure? Put your mind to the test and make your move for the chance to unlock Wilds and Super Symbols. When two or more WILD symbols land adjacent to each other they will merge into a single WILD symbol with a multiplier. The new total WILD multiplier will be the sum of the multipliers of the merged WILDS, this can increase up to a maximum of 20x. All high-paying symbols have 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 Super Symbol variations. This is the game of a lifetime - and your mind is your greatest asset! Play the game and topple the king.

Shah Mat uses a conventional bunch of features to produce larger wins, such as cascades, wild multipliers, Super Symbols, and free spins. When winning clusters land they trigger the cascade feature - winning symbols are removed, and existing symbols fall into the spaces. Chaining together repeat wins is possible using this system, ending when no new wins hit. Then, the next spin can take place.

Super Symbols land anytime at random in 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 in size. High paying symbols can be Super Symbols, and so can wilds. Wilds land in all positions, replacing any pay symbol to complete clusters. When wilds are used in a win, they are not removed by the cascade feature but remain on the grid. If 2 or more wilds land adjacent to each other, they merge into a single wild symbol with a multiplier based on how many symbols merged. New wilds can merge with multiplier wilds, creating values as high as x20.

One more symbol is used in Shah Mat; this is the scatter. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 of them in a spin sequence awards 12, 15, 18, or 21 free spins. What changes in free spins is when wilds merge, they increase a global multiplier that applies to all wins, not just those wilds are part of. As before, the global multiplier maxes out at x20. Each scatter symbol landing during the feature awards +1 free spin. If you dig around for other chess-themed slots, there are a bunch of old ones that essentially use chess pieces as symbols. Nothing as cleverly designed as Shah Mat. It seems like the producers of Shah Mat were chess fanatics who didn't want to just put pieces up on the reels but pay a real homage to the board game and its origins. Perhaps this isn't the case. Perhaps this is just a regular shiny Red Tiger release, though Shah Mat is so well executed you want to believe passion was poured into its design.
