Shogun of Time from Microgaming

Shogun of Time Slot Combines Worlds

Shogun of Time is a brand new online slot that combines two very different worlds to create one uniquely exciting game. The two worlds we refer to are those of feudal Japan and a cyberpunk vision of the future, and whilst they might not sound like obvious bedfellows, in the context of this slot the unusual combination works like a dream.

This is a four-reel game which gives players 81 ways to win. The reels, which are set against the background of Neo Tokyo, are populated with a variety of symbols which evoke the essence of both cultures. Expect to see neon-lit playing card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A, along with samurai breastplates, cherry blossoms, lucky coins, traditional Japanese fans, and more.

Get three matching symbols on a pay line from left to right and you will win a cash prize. Get four matching symbols and you will trigger an impressive Reel Split Respin feature. When this feature is triggered, the four reels are split in half and a fifth reel introduced in the middle by a time-travelling shogun to give you an additional spin with 243 ways to win.

The cherry blossom symbol is a scatter, and if you get three or more of them on the reels at the same time when playing the main game, you will trigger a free spins round. This will give you up to 16 free spins, and to make things even more exciting – and potentially profitable – those spins will be on the five-reel version of the game, with 243 ways to win, paying both ways. The middle reel will be occupied by the Shogun of Time herself, who serves as a stacked wild throughout this free spins bonus round.

Created exclusively by Just For The Win for Microgaming, Shogun of Time is a gorgeously intuitive game that delivers eye-catching excitement and big-win potential in a uniquely satisfying manner.

‘We are incredibly excited to introduce players to the realms of Japan’s past and future in Shogun of Time, our latest title developed exclusively for Microgaming,’ said Johan Persson, who is Chief Executive Officer at Just For The Win.

‘Players exploring Neo Tokyo can expect a truly timeless adventure. A vibrantly colourful, cyberpunk art style is complemented by exciting mechanics that drastically increase the player’s chances of netting significant rewards. We can’t wait to see players leap into our new world, and experience a double life as a dazzling urbanite and a samurai.’

David Reynolds, who is Games Publisher at Microgaming, is equally enthusiastic about this new title. ‘Shogun of Time presents a winning combination of exciting gameplay mechanics and futuristic atmosphere,’ he said.

Just For The Win have delivered another excellent title exclusive to Microgaming, complete with dazzling visuals and an atmospheric, ambient soundtrack, blending traditional Japanese music with pulsating electronica. The rich dynamic features add an extra dimension to the time-travelling slot, transforming the base game and ramping up potential rewards. Pulling an additional reel through the time portal, the game-changing Reel Split Re-spin gives players a great chance to make epic wins, while those chasing free spins will be treated to a trip to Japan’s past, seeing the game transform completely into a five-reel slot with an amazing 243 winning ways and a fixed wild reel.

Shogun of Time is available to play at Dream Vegas and other venues on the Microgaming platform.
