This game, with its vibrant graphics and dynamic sound effects, immerses you in the world of traditional Japanese sumo wrestling. You're transported to a traditional Japanese sumo training school, which captures the vibe of this ancient sport. In the background you can see sumo wrestlers waiting for their turn in the competition as the crowds watch the matches. There are lanterns and vivid-coloured banners written in Japanese. When you switch to the Free Spins bonus round, you do so in a hail of beautiful Japanese fans. The Free Spins take place in a huge tournament in an auditorium filled to the brim with spectators.

The reels feature several of the HUGE sumo wrestler opponents, and the standard symbols are represented by weights, which seamlessly connects the theme with the headliner Target Weight feature.

The soundtrack features traditional Japanese music using drumming and string instruments. During the Free Spin bonus round, the fast-paced music suits the pace of play; it sounds (and feels) like a computer game. Sound effects include the loud thuds of sumo wrestlers colliding and triumphant music when winning combos land.

Here is a rundown of the symbols and their values:

• 10: 2 = 0.10, 3 = 0.20, 4 =0.30 and 5 = 0.60 x the bet
• 6, 7, 8 and 9: 3 = 0.20, 4 = 0.40 and 5 =0.50 x the bet

Sumo Supreme Megaways Mobile

Like all Pragmatic Play slot games, Sumo Supreme Megaways plays fantastically on mobile, whether you’re using Android or iOS. You can also play on a desktop or tablet for a great slots experience.

Sumo Supreme Megaways is crammed with bonus features to enjoy, which I'll explain below:

Target Weight feature

Each symbol (apart from the Scatter and Wild) has a random weight attached to it, There is a section at the bottom of the grid, and each symbol that lands there shows the random weight assigned to it. 

Next to the grid, there a box with a number on it, and the aim of the game is to get the total number of the symbols equal or above the target weight amount shown in the box. If this happens, the box opens, and you win a prize. Possible prizes are:

• Money award: A random amount of money is instantly awarded and values range between 0.35 x-500 x the total bet.

• Multiplier: A random multiplier that applies to all wins on that tumble and all possible money awards on the same tumble, the values range between x2 and x5.

• Expanding Wilds: Wild symbols are added to all positions on the reel above this box. 

After every tumble in the same spin, the target weight goes down by 1.

Tumble feature

Like most Megaways games there is a Tumble mechanic, which is sometimes called a cascade feature. When there is a win, the symbols disappear from the grid and new symbols tumble in from the top, giving you a possibility of another win.

Free Spins

Landing the Scatter symbol triggers the Free Spins bonus round. Landing 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 Scatters gives you 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 or 38 free spins, respectively. At the start of the round, a target weight is randomly determined, this target weight is used for the whole round. If you land 4 or more Scatters during the round, you retrigger the Free Spins feature and win 4 extra free spins.

Ante Bet

If you’re not UK-based, you can use the Ante Bet feature which offers you 25 x the bet. This means the chance of triggering the Free Spins feature is higher, as there are more Scatters on the reels

Buy Free Spins

Again for players who are outside of the UK. You can instantly trigger the Free Spins bonus round by buying it for 75 x the total bet. This means that 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or more Scatters will land.

This is a fantastic-looking Megaways game, with high-quality imagery, features and sounds which create an immersive experience whisking you off to a Japanese dojo.

The Target Weight feature was a standout and it was certainly something different. The goal is for the total weight to be equal to or above the target weight. And once this happens and the box opens up and reveals a prize, it’s exciting. This extra element was a big hit for me. Having a decent amount of free spins during the bonus round is always a plus. Although the bonus round moves at lightning speed!

There are so many Megaways slots nowadays but this one does stand out from the crowd. The mix of Tumbles, Free Spins and the Target Weight worked well together. Plus, the 117,649 paylines and a max win potential of 12,500x your stake are sure to please any slot player.

Pragmatic Play slots continues to prove why they are one of the top slot studios around. TIts games are not only easy to follow but also packed with originality. Sumo Supreme Megaways is a perfect example of this, with its well-integrated game elements creating a truly standout experience. This game definitely deserves a high score of 4.5 out of 5.
