Yokuzuna Clash - Slot Review

Are you a big wrestling fan and can you still remember the legendary Rodney Agatupu Anoa, who was better known by his nickname Yokozuna and who regularly fought exciting fights with the Undertaker? Then you will find the entertaining one Slot "Yokozuna Clash" was sure to please. Because here the now deceased “Fleischberg” is once again in the center of the action. My following review will tell you whether the game is worth it.

Design

Yggdrasil gets its reputation as a creative Developers Studio once again fair and presents with "Yokozuna Clash" an extremely innovative slot that already has a lot to offer from a purely visual point of view. A classic block of rollers is used in the game, which is composed of 5 rollers on 3 rows. However, this is only part of a groovy wrestling match that is being fought here. To sum it up in a relatively simplified way: as soon as a profit is made on the playing field, it also contributes to a certain action in the fight. Which, of course, ideally should be won. I have not seen such a varied design of a slot playing field for a long time and I also really liked the beautiful presentation of the two fighters, their show stage and the individual symbols.

Gameplay

As with almost all slots, you have to spin at least three identical symbols in "Yokozuna Clash". A special feature of this game, however, is that the winnings are not only counted from left to right, but also from right to left. With a total of 243 ways to win. How high the win ultimately turns out depends on the twisted symbols. While you can safely forget the classic playing cards, as they only pay out minimal winnings, the animal symbols are much more interesting. The blue dragon and the green turtle are already making lucrative amounts. The most valuable symbol in the game, however, is the red dragon, which pays 12 times the stake for five symbols in a row.

Another special feature are the two wrestlers in the foreground. While the wrestler on the left randomly Wild symbols by stomping his feet on the ground, the right hand wrestler is able to inject 2x or 3x multipliers into the gameplay. In this way you can already secure attractive winnings in the main game. Which is by no means the case with every slot. However, it is much more interesting to unlock the free spins round of "Yokozuna Clash", since you can dust off a lot of money here thanks to other interesting features.

Free Spins Round

To start the free spins round of "Yokozuna Clash", the Free Spins symbol must land on both the 1st reel and the 5th reel. As soon as this has happened, the game switches to a special tournament mode in which the actual fight between the two wrestlers comes to the fore. The said tournament mode consists of a semi-final and a final and therefore promises a lot of excitement.

Before the tournament starts, the opponents are drawn first. On the left side, i.e. on the side of the player, this can be either Riku or Haru. The opponent on the right is either Daisuke or O'Conner. Which wrestlers play against each other is of enormous importance for the course of the game. Because each of the wrestlers has their own personal advantages. Riku can randomly distribute between 1 and 3 wilds in the semifinals. In the final there are between 2 and 4 wilds. Haru, on the other hand, can generate 2 to 4-fold multipliers in both rounds. Daisuke and O'Conner have the same advantages on the opposing side. O'Conner is responsible for the multipliers.

Duels between wrestlers

The actual duel between the opponents was implemented very intelligently. Whenever you as a player make a win from left to right on the field, your opponent will be pushed one step to the right. And thus in the best case out of the ring. However, if a winning combination is made from right to left, your opponent will push you one step to the left. You can always see what the current battle status looks like on a display below the playing field.

If you manage to push your opponent out of the ring, the exciting finale still awaits you. In it you will meet the legendary Yokozuna, who must be transported out of the ring in the same way. However, this is much more difficult. The iconic Fleischberg also offers a lot of chances to win, as it combines all the advantages and therefore both Wild symbols, as well as 2x to 4x multipliers. If you manage to defeat Yokozuna as well, your total winnings will be doubled. But even without a final victory, you can grab lots of attractive cash winnings in the free spins round. When luck is on your side.

Especially cool: If you want to continue playing after defeating Yokozuna, a 2-fold multiplier is used permanently, which only expires after the game has ended.

Stakes and maximum winnings

If you want to try out the varied "Yokozuna Clash" slot first, you can do so with a bet of just 10 cents. If, on the other hand, you want to risk a little more, you can also bet up to 125 euros per spin and in this way increase the chance of the maximum win of an impressive 430.000 euros enormously. Also at the payout ratio Yggdrasil does not show itself from the most economical side: It is a very good 96,3%.

My personal opinion:

Many developer studios advertise innovative and varied slots. But only a few slot machines actually offer such a unique gameplay as "Yokozuna Clash" by Yggdrasil. The idea of ​​upgrading the well-known slot system with the rotating reels through an exciting wrestling match is genius enough in itself. The fact that the said fight is also significantly influenced by the gains made from left to right and right to left is just pure excitement. In addition, "Yokozuna Clash" offers excellent chances of a big win in both the base game and the free spins round. Since Yggdrasil is neither stingy with wild symbols nor with multiple multipliers. Last but not least, the look of the nicely staged slot is also convincing. So I can only warmly recommend this entertaining game to you. Even if you don't really have anything to do with wrestling.
