Game Overview
Today, I’m going to come out swinging with a review of a new knockout slot from Evoplay. Titled The Belt of Champion slot, this online game is themed on the rough and tumble of MMA, or mixed martial arts for those that don’t know. Now, I’m not much of a fighter for one main reason: I don’t like pain. However, I like watching others hurt each other in the name of sport. So, if you’re of similar ilk, you’ll likely enjoy what The Belt of Champion offers. Stats-wise, it is a 5-reel and 30-payline slot with a 96.20% RTP and a maximum win of 3,200x bet.
When playing The Belt of Champion, it’s all about the wild symbol. Not just to help you create winning combinations but also to multiply your wins by up to 5x. It is also possible for a Wild Time feature to trigger randomly, and when it does, it can pile up to 20 random wilds onto the reels, again with the chance of having a 5x multiplier. Those wilds retake centre stage for the main free spins feature, where it’s possible to have as many as 200 random wilds participating in the bonus!
Are you the type to fight through the pain barrier, or are you more than likely to tap out after the merest of touches? Either way, it doesn’t matter, as luckily, this is just a slot game and not real life. So, why not test yourself in our very own virtual cage and enjoy a few spins on The Belt of Champion slot demo, it’s free to play below.
The Belt Of Champion Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
You rarely come across fight-themed slots, especially those with an MMA vibe. This is surprising considering the sport’s popularity and the fact that men make up a vast majority of online slot players. There are some slots with a fighting theme, such as Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior from NetEnt and Jili Games’ Boxing King. As for MMA-themed slots, The Cage slot from Nolimit City is one of my favourites, offering a top payout of 25,000x the stake, some fantastic bonus features, and a bonus buy.
Now for the combinations. No, not the one-two kind, the symbol kind. The Highlight FC Wild Symbol delivers the biggest payout of 7x the stake when five line up across a payline. Aside from that symbol, there are ten others made up of high-paying and low-paying symbols. The former are three fighters and two managers. The Red Fighter pays 5x, while the Green and Blue pay 3x. The Managers both pay 2x for a five-symbol combination, whilst all low-paying symbols pay 1x when five land across a payline.
You won’t need deep pockets to spin away on the real money version of The Belt of Champion, as the lowest you can play for is just €0.10. The maximum spin will depend on the casino, but in the free demo version, it is possible to wager up to €30,000.
The Belt Of Champion Slot Base Game
The Belt of Champions is a traditional payline affair played over 5-reels and 4-rows. The idea is to line up three or more matching symbols across the 30 fixed paylines. As standard, the combination must start from the leftmost reel and move along a payline on subsequent reels. When you land winning combinations, you receive the corresponding payouts in the paytable.
Random Multiplier Symbols
Wild symbols can land on any reels during the base game and in the free spins feature. These will substitute for all regular-paying symbols if they create or enhance a winning combination. Furthermore, these can hold multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x, which will be applied to the standard payouts of the symbols completing the winning combinations.
The Wild Time Feature
Triggered randomly, the Wild Time feature will add between 5 and 20 random wild symbols in positions above the reels. The reels continue spinning until all wilds are placed. If two or more wild symbols land in the same position, they become wild multipliers. Up to five wild symbols can land in the same position, resulting in 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x multipliers, respectively.
The Belt Of Champion Slot Bonus Features
If you’re lucky enough to land three or more free spin scatter symbols in any position on the reels, you’re awarded the Hit It bonus game and 10 free spins. The number of scatter symbols that triggered the feature will determine the potential number of random wilds you can have during the free spins round.
- Five Scatters – Between 80 and 200 Random Wild Symbols
- Four Scatters – Between 40 and 100 Random Wild Symbols
- Three Scatters – Between 20 and 50 Random Wild Symbols
Hit It Bonus Game
The Hit It bonus triggers before the free spin feature and is used to determine how many random wild symbols will participate in the free spins bonus. You pick three Hit It symbols of your choosing, with each revealing a number of random wilds. The three sums are added together to deliver the total number of random wilds for the free spins feature. How many scatters are used to trigger the free spins will determine the selections you can unearth.
- Five Scatter Symbols: 20, 40, 60, and 100
- Four Scatter Symbols: 10, 20, 30, and 50
- Three Scatter Symbols: 5, 10, 15, and 25
Free Spins Feature
With the number of random wild symbols determined, your free spins now take place. During the bonus, the Wild Time feature will trigger randomly, eventually using up all the wild symbols you were awarded before your spin count reaches zero.
Pros
- Up to 200 Random Wilds in the free spins feature massively increases winning potential.
- A slick slot that performs well across all devices.
Cons
- I feel The Belt of Champion is ideal for a bonus buy feature. Sadly, there isn't one.
- The maximum win could be higher.
The Belt Of Champion Slot Review Final Thoughts
Utilising a slot theme that is criminally underused was a great idea from Evoplay and one I'm sure their hardcore fans will appreciate playing. It can be a little frustrating at times when it stacks the wilds in the free spins feature and feels like it is wasting them, but if the game is in the mood and uses a large chunk of your wilds on one spin, it can result in a decent multiplier of the stake heading your way.
