Looking at the phrase ‘Shah Mat’ it won’t come as a surprise that it’s the Persian for ‘checkmate’ and therefore a completely appropriate name for this chess-themed online slot from Red Tiger Gaming’ along with Red Tiger’s three progressive jackpots it comes with cascading reels, multiplier wilds and free spins.
Shah Mat plays out on the 8×8 grid shown above with a backdrop adorned by columns and black horses – it’s all very ornate with a nod towards Persian culture and regal luxury.
The five higher value symbols are of course chess pieces – the King, Queen, Bishop, Rook and Knight; pawns within playing card symbols make up the lower values. The ‘W’ shield is wild and the scatter is the Free Spins symbol.
Shah Mat Bonus Features
Collapsing Reels, Wild Multipliers and Large Symbols
All the regular symbols in a winning combo will disappear and let more fall in from above, potentially continuing the process; any wilds which land next to each other will combine to create a larger wild with a increased win multiplier (up to 20x). Large symbols (2×2, 3×3 or 4×4) can also land at any time to help out with those wins.
Free Spins
Landing at least three of the Free Spins scatter symbols anywhere in view will award twelve free spins with three more for each additional scatter; during this round every scatter which lands will award one extra free spins and all wilds which combine will award a win multiplier which applies to all wins, not just those to which it contributes.
Progressive Jackpot
This is triggered from the base game by landing three of the jackpot symbols which will award either the Super Jackpot shown to the left of the reels. There’s also a Daily Jackpot and an Hourly Jackpot which must pay out before the time shown.
Verdict
| Shah Mat could be the first chess-themed slot we’ve played and very enjoyable it is too; free spins, cluster gameplay mechanics, wild multipliers and progressive jackpots – what’s not to like? | |
