Quick Shot Slot Machine
The latest new casino The game developed by WMS and Bally isn't quite a standalone title; rather, it introduces a fresh approach linking progressive jackpots to previously established games that will be making a comeback on the new WMS Twinstar cabinet. However, to highlight the 'Quickshot' feature, there's a new title called Duanwu designed specifically to showcase this innovative mechanic.
If you've tried any of the existing 'Fu' themed Asian slot games from WMS or Bally, like 88 Fortunes, the Good Fortune slot you'll be thrilled to know the beloved Fu babies are making a robust return in this game. They even pop up on the game’s control panel, adding a unique twist; Easter Egg they giggle when given a little nudge. Personally, I find them slightly unsettling, and the new mechanic could be perceived as a bit eerie, but that may just be my take!
Theme & Gameplay
Duanwu adheres closely to the familiar model of other contemporary WMS titles, Asian slot games boasting numerous shared features, with some symbols seemingly lifted directly from other slots, particularly the wild symbol of the magic lantern. The new cabinet impressively showcases the developer’s graphical prowess, delivering vibrant visuals in stunning high definition. While the audio has seen some enhancements, it would be refreshing to step away from the classic sound effects typical of casino slots, in my humble opinion.
Features
The main allure of this game, along with all future Quick Shot entries, lies in the exciting new progressive jackpot system. Although you can snag one of the five available jackpots through conventional means—landing three or more jade scatter icons—to achieve multiple jackpot wins, you'll need to line up specific combinations of five-of-a-kind symbols.
This is a game-changer, folks! WMS has completely revamped how slot games operate with this release. Rather than just five of a kind being the peak win for any symbol, these combinations now unlock access to one of the progressive jackpots. It’s easy to see that in a 5x3 reel setup like this, featuring no fewer than 50 winning lines, it suddenly becomes quite possible to land multiple jackpots in a single spin.
Summary
By shifting the emphasis away from classic symbol combinations to targeting jackpots directly, WMS is undeniably redefining the slot experience. This added variance and suspense is bound to attract high-stakes players, although casual gamers may not find this shift as appealing. Regardless, the innovative capabilities of the new cabinet are sure to shine, with the thrilling Zeus mobile slot game (In a fascinating twist to the usual game development process) set to be introduced as a land-based casino slot on Twinstar in the near future!
