Shah Mat Slot Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Shah Mat is a volatile Chess-inspired slot from Red Tiger, and it plays out on an 8x8 cluster pays engine grid. Cascading wins don’t remove wilds, and these tumble down and merge into multiplier wilds up to x20. The merging wilds increase the global multiplier in the bonus round, and super symbols up to 4x4 can land in all stages of the game. This is a highly volatile release, and you can win up to 4,323x your stake.

Shah Mat Review

We were immediately intrigued when we first laid eyes on Shah Mat. There aren’t all that many chess-themed slots out there overall, and none of them come close to this darkish, mysterious Persian-inspired 8x8 grid slot from Red Tiger. The arabic precursor to the modern chess game was called Shatranj, and ‘Shah Mat’ translates into “the king is frozen”, or simply “checkmate”, as we say in our culture.

With 64 symbols dropping down on the authentically sized chess board grid, there is plenty of room to create 30+ matching cluster wins for single spin payouts up to 80x your stake. The merging wilds will generate multipliers to boost your base game winnings, and contribute to the global multiplier in the bonus round. We were a bit worried up front if the Red Tiger math model would ruin things, but this is an overall solid release with no glaring deal-breakers sticking out anywhere.

Shah Mat Features

The Cascade feature is triggered whenever you land a winning cluster, and all winning symbols are removed from the grid. New and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps, and this can lead to indefinite extra wins per round. The Cascading Wins feature only ends when you land a non-winning cascade.

You can land larger versions of the premium symbols at any time, and these Super Symbols come in sizes of 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4.

Shah Mat Slot Gameplay

Wilds can also land Super Sized, and these step in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning clusters. Wilds that are used in a win are not removed like the regular symbols, and they will thus remain on the grid for the entire cascading sequence.

Landing at least 2 wilds in adjacent positions merges the symbols into a single 1x1 wild, and a multiplier equal to the number of merging wilds is attached to the symbol. More wilds can be added to the merged multiplier wild, and this can lead to a multiplier value up to x20 at the most.

You trigger the Bonus Round with 12, 15, 18 or 21 free spins, respectively, when you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters in the same spin sequence. Merging wilds in the bonus round increases the global win multiplier, instead of assigning multipliers to the merged wilds. The global multiplier applies to all wins, but it can only go as high as x20.

You get to see a lengthy cascade in the base game first, before we skip to the bonus round trigger at 1:11 into the 6 and a half minute highlights video. We got plenty of lengthy cascades and extra spins, and we also managed to max out the multiplier towards the end. See for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The visual presentation was a case of love at first sight for us, and we had our fingers crossed that the gameplay and math model wouldn’t disappoint either. Luckily, Red Tiger delivers on all fronts in Shah Mat. Going to the Persian roots of Chess adds a certain flavour of mystique to the somewhat trippy visual presentation, and lengthy cascades with merging wild multipliers are a joy to behold in the base game.

Even more so in the bonus round, of course, where the multiplier you rack up benefits all wins. The features might be on the simpler side for a grid slot, but they can certainly conspire to be highly effective when things go your way. There is an oddly satisfying quality to the overall gameplay, and while the 4,323x potential might not be exceptional, at least it’s solid enough to not ruin the otherwise excellent impression we have of this game.
