Super Sumo

The sumo warriors have taken over the reels in the awesome fighting game Super Sumo, an epic five-reel slot produced by the team at Fantasma Gaming. With sumo power taking over the reels, the chance of respins and free spins come thick and fast. Duck and dodge the sumo blows, and see which of the fighters will prove lucky for you. This quirky Asian themed video slot game is available to play for free or for real cash at many of our top rated casinos.

How to play Super Sumo

With the rising sun in the background and five fun characters on the reels, Super Sumo is a fitting homage to the ancient Japanese sport of sumo wrestling. The soundtrack is reminiscent of retro arcade fighter games, but the graphics and animations are bang up to date. Character symbols are animated, adding lots of fun to each spin, and the colourful background changes to represent the base game and features.

The main symbols are the lower paying 10-J-Q-K-A set, and four sumo wrestlers - green, blue, red and purple. Each represents a different emotion, which they demonstrate when part of a win line. There are also yellow sumos, acting as wild symbols, and the Super Sumo logo which appears on reels 1, 3 and 5. This is the game’s bonus scatter symbol.

Respins

If two or more wild symbols land on the reels, players are granted a respin. The wilds become sticky, offering the chance to build bigger wins. If a new wild appears, it also sticks and another respin is awarded. This continues until no new wilds are available.

Free spins

Enter the free spins round with three bonus symbols. 10 spins are awarded (with the chance to retrigger if a further three bonus symbols land during play). For the duration of the free spins round, the wild sumo takes over one of the reels. This full stack can produce some huge wins, especially when more wilds are added into the mix!

Technical info

Super Sumo is a five reel slot with three rows of symbols. There are 25 paylines, with bets starting at 0.25 up to a maximum of 25.00. In line with other Fantasma five-reel slots, the RTP is 96.35%. This is a high volatility game, so expect lots of intensity, but the respin bonus triggers often so you should see some decent wins along the way.

Super Sumo has been optimised for mobile play, using HTML5 technology. It is compatible with Apple and Android tablets and smartphones, as well as Windows and Linux PCs. Play at home or on the go - all you need is an internet connection!

Summary

Despite the relatively simple gameplay and the familiar wild respin feature which appears in other Fantasma Games, Super Sumo is a fresh take on an old format. The quality of the graphics, the fun characters and the attention to detail in the theme make this online video slot stand out from other similar games - which is why it has stood the test of time and is still one of Fantasma’s most popular titles. The low maximum bet might put off high rollers but there is some good potential for big wins along the way, and the game is ideal for casual players who want something a little different.
