Gameplay

This game has 5 reels, 3 rows (5x3 grid), and 243 ways to win. Wins happen when matching symbols appear in adjacent reels. Mighty Drums has an all-ways-pays format, meaning wins can start in the first (leftmost) or fifth (rightmost) reels. All ways pays isn't a common format, making Mighty Drums somewhat unique among online slots.

Graphics & Setting

Gold trim and a pagoda roof frame the outside of the reels. A treasure hoard filled with gold coins and jewels sits atop of the pagoda roof. The music is a traditional Chinese beat that adds a little something to the atmosphere. You'll also see progressive jackpot values and "gods" on the right side of the screen.

Win Potential & Payouts

Mighty Drums features 15 symbols beginning with five low-paying royals (A-9). Next up are a ship, blue koi fish, red dragon, and a green lizard. The high pays consist of a golden ship, gold lizard, gold dragon, and gold koi fish. The gold dragon pays the most among these symbols at 600x the line bet for five matches. Other symbols include a wild (reels 2, 3, 4), scatter, and multiplier. As for win potential, the maximum win is 50,000x the line bet when considering features.

Mighty Drums Slots Features

This slot has multiple features, ranging from multipliers to free spins. Here's a closer look at everything you can expect in Mighty Drums:

• Multiplier symbol - Appears on reel 3 and substitutes for all symbols except wilds and scatters. The multiplier will multiply all wins that it helps form by up to 5x.
• Free spins - You trigger free games by getting 3+ scatters anywhere on the reels. This bonus doesn't feature royals (A-9), thus boosting your chances at bigger payouts.
• Jackpot Pick - This bonus round displays 12 gold coins. You select the coins to reveal god symbols until choosing four identical gods. You'll collect the jackpot (Grand, Major, Minor, Mini) associated with that god. The Grand progressive jackpot is currently worth over $6,000 at the time of our review.
• Golden symbols - As covered in the payouts section, some symbols have a regular and golden version. More gold symbols boost your chances of getting bigger payouts and bonuses.

Betting Options

Mighty Drums has a tight betting range running from $0.88 to $8.88. By comparison, the vast majority of online slots have a much larger max bet than $8.88. You'll activate 243 ways to win regardless of your chosen wager size. The autoplay option keeps the reels automatically spinning for between 5 and 100 spins. You can also pick an infinity mode that auto spins the reels until you either stop it or run out of money.
