Yokozuna Clash™ is a 5 reels, 3 rows Yggdrasil slot with 243 ways to win. There are no winning lines but combinations of 3 or more identical symbols and either from the left or the right you can get wins! There are 4 strong and 4 weak symbols, a wild symbol that will substitute all regular symbols and a free spins symbol that will only appear on reels 1 and 5 in the main game.

In the city of Yokozuna the sumo wrestling tournament is eagerly awaited. This year, as in previous years, there are participants from all over the world as it is a very expensive tournament. And as usual the sumo winner for countless years is Yokozuna (his mother named him after his village), and he was going straight to the final.

All the sumo wrestlers wanted revenge from the previous year, especially O'Connell who had lost to Yokozuna in the final. There were also the brothers Riku and Haru (the blue and green sumo wrestlers from Yokozuna Clash™) and Daisure who came this year very fit and very prepared. They were all overexcited and the atmosphere was very electric!

The first fights are very easy for our sumo friends but the most difficult one is not long in coming. Riku and Haru have to fight... Not easy because the forces are very equal but finally it is Riku who takes the upper hand and leaving Haru in his disappointment shows his joy and his rage to win to the public.

But this joy will soon be tarnished as he has to fight O'Connell who will leave him off the mat very quickly and end his dream of reaching the final to fight the champion. What O'Connell didn't know was that he would be eliminated by Daisure before he got to the final.

And here comes the long awaited fight: Yokozona vs Daisure (two other sumo wrestlers from the Yokozuna Clash™)! It's not going to be an easy fight as the two sumos are almost equal in strength. But after a while Yokozuna flinches and Daisure sends him off the mat and proclaims himself the new tournament champion!

Yokozuna Clash™ features and game mechanics.

The tournaments feature will trigger when 2 free spins symbols land on the reels. When the free spins are activated a sumo from the base game is chosen to fight in one of two free spins sumo tournaments. There is no set amount of free spins but a gauge to measure power.

Whenever there are winning combinations from the left only, the power gauge will increase by 2. When there are wins from the right only the gauge will increase to the left by 3 or 4 positions and the sumo free spins will reward an additional feature.

The payouts for this feature will be rewarded only after the chosen extra feature is played. When there are 2 or more winning combinations and one of them starts on the left and the other on the right then there will be a tie and no more extra features will be triggered from the sumo free spins.

When the power gauge is moved all the way to the left the free spins will end but if it is moved to the right the player advances to the semi-final of the Yokozuna fight. Beating Yokozuna will reward an extra x2 in free spins multipliers.

Sumo Riku, in blue, will randomly award 1 to 2 wilds on reels 2, 3 or 4 in the main game or 1 to 3 wilds in the free spins semi-final and 2 to 4 wilds in the free spins final. His moves increase the power gauge to the right by 2 bars in the free spins.

Haru sumo, in green, randomly awards a x2 to x3 multiplier in the base game or a x2 to x4 multiplier in the free spins tournament. His moves move the gauge 2 bars to the right in the free rounds.

O'Conner Sumo, the Scot, has shots that move the gauge 3 bars to the left in the free spins and will award a free spin multiplier of x2 to x4 when he pushes the gauge to the left. Daisuke sumo, the buffalo sumo, has moves that move the power gauge 3 bars to the left in free spins and rewards 1-3 wilds in spins when he pushes the gauge left.

The sumo Yokozuna, the demon, will only be available after defeating in the first free spins tournament. He will randomly reward x2 to x4 multiplier when he pushes the gauge to the left and his moves move the power gauge 4 bars to the left.

In a 5-of-a-kind win, 5 symbols of the same kind, the sumos will collide and can win from 2 to 4 extra symbols of the same kind. The extra symbols won will not land on the winning symbols or wilds.

If 2 or more 5-of-a-kind symbols appear, only the highest symbol will award extra symbols. The sumo clash feature will only be available in the free spins and 5-of-a-kind wins will be paid out once.

Yokozuna Clash™ slot machine review.

You arrive and are immediately immersed in the atmosphere. A sumo tournament takes place in the middle of the interface with the invisible reels in the background but the symbols are clearly visible. When there are wins you see the audience cheering and moving their arms, otherwise everything is in motion and looks very real. We see how the sumo wrestlers breathe, the moves are really well done!

It's true that we're talking about Yggdrasil software, the graphics are impressive and very well done and we're immersed in the game from the start. It's not for nothing that the Swedish giant is among the best in the world! It's not a traditional slot machine but it feels like a virtual game, there are no reels as such but rather a scene where the fights take place and behind the spinning symbols.

There aren't many features, we're talking free spins, wilds and free spins multipliers, but the fights add to the atmosphere and change the video slot concept a bit. The result is that we avoid falling into monotony and this is really very successful! There are no winning lines, but 243 ways to win, which increases your chances of winning considerably.

The coin values range from £0.004 to £5 which gives us bets from £0.10 to £125. There is a lot of choice in betting which is great because you start with £0.10 per spin. This allows a lot of players to participate as the starting stake is quite low, and for those who prefer to bet a little more the maximum stake is £125 which is not bad either.

The Yokozuna Clash™ cash game has a return to player of 96.3% which is not bad, it's still average, and the volatility is average. The wait to get the free spins and fights is not overdone so it's good for the player who doesn't have exacerbated patience. But even if I played for a while I couldn't get past the semi-finals, which is a shame.

The game lacks features, jackpot, but in fact its originality makes that one does not pay too much attention to it, one prefers to focus on the fights. We can also enjoy the Yokozuna Clash™ game on all possible platforms and devices which allows us to take it anywhere. Moreover, the free video slot is in 27 languages so that a large audience will have the explanations in their native language and this is very important.
