terracotta army slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Regarding slots themed around the Far East, I tend to prefer the ones with a Japanese or Korean vibe to them rather than those based around China. I’m not sure why that is, but I almost feel the developers are letting the Middle Kingdom down much of the time! Take Relax Gaming’s Tsai Shen Dream Drop, for example – the Dream Drop franchise is packed with fantastic slots, yet Tsai Shen was a definite misfire for an otherwise reliable software house. Let’s not even get started on all of those weird Mahjong-inspired slots such as Mahjong Jinpai either – they might be fun if you understand and enjoy Mahjong, but the mechanics of that machine are so bizarre that it’s not even a real slot in many aspects.

Whenever you have a slot machine with tens of thousands of payways, you can be near-certain of disappointing numbers on the paytable. Games such as Terracotta Army rely on you winning on huge numbers of payways simultaneously rather than single line hits, so don’t read too much into the fact that the highest-paying red character symbol has a maximum payout of 5x the total bet for a complete payway of five of a kind. The purple character drops this to 4x for all five symbols, followed by 3x for the blue and 2.5x for the green fellow. The low-paying symbols feature animal-inspired insignia, and their colours and values follow the same pattern as the high-paying symbols. This makes the red symbols the most valuable, with a 2x return for a full payway, whilst the purple, blue, and green insignia have maximum payouts of 1.5x, 1.5x, and 1x the current stake, respectively. 

The range of available bets is large enough to satisfy every player I know, with minimum/maximum permitted stakes of €0.20 and €100.00 per spin, respectively. The issue, as is often the case nowadays, is Blue Guru’s insistence on imposing arbitrary limitations on exactly how much you can bet. There are only nine possible values despite the top bet being 500x larger than the minimum. There’s no good reason for such restrictive staking options, and I wish this trend would disappear from contemporary slot releases.

At first glance, Terracotta Army appears just like the majority of other traditional video slots – there are five reels of three rows each, so how do we end up with 39,375 possible payways? It’s all related to the unique mystery symbols that Blue Guru has added to all five reels, but the payout mechanics still require you to land at least three matching symbols starting from the left to win yourself a prize.

terracotta army slot bonus features

Scatter symbols can land anywhere in the Terracotta Army slot, but you’ll need at least three of them to trigger the main bonus round. Each triggering scatter symbol will award either an additional free spin or if you are lucky, a sticky mystery symbol which will be locked in place from the very beginning of your feature. Depending on what your scatter symbols reveal, you can potentially win up to nine free spins with five sticky mystery symbols.
