Play So Much Sushi for Free

Sushi is a quintessential Japanese staple and comfort food that has spread around the world quite rapidly in last two or three decades. From the corner shops in Japan to high-end restaurants in Paris, sushi is seen everywhere, and now, it’s about time someone brought the raw flavour (sorry, bad joke!) of sushi to gaming tables and spinning reels.

Microgaming, probably with the same thought in mind, has included So Much Sushi in their famed So Much and So Many slot series that emphasizes the basics of slot gaming, parting ways with heavy graphics and intricate gameplay.

The theme of sushi is very well executed here as the bronze-brown static wooden background creates a stunning platform. With the typical red and white of Japan making up the better part of the screen, the visual connotations are obvious, yet subtle.

Five reels of 3 rows each make up the gameplay major base, while 25 paylines (1x25) help you wager money on specific rows or reels.

The regular symbols of the game are Japan-themed cards from A to 10. Along with these, a special convoy of best sushi preparations will also honour your game screen with their sleek appearances and delightful colours.

Roe was found to be the highest paying regular symbol.

Symbols that split haven’t really taken over the slot universe just yet, even though it’s been more than 3 years since Microgaming first introduced it. Splitting symbols allow you to take a shot of the possibility of a much better combination than you already have. As it turns out, it’s not always the best option.

But more often than not, splitting symbols can significantly improve your winnings – especially if a high-paying premium symbol like roe splits up!

With wagers being limited to $100 per spin, it’s necessary to know that you need all the help you can get to turn pennies into piles. That’s why, the fact that as many as 25 symbols (after splitting) can combine to make bigger, better and grander combinations that obviously pay out much more comes as a relief.

So Much Sushi features only one wild symbol, and that is the game logo in itself. It can appear on all the reels, and can also act as a part-time multiplier, should you be lucky enough to land 3 of the wilds anywhere on the screen.

While substitution powers of a wild are good to have, it’s this multiplication power that really interests us, as it can readily change your nice winnings into seriously amazing winnings.

Do remember that wild symbols DO NOT sub/replace scatter or bonus symbols!

Regulars and wilds are great, no doubt. But if you want some loud ka-ching to hit your eardrums, you need to find scatters of this slots – and many of them together!

A Bottle of Sauce is that scatter here, and it can easily pay out much more than you would have anticipated, provided that you are consistently lucky. Three or more of these bottles ANYWHERE on the screen will automatically trigger a bonus round feature where you get to play a simple ‘choose or lose’ sort of gamble with 50:50 odds. Should you win, you stand to win 8 to 40 absolutely free spins!

The most likeable feature about So Much Sushi is that it takes an unexplored idea and turns it into a very entertaining slot.

While the fun and joy is definitely there, not having flexible paylines and having tight wager caps do sour the deal just a little bit.

But that’s fine by us – especially when even regular symbols cough up as many as 64,000 coins!

If you like the gameplay but not the theme microgaming have that covered also with the more mainstream sister game So Much Candy.
