Play Quick Shot for Free

Duanwu follows a very similar pattern to the other modern WMS Asian slot games and shares many of the same features, indeed some of the icons appear to be have been copied straight from other slots for use in this game, especially the magic lantern wild symbol. The new cabinet does show off the developer’s graphic skills very well and it’s stunningly vibrant in high definition. The audio is a little improved though they do need to move away from the classic casino slots sound effects in our humble slot player opinion.

The big draw of this game and all future Quick Shot games to follow is the new progressive jackpot mechanic. Whilst you can win one of the five jackpots on offer in a standard way, with three or more of the jade scatter icons, to rack up multiple jackpot wins you will need to put together specific five of a kind symbol combinations.

You heard it here first – WMS have completely changed how a slot game works on this title, instead of 5 of a kind being the biggest win for any given symbol, these combinations now unlock one of the progressive jackpots. The astute will immediately realise, that on a 5x3 reel game like this, with no less than 50 pay-lines, its suddenly feasible for many jackpots to be rewarded on the same spin.

By shifting the focus away from traditional symbol wins and focusing purely on trying to hit jackpots, albeit with a much bigger hit ratio, WMS are definitely breaking the mould. The extra variance and anticipation will definitely appeal to higher stakes game players, we just aren’t sure the casual gamer will be so enthusiastic. Either way the development of the new cabinet won’t be wasted, as the exciting Zeus mobile slot game (In an interesting reverse of normal game development) is going to be released as a land based casino slot on Twinstar at some point very soon!
