Eagle Shadow Fist

The Eagle Shadow Fist online slot, available at Realtime Gaming casinos, is based on an older action film that takes place in the Far East. A lot of different characters from the movie make their way to the reels, and the features are designed to give you opportunities to cash in with big multipliers on already large top payouts. The overall pay structure balanced a reasonable hit-rate with large top prizes to give players an overall style of play that's as exciting as the original movie was when it first came to the big screen.

Game Layout

The layout for this game features 25 paylines. It uses five vertical reels with three rows of symbols, and you an see the rain falling in the background on the village from the movie. Betting is set up so that you pick how much you want to wager on each payline, and then the total bet size is listed down below. We want to note that you can pick out how many paylines you want to play on, but it's best to keep this at 25 so that the RTP stays as high as possible. With line bet wagers available from $0.01 to $0.25 apiece, you can wager between $0.25 and $6.25 per turn. This maximum is definitely on the low side, but a lot of RTG titles use this level of a max bet, so it's not that surprising.

Wild Multiplier Symbol

The wild in this game is a fist coming through towards the screen with a red and gold background and border. This wild symbol is responsible for the largest regular jackpot, but it's also responsible for helping you to get extra pays. On top of that, whenever at least one wild shows up in a winning combo, the payout for that prize is doubled.

Five of a kind of this fist wild symbol on an activated payline pays out a tremendous win of 10,000x. You can make that 1,000x for four of a kind as well. Wins of 100x and 10x are yours for three of a kind or two of a kind, and all of these wins assume there is no better-paying combination available by using the wilds to substitute as another symbol. This means you get the best payout available on each line regardless.

Scatter Symbol Wins and Free Spins

The silhouette of two people fighting on a purple background with a silver and gray border is the scatter. Five of a kind is worth 200 times your total bet, and that's like getting a 5,000x line bet win. Pays of 20x, 2x and 1x are yours for four, three or two of the scatters anywhere on the grid of symbols, respectively.

Three of more of this scatter on the game board gives you a set of 20 free spins. A multiplier of 2x, 3x or 4x on all wins is given depending on how many scatters you use to trigger the feature (three, four or five, respectively). This is a smart way of handling the multipliers, and it gives this game a different feel than most on the feature side of things.

Character Payouts and Other Wins

Five characters make their way to the reels from the movie that this slot is named after. The man with the red band over his head pays 5,000x for five, and you can earn 2,500x for five of the man on the orange background with the sword. The young Jackie Chan in the green box pays 750x for five, and five of the older man with a straw hat will get you 500x. The same 500x prize is available for five of the woman on the purple background for five on an activated payline.

For the card rank symbols, there are just two tiers of pays. You can win 250x for five of the red A, yellow K or green Q. You can also pick up cool 100x wins for five of the purple J, blue 10 or teal 9 symbols.

Our Thoughts

The Eagle Shadow Fist slot by Realtime Gaming is a part of a series of games they put out based on older action movies that star Jackie Chan in secondary roles. This game also has a random progressive jackpot that starts at the $1,000 level, and while that adds a bit to the volatility, it also gives you another strong prize to win. This is a decent enough game in terms of being solid, but it doesn't really bring much to the gameplay side of things that's very new.
