Art of the Fist Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

With a 5x3 grid and 20 paylines, Art of the Fist is a conventional game with some nice visual tweaks and Maverick’s usual top-notch artwork and gameplay.

Featuring the nine to ace playing cards and four game-related symbols, you are on the lookout for the wilds to really unlock the potential of this game.

There is a standard wild to substitute for every symbol except the scatter. Next up is the multiplier wild featuring Chen the dojo master.

The expanding wild appears on reels two and four only. The Chinese character scatter symbol kicks its way into your game with up to 20 free spins that can retrigger.

We would definitely recommend understanding the Art of the Fist with a few demo play spins; what’s more, you can take this in-browser slot anywhere as a result of full HTML5 optimisation.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Maverick slots have a reputation for creating immersive narratives, and Art of the Fist doesn’t disappoint.

One of the greatest Kung Fu masters of all time, Bruce Lee popularised his martial arts philosophy as Jeet Kune Do or The Way of the Intercepting Fist.

With a one-inch punch clocked at 190km/h, Lee was renowned for his martial arts movies including Enter the Dragon and Fists of Fury. He was well known for his proficiency, with the lethal Nunchakus depicted on the reels.

Chen the dojo master is clearly a big fan of the master and this slot is a celebration of martial arts with its fists of fury and katana sword. The visuals are crisp and clean with a strong monochrome theme enlivened with splashes of red.

We seem to be in a hybrid dojo/nightclub where Master Chen entertains the audience with his kicks and fists. The soundtrack is an absolute blast with a pitch-perfect 70s vibe.

RTP & volatility

This medium volatility slot has a long-term theoretical RTP of 95.94 per cent. It is a great choice if you prefer a lower level of risk and reward than a high-volatility game.

Overall review: our verdict

Maverick slots have done another brilliant job with the spectacular Art of the Fist.

The combination of great gameplay and stunning sounds and visuals give this game huge replay-ability. Our only criticism would be that the free spins and biggest prizes are tough to land and are not that huge.

It is a quirky but beautifully realised theme, reminding us of the Flaming Fox slot that has a top prize of a massive 3,333x your stake.
