Introduction

This addition to our Noble Gaming free slots deals with the noble martial art of Muay Boran. Traditional card symbols sit alongside the boxer’s limbs as they ready to fight in this 5-reel game. It’s always exciting to have 243 ways to win and that’s before we get to the layers available in the thrilling free games round.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

You may have heard of Muay Thai, also called Thai Boxing. It’s known as 'the art of eight limbs' because as well as fists and feet, you also use knees and elbows for close and intense combat. It also appears in the exciting Muay Thai slot. Muay Boran, originally called Toi Muay, is a catch-all term for Thailand’s ancient, unarmed martial arts before more modern developments led to their rules becoming more codified. That makes it an ancestor of Muay Thai.

As a slot, Muay Boran emphasises the close nature of the sport by zooming in on individual limbs. You can see sharp elbows and raised knees and flexed feet, with glimpses of the traditional garb. You can also see fighter’s head in profile, adding character. The blue background it etched with the silhouettes of duelling men locked in combat, giving the sense of strength and movement. The fairly energetic and Asian styled music also helps with the immersion.

Muay Boran RTP and Variance

Now, a big part of the reason we love slots so much is that they’re unpredictable. You never know which spin will bring you a big win and which will end in disappointment. That said, it is helpful to have a general idea of how returns tend to average out and their likely frequency. You can set realistic expectations, and a budget with sensible limits. You’ll be glad to hear Muay Boran offers a higher than average RTP of 96.07%. There’s no official variance though, meaning the best way to familiarise yourself with the game is to try it out among our free play slots.

How to Play Muay Boran

Are you ready to step into the ring?

1. For the most thorough guide to the game, the best place to go is the menu button on the top right, which in turn will lead you to the info button. Here you’ll find the paytable and instructions on bonus features. More game help is behind the question mark at the bottom.
2. The menu also causes the settings gear to appear on the left. Adjust the volume, keyboard controls and number of spins for autoplay.
3. Next you need to ensure you set your bet to an appropriate level before you start. Too high and the risk becomes untenable, too low and you’re not going to find those big wins. Strike the balance that best suits your budget and temperament by clicking on the stack of coins symbol.
4. Clicking once will move your wager up one level at a time, but holding it down will send you straight to the max bet. Make sure you’re sure before you do this, as the reels will also automatically spin when you pick this option.
5. Your bet is displayed at the bottom of the screen along with your coin value and total balance. Keep an eye on them all so you don’t end up chasing losses and your game as a whole stays responsible and under control.
6. There are two options when it comes to how you spin. You can just click the spin button on the right once. The reels will turn once, then you can review your settings and any wins. You stay in complete control.
7. Alternatively, you can hold the spin button down to trigger autoplay. If you’re on unlimited mode iIt’ll just keep spinning until you hit stop. It’s more convenient, but it also makes it harder to stick to your loss and single win limits.

Take regular breaks and when the fun stops, stop.
