Shaolin Legend - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Shaolin Legend review

Shaolin Legend from KA Gaming is a slots title based on one of the most respected and revered martial arts traditions in the world, developed by the monks of the Shaolin Temple. 

It has five reels, three rows, and 20 fixed paylines. As you would expect, the player has to match winning symbols - such as Shaolin warriors, meditating monks, and ancient artefacts - to win on the reels. Bonuses can be won by looking out for the scatter and wild symbols. 

In the base game, the reels may sync randomly; in the free spins mode, reels two, three and four always spin in sync. Symbols with Shaolin monks can act as a win multiplier and increase your total win.

Graphics and soundtrack

Vibrant colours

This slot game is bright and colourful. Although its design is simple, it manages to evoke the mysticism of the Shaolin warrior. We are treated to larger characters displaying martial arts moves as the reels come to rest, with the meditating monk wearing a golden crown looking particularly impressive as the wild symbol. 

The background depicts an ancient Buddhist temple to set the scene. This theme is well-used and well-loved in many online casinos and slots.

Seamless gameplay

The reels and other animations run smoothly and seamlessly throughout, but you may find the graphics a little old-fashioned and basic. Chinese music is used well to add atmosphere to the game; what’s more, a variety of more lively sound effects are used to herald free spins and wins. 

Shaolin Legend RTP & volatility 

Shaolin Legend has an RTP of 94 per cent, which is well below the average of 96 per cent for similar slots. Specific volatility data is unavailable at the time of writing this review; however, we landed low-value wins relatively frequently.

How to play Shaolin Legend slot

We love to explore new online slots titles and it can certainly help to have some hints and tips to quickly get to grips with a game and enjoy all it has to offer. As part of our Shaolin Legend review, this guide should provide everything you need to know when you try Shaolin Legend for yourself and enable you to make the most of Shaolin Legend bonus features.

1. The paytable information is always a good place to start, which you can find in the lower right-hand corner of the reels and clicking the information icon. You will see the payout potential for the winning combination on the reels, with the in-game rules found in the same place.
2. Now you have the basic information you need, you are ready to choose your bet by clicking the 'new bet' icon towards the bottom of the screen. The bet menu will now pop up, clearly displaying a range of options from which to choose. If you prefer to head straight for the highest available bet, choose the ‘max bet’ button.
3. When you have chosen your bet, you are ready to roll. The familiar base gameplay allows you to spin the reels simply by clicking the gold-coloured button just below the third reel.
4. If you prefer to choose autospin, use the same spin button but hold it down. Using this feature, you can sit back and relax while up to 200 spins, or even an infinite number, run without further interaction.
5. Always play Shaolin Legend responsibly. Be careful if you choose the infinite autospin function, as this could lead you to overspend. Never chase losses and make sure you set a sensible and affordable budget for every play session. When the fun stops, stop playing.
6. Remember that you can use the excellent demo mode to play for free right here at Slots Temple. Timeout and self-exclusion functions are also available.

Shaolin Legend review: our verdict

A fun and easy-to-play slot, Shaolin Legend asks you to change your life by choosing to follow the path of a Shaolin monk. While this slot game may not actually change your life, it will certainly provide good entertainment. The payouts in this game may be on the low side but the sync reel feature can give your max win a real boost.
