Mighty Drums Slots
Mighty Drums slots is an Asian-themed slot with 5 reels and unlimited paylines. As long as you have three or more symbols on adjacent reels, you win. Their positioning is unimportant. Win up to 50,000 times your bet as you spin the reels and start winning cash.
The Game Design
The artistic flair of this game makes it stand out. Against the rich red background, there is a temple with 5 reels and 3 rows. As this is an all ways pays game, you can get a winning combination as long as matching symbols are on neighboring reels. This is where you need to consider what you want to bet. Prizes are based on how many Golden Symbols are activated.
Five symbols are shown on a scroll to the left of the reels. Click on those to activate one or all five Golden Symbols. The more you do, the more you can win as they are the key to the jackpots. If you don't have all five activated, the Grand Jackpot is unavailable to you.
- One Golden Symbol - No jackpots
- Two Golden Symbols - The Mini Jackpot
- Three Golden Symbols - The Mini and Minor Jackpots
- Four Golden Symbols - The Mini, Minor, and Major Jackpots
- Five Golden Symbols - All jackpots including the Grand Jackpot
How much extra does it cost to activate all five? The lowest bet with one Golden Symbol is 8 cents. It goes up by 10 or 20 cents bringing the lowest possible wager to 88 cents. The max bet ranges from 80 cents to $8.80, so we recommend wagering the max bet and seeing if you'll win one or all four jackpots as you play Mighty Drums.
The Paytable
The paytable is packed with symbols and prizes that range from a bare minimum to very generous ones.
- 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace - 5, 8, or 15x
- Golden Ingot - 8, 20, or 100x
- Ship - 5, 10, or 20x or Golden Ship - 10, 30, or 150x
- Frog - 5, 10, or 20x or Golden Frog - 20, 60, or 200x
- Fish - 5, 10, or 30x or Golden Fish- 50,80, or 300x
- Dragon - 5, 10, or 30x or Golden Dragon - 60, 100, or 600x
There's a Wild that is found on the second, third, and fourth reels. While it doesn't have a prize of its own, it can help form winning combinations. Mighty Drums also has a Coin Multiplier on the third reel that multiplies your payouts by up to 5x.
The Bonus Features
One symbol we didn't mention is the Drum. It's the scatter and pays 5, 10, or 50x. When you get three Drums, you win 12 free spins with the poker symbols removed from the reels.
The Jackpot Pick Feature is randomly triggered and changes to a new screen that has a dozen gold coins. Pick those coins until you find four matching God symbols. The God corresponds to one of the jackpots.
Our Game Rating
We cannot imagine playing this game and not activating all five Golden Symbols. It's the only way to randomly win the largest jackpot which at the time of this review was over $5,500.
As we always do when testing out a slot game, we placed the top bet of $8.80 and gave it 10 spins. Our second spin paid off with a 5x multiplier and a prize of $364. We won $6 in the fourth spin, $10 on the fifth, $1.80 on the seventh, $15 on the eighth, and $43 on the tenth. Mighty Drums was one of the most rewarding slots we've played.
