About Kaiju Castle

There are very strange things coming from Japan and the popular culture of the country in the East is probably the absolute richest in the world. Cartoons in the form of anime and manga are staples, completely screwed game shows, pop music that offers more show than just music, kawaii (everything that is super cute – compare Hello Kitty) – the list of unique phenomena that have been born in Japan and then spread over the world is very long.

Kaij Moderna Kaiju is one of the oldest modern Japanese cultural expressions. It started back in the 1950s when a variety of Japanese directors shot films with giant monsters in the lead roles. It was then, for example, that Godzilla entered the scene for the first time.

In Kaiju, the game developer has ELK Studios built a world in which man in the future will have to constantly tamp with giant monsters of the Godzilla type. It's not exactly a cheerful world and there are clear features of both Blade Runner and NetEnt's old slot Thief in the character. You and the Android girl HA-42 have now been tasked with strangling a total of three giant monsters. If you succeed, you can win up to over 130,000 coins or over 1,300 times the bet.

The game screen is transparent and in the background you will see parts of a futuristic city. The graphics couldn't be nicer or more detailed. You just have to like the theme itself. We have nothing but praise to say for the background music and sound effects. ELK Studios has tucked in a soundtrack that perfectly supports the game's dystopian theme.

Stakes and winnings

The game may sound a bit complicated, but fortunately it is not. It is easy to start playing and after a while you will probably also fully understand the unique special features.

In slots from ELK Studios, you usually only have to choose the total bet. That's exactly what you should do in Kaiju as well. You play for between 2-1000$ per spin and if you want you can use ELK studio's patented betting strategies. Autoplay can also be selected. To select autoplay, hold down the spin button for a few seconds.

According to the rules of the game, the maximum win on the game is as much as 130,440 coins. That's as much as 1305 times the stake. It is in the free spins round with its 7776 possible Win ways that you can play home the biggest wins. However, winning big is not easy – it's actually not that easy to win at all. In the base game, you also get paid quite sparingly even for extensive winning combinations. Kaiju has a high volatility which you probably notice pretty quickly. Kaiju RTP is 96.30% over time.

Symbols

The winning symbols in Kaiju are six in number. It is certainly not very much, but the small number does not make it easier to win. Three of the symbols pay relatively high on winning hits. It is about red, blue and green $ istalls, respectively. These colors reflect the colors of the three monsters, but more about the beasts below!

The symbols that bring a little less winnings are in the form of digital cards. Probably, they should imagine cards with credits from the future. Little interesting is that the difference between hitting three, four or five consecutively with a symbol is very small. A hit with five symbols gives on average only twice as much as a hit with three symbols.

Game features

Kaiju offers a palette of special features that can be said to be truly unique. You have several types of wilds to activate and a free spins bonus which gives successively more ways to win while you can also win sticky wilds, and more. Try it out for free in our demo version above to get the hang of the special features! Here below is a small brief summary of them.

Jokers

You won't find any wilds on the reels of Kaiju. Instead, they should generated by hitting different winning combinations of vertically connected symbols of the same kind. For example, if you get a red$istall on the first position of each line, a wild will appear above the first reel. This wild will act both as a regular substitute symbol and as an individual symbol on a fourth line (= more paylines). You can of course get several wilds on the reels in one spin.

HA-42 scatters

Your companion in the dystopian city, the Android HA-42, is the scatter symbol in the game. She spins on reels 2-4 and if she appears on all three reels when they stop, you win free spins. The number you get to play is exactly 7 pieces.

Free spins

The Kaiju free spins bonus is a very unique story. This is where you get to tamper with the giant monsters and to your aid you have no less than three delicious bonuses.

When you start playing your seven free spins, one of the monsters will appear on the screen. The monster shows a random pattern that will act as a hot spot . You also activate the following features that may appear randomly:

• Reel Expansion - each reel can be built on with a wild. The function is the same as in the base game, but here in the free spins round the Joker also becomes ”sticky”. It simply stays on its position during the following spins.
• Hotspot Activation - if you dot the current Monster's hotspot, all symbols in the pattern will become wilds.
• Sticky wilds-if you activate all hotspots, all vertically interconnected wilds become sticky.

Summary

Kaiju is a highly volatile slot that can give you big wins if you have the patience to wait. The game can at times feel completely impossible and it can be a bit annoying that the winnings in the base game are normally very modest. It is simply that the bonus round is activated from time to time so that the game does not have its own. However, a successful hit in the free spins round can also cause the game box to explode.

However, whether you should play on Kaiju or not is mainly about whether you like the theme. It is clearly special and it probably does not suit everyone. However, the presentation is absolutely masterful. ELK Studios has undoubtedly put a lot of effort into making every detail perfect.

Finally, we should just say that there is also another slot online with about the same theme. It's about Microgaming's slot King of Kaiju: Rampage Riches. Make sure you choose the right slot when you look into your favorite casino!
