Playing Shaolin Master begins with setting the wagering cost. This is something you pay per spin. Use the + and – buttons next to the spin button to increase and decrease the size of your betting wager. Prices begin at $0.10 and rise to a max bet of $100. With your bet in place, you can press the spin button to start the game.
The Cascade mechanism removes the standard format of spinning reels. Instead, the symbols drop off the reels, and new ones drop in. Winning by this format comes by producing matching clusters of symbols of five or more. The larger the cluster, the bigger the payout.
The Cascade feature comes into its own when you land wins. Winning symbols get plucked from the grid, while those above them drop into the vacated space. New symbols enter the slot to complete the grid and potentially generate new winning clusters. If this is the case, the process Cascade process repeats until no new win form.
Special symbols can land, which then activate in-play features and bonus rounds. But the general base game is a process of playing ‘spins’ and holding out for wins during the inevitable losses.
