Sumo Sumo Slot

Sumo Sumo is an online slot game that was developed and released by ELK Studios in 2022. This game features an interesting theme centred around the Japanese form of wrestling known as Sumo. Sumo Sumo pulls inspiration from this sport, incorporating related imagery into its symbol designs. On top of this, Sumo Sumo includes a number of interesting bonus features which allow it to stand out from other games at BOYLE Casino, including a unique Sumo brawl feature which sees a stack of sumo wrestlers fight each other on the reels.

Sumo Sumo Game Background

Sumo Sumo takes place in the streets of Japan, with shops lining either side of the screen. The streets are dark, however, and the shutters are closed, with graffiti drawn over them, and black bags and other discarded objects lining the streets. In the centre of the screen, the playtable is visible, being made from wooden poles on either side, with paper lamps in the top corners, red flags above the grid, and other decorations being attached.

From a gameplay perspective, the playtable of Sumo Sumo is slightly larger than other titles, with it containing a 5x5 grid. In this layout, there are 259 unique paylines, each of which can be completed when 3 or more matching symbols land in a row, starting from the leftmost reel. In order for matching symbol combinations to count, there must be no breaks, with paylines continuing over consecutive reel positions. 

Many other games also take inspiration from asian culture, without necessarily basing their theme around Sumo. Some examples of this include the likes of Year of the Dragon King and the Imperial Link Royal Blossom slot.

Sumo Sumo Bonus Features

Sumo Sumo contains a range of interesting bonus features, each designed to add layers to the overall gameplay experience. The first bonus feature of note in Sumo Sumo is the game's wild symbol, which is a popular bonus symbol type found across many other online slot games. In Sumo Sumo, wilds may substitute for all other base symbols in order to form or extend matching symbol combinations. They are able to do this and fill in paylines by assuming the value of base game symbols when required.

Another interesting feature in Sumo Sumo is the Sumo stack respin feature. If sumos land on the grid stacked, they will operate as a wild with a multiplier equal to the number of sumos involved. This multiplier will then be applied to any combinations they are a part of. Once a sumo stack appears, all other reels will respin, with respins ending once no more sumos join the stack. Sumo stacks are able to increase if sumo stacks of the same kind land simultaneously. If opposing sumo stacks land simultaneously, however, they will rush together and start a brawl, with the biggest sumo stack having its multiplier increased by the opposing amount.

If players are able to land 2 free spins symbols, then the corresponding free spins round of Sumo Sumo will be triggered. In this round, wild sumo stacks will become sticky and remain on the reels for the duration of the round.

Finally, in Sumo Sumo, there is a speedboat bonus round, triggered by landing 3 bonus symbols simultaneously. In this round, players receive 3 lives, with all reels empty and displaying either modifier symbols or blanks. Somewhere random on the grid, there will be a speedboat which travels around the playtable, collecting any modifiers which land and resetting the life counter. The available modifier symbols are as follows:

• Swimmers - Provides values that are collected when saved

• Harpoon - Adds its value each turn to the uncollected swimmers.

• Ramp - Perform tricks and multiply the speedboat values

• Turbo Harpoon - Adds its value for each boat collection to all the uncollected sumos.
