Sumo Sumo Review

We only count 10 Sumo slots in circulation at this time, and that includes Sumo Sumo (which, despite the title, only counts as one). It’s certainly a welcome addition from ELK Studios, but this is not really a wrestling/sport slot as such, just to manage expectations. The sumos can and will brawl during the walking multiplier wild sumo stack respins feature though, so there is that.

You can get plenty of sumo stacks walking around, and their wild multiplier increases per new sumo that jumps onboard. Brawls boosts the winning wild multiplier, and the speedboat streak respins cash collect feature comes with innovative special symbols. The sumo stacks are never removed in the regular bonus round, and you can win up to 25,000x your stake.

Sumo Sumo Slot Features

You win by connecting matching symbols from the uttermost left to the right, either horizontally or diagonally. The red and blue sumo wrestler symbols pay 5 to 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the ‘W’ wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins.

The Wild Sumo Stacks feature triggers when sumo symbols are adjacent, and you will see them jump on top of each other if part of a win. The stack occupies only one position no matter how many sumo symbols the stack contains.

The sumo stack is wild, and the wild multiplier is equal to the number of symbols it contains.

The multiplier will boost any win the wild stack partakes in, and multiply together if more than one sumo wild stack is part of the same win. You get a respin where the stack, or stacks, move on position to the right, and they turn and move to the left if they reach the end of the grid. The respins feature ends on a non-winning spin.

If sumo stacks of different colors appear on the same row during the respins feature, the Brawl feature is triggered. The sumo stack on the right-hand side runs towards the left-hand side sumo stack, and the largest stack always wins. The winning stack wild multiplier is then multiplied by the losing stack’s multiplier.

If both stacks are equal in size, the winner is randomly chosen. Brawls can also change the direction of the stacks.

The Speedboat Bonus triggers from 3 speedboat symbols, and you get 3 free spins on a 5x5 grid. The speedboat has horizontal and vertical “vision”, and the boat will chase down all symbols it can “see”. The boat is a collector symbol, and this resets the spin tally to 3 each time. The boat will collect all symbols possible per round, and the following symbols can appear:

• Swimmer Sumo - comes with a cash value to be collected.
• Wakeboarder Sumo - is collected and attached to the boat, and it increases its value each time the boat moves.
• Ramp - boosts the speedboat x-bet value and wakeboard counter by its value.
• Harpoonist - increases the value of uncollected symbols for the same round.
• Turbo Harpoonist - increases the value of collected symbols each time.

You win the total value of the speedboat when the feature ends, plus the value of the wakeboard if you had one attached.

The Free Spins round triggers from 2 scatters, and this gives you 6 initial spins. Unlike in the base game, sumo symbols remain in play even between spins, and they are also not removed when they reach reel 1. You can retrigger the feature to win +6 extra spins indefinitely.

The X-iter Feature Buy menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. Here’s an overview:

• Bonus Hunt - pay 5x your regular stake per spin to increase your chances of either of the bonus rounds.
• Brawl Mode - pay 10x to get a guaranteed brawl.
• Speedboat Bonus - pay 50x to trigger this bonus round.
• Super Speedboat Bonus - pay 100x to get an enhanced version where all harpoonists are turbo.
• Free Spins - pay 500x to trigger the free spins round.

Review Summary

We got E. Honda Street Fighter 2 nostalgia vibes all over the place from Sumo Sumo, which added to the overall experience, and this ELK production certainly stands out from the crowd. The walking sumo wild stacks, with increasing multiplier as more sumos are added, is a sight to behold. It gets even better when the sumos brawl, and your wild stack multiplier is multiplied by the losing stack’s multiplier.

The soundbites are enjoyable too, not least if you liked said E. Honda in the legendary fighting game.

The speedboat round is an original take on the streak respins collect feature, and it’s fun when you get a wakeboard sumo attached. The regular bonus round is fun as well, at least if you get some serious sumo brawling action going. All is fine and dandy until you discover the giant 94 % RTP turd in the punch bowl. This is a dealbreaker for many players, and a 25,000x potential is not really enough to compensate.

Pros

• Walking multiplier wild sumo stack respins
• Brawl feature multiplies sumo stack multiplier
• Speedboat streak respins collect feature
• FS where sumo stacks are never removed
• Win up to 25,000x your stake

Cons

• RTP of 94 % is dealbreaker territory (ELK!)

If you love Sumo Sumo Slot you should also try:

Yokozuna Clash - is a highly engaging sumo wrestling slot from Yggdrasil, and it revolves around the tournament bonus round. It’s all about pushing the opponent off the ring, you’ll meet a sumo version of El Diablo himself if you take it all the way to the final fight.

Legendary Sumo - is a sumo wrestling installment from Endorphina, and it comes with engaging visuals and an x2 multiplier bonus round. The bonus round determines which sumo wrestler who wins, and this is how you get golden trophy wilds during the feature.

Propaganda - is a dystopian nightmare release from ELK, but it comes with a glimmer of hope in the backdrop. Winning symbols increase the win multiplier, and multiplier wilds can split or combine.

The multiplier never resets in the bonus round, and the super version awards multiplier wilds per spin. The max win is 25,000x your stake.
