Street Fighter IV

Do you remember the original Street Fighter game? It was epic and spawned a multitude of games and spinoffs over the past twenty odd years. One of the most recent games was Street Fighter IV which proved to be so popular that a video slot was created in its image.

Street Fighter IV Theme

The slot begins with an animated cut scene featuring all of the characters from the game. After this has finished the slot loads and you are able to spin the reels to a set of authentic synthesized sound effects.

The background area appears to be clouds at first but on closer inspection is actually light blue silhouettes of each character. The slot itself is surrounded by a brick wall and blood splattered stone blocks.

You won’t find any official characters on the reels but will see various weapons and references, Bisons famous military style hat and Vegas mask can be seen for example. Other icons include yin-yang, Japanese lettering, Street Fighter IV logos and stylized 9, 10, J, Q, K and A figures.

Betting Options and More Functions

Bets range from a tiny 0.01 to a mammoth $500 per spin. You can also play in Euros or Pounds depending on which country you reside.

Automatic spins are included on the lefthand side which is handy; especially as advanced options allow you to choose whether to stop play for wins and bonus rounds.

Street Fighter IV Slot Features

The YinYang icon is able to substitute for other icons when it appears on reels 2 or 4. It cannot substitute for the scattered logo though.

You are asked to select a character; Ryu gives extra multipliers, Ken gives extra games, Abel extra repeaters and Chunli extra symbols. The bonus game then begins with a fight scene where you stop the counter on a move which your warrior performs before awarding a number of free spins. These free spins are enhanced with your chosen characters trait and you receive extra free spins each time the character appears.

Our Take on Street Fighter IV

The opening credits and bonus round are awesome and pay real attention to detail. Don’t be disheartened by the lack of characters on the reels because all of the top names from Street Fighter IV are included in the bonus round and assuming you choose them will fight for your winnings!
