Red Cliff Pokie

The Battle of Red Cliff was a fierce and conclusive Chinese naval war in the year AD 208-209, the last months of the Han Dynasty. In 2021 KA Gaming released the Red Cliff pokie and it succeeds to capture the theme on the reels with nicely detailed war-related symbols and a bombastic battle hymn.

Regarding the soundtrack and audio effects, the Taiwanese developer still has a lot of room for improvement - layer after layer of independent sounds, till they all merge into one big cacophony (especially during wins), can become tiresome.

The 5x3 grid, with 30 fixed paylines is projected on the square sail of an ancient battleship, aka Shachuan, sailing towards the combat zone, which will appear behind the reels during Free Spins. The Chained (Sticky) Wilds in the FS do deliver wins, but not imposing enough to make you want to return to this pokie regularly.

With Medium Volatility and almost decent settings: RTP of 95.55% and hit rate of 27%, it seems like it’s a fair fight, but the poor paytable makes it difficult to preserve the balance on a healthy level, even though all symbols frequently appear Stacked (including  Wilds, but excluding Scatters). Once your credits are gulped down it seems to be a lost battle. The final drawback is the Max win of 500x the bet (low by all standards).

Note, we established all the technical stats ourselves - via internal BNC channels and with our in-house analytical tools.

All things taken into account, we reckon the Red Cliff pokie machine is not suitable for bonus money wagering (despite the average risk), nor for gambling with real credits. Consider yourself lucky if you manage to trigger the Bonus round within the first 100 spins (with medium bets). If you do, take the money and run. In most cases, the second Bonus will not come around soon, and even if it does, the result will not be sufficient to recover your current loss.
