Throughout its history, the Shaolin monks had uneasy relations with many emperors, took some blows in its reputation (when unworthy fighters were joining the organization), and their Temple shrank and expanded (in size of estate and rules) several times. The holy site was destroyed and then rebuilt, occupied and then abandoned during long tumultuous changes in China.
This was not only a center of learning for fighting and the use of weapons (teacher-to-student), but also a Buddhist center of spiritual progress, poetry, religious revelation, and freedom of thought.
By rewriting the legends and the real record of events, it seems that the most important lesson the monks of Shaolin had to learn was not the skill of fighting, but sheer survival.
Many famous monks have been ordained in this secret place, and now some of them appeared as symbols in the video game. But actually, there are a lot of Kung Fu slots circling the casino platforms (i.e. nothing noteworthy about the theme).
Plus, the visuals and audio aren’t stunning – just decent, and the paytable isn’t very generous either. And surprisingly, it is also a reskin of KA Gaming’s Charming Sorceress slot from 2020 (as indicated by our tracking machine).
Listing out all the drawbacks it should be said that like with its other creations KA Gaming is keeping secret the technical attributes of the Shaolin Legend. What we know for sure is that there are 20 pay ways across 5×3 playing territory and a large betting zone between 20 cents and 300 CAD.
And what we had established in our own BNC lab during testing is that the hit rate is very high (over 42%), and the theoretical return index is close to 96% (RTP).
Meanwhile, the maximum outlook in a single spin here (either in the base or in the Bonus round) is only the measly 500x the total bet, which is super weak for a game with Medium Volatility.
All in all, Shaolin Legend online slot can be suitable for playing for fun or if you are a beginner. But experienced players and high rollers will be dissuaded by the whole list of issues we mentioned above and especially because of the scarce maximum prospect. We doubt this game will be a hit with players who prefer Medium Variance, as it is clear that while your bankroll is not subject to major risk, a large increase in balance is also very unlikely. That is why we leave a neutral opinion when it comes to playing for real money.
