So Much Sushi is indeed a slot machine themed around the famous Japanese dish, but it’s also one of the three games that are in the “So Much” series. It has the same features as the other games, while the graphics are themed around sushi but they keep the same style of design. The game comes from Microgaming, with its biggest pro being the presence of the Much More Sushi feature, which influences the way it is played and makes it a lot more fun than your average slot machine.
You get a chance to take home a $64,000 top prize, though you need the help of the Much More Sushi feature to get it. There are also wilds, free spins and scatter symbols in the game. It’s a 5 reel slot, where you always wager on 25 paylines.
Features of So Much Sushi
A mix of regular and new features are part of the game, all of them identical to the ones available in the other So Much slots. You get a regular wild, a round of free spins with different win potentials, scatters and the Much More Sushi feature.
First, the Much More Sushi feature, the one that makes this game what it is, a slot that actually innovates. Whatever sushi related symbol you get on the reels, it can have between 1 and 5 pieces of food on it. High paying symbols require anywhere between 6 and 25 pieces of food to be part of the combination of symbols, in order to offer you a prize. Low paying symbols don’t split like this, so for them you need the usual 3 to 5 icons to appear together.
We have the So Much Sushi Logo next, which is the slot’s wild symbol. Seeing this symbol appear multiple times on the same active line should be good news, since it awards some of the better prizes of the slot when it forms combinations (though not the biggest one). Of course, as a wild it also substitutes for regular symbols, the scatter being the only exception.
The scatter symbol is another one that brings you prizes, but it doesn’t have to create a combo on a certain payline. Simply having between 2 and 5 scattered Soy Sauce icons on the reels will bring you prizes which vary between 1x and 75x the wager.
Free Games Feature
The slot’s free spins are started when 3, 4 or 5 Soy Sauce scatters show up. You get a choice next, where you pick one of the five types of sushi. That particular symbol will replace all other sushi symbols for the duration of the free spins.
Depending on the symbol which is chosen, you get between 8 and 16 free spins, with payout potentials varying between $160,000 and $320,000. With the same requirement being met again, you can retrigger these free spins.
Betting options and jackpots
The betting in So Much Sushi uses 25 paylines at all times. You choose how many coins should be wagered though, the range being 1 to 20. Denominations are very low, the maximum value being $0.20. A $4 line bet is possible, but that will take the maximum wager to a value of $100.
When the Much More Sushi feature gets involved, you can get paid up to $64,000, if you get 25 pieces of Sushi from the five symbols of the combo.
Design and symbols
The game’s design does the theme justice, with the wooden panels used in the background image making you actually believe that you’re in a sushi restaurant. The playing cards are the usual boring stuff, while the sushi foods which are used as high paying symbols look great.
Symbols: So Much Sushi Logo (wild, 7,500x), Soy Sauce (scatter, 75x the bet), Sushi (16,000x), Sushi #2 (14,000x), Fish Eggs (12,000x), Sushi #3 (10,000x), Green Roll (8,000x), Ace (110x), King (75x), Queen (75x), Jack (55x) and 10 (55x).
Is It Worth Playing?
All the games from the series are fun, but they’re pretty much identical in every way with the exception of the design. Go with the one that you prefer.
You will find So Much Sushi at any online casino which chooses to use software from Microgaming, playable either for free or for real money.
