100 Spins Test
This 100 Spins will be updated by Steve Madgwick
100 spins is not a Real Test
We give every slot a 100 spin test to see just what it can do, or not as the case can often be - 100 spins is no reflection of the likelihood of any other 100-spin session, as RTP's are set over many millions and probably billions of spins. So this 100 spin test is just for entertainment and insight purposes
The Spin Test criteria can be found at the bottom of the page

Fist of Destruction Expert Review
Game Data
Collected by Andrej Trajkovski
Intro
Maybe you're a child of the 1980s and whiled away your Saturdays playing Street Fighter? Child of the 80s or not, the chances are that you've heard of or played the arcade game Street Fighter. Fist of Destruction is reminiscent of that most bodacious classic game! The aim of the game is to fight - well, to be exact - punch your muscled-up opponent.
As well as choosing your fighter, as mentioned in the summary, you can also trigger Fist Symbol Wilds Reels. When a Fist symbol activates, it expands into a Wild Reel that starts from the position of the First symbol and rises to the very top of the reel. Multipliers can be added to the wild reels, which climb up to an impressive x200.
During this in-depth Fist of Destruction slot review, you can read about all aspects of this brand-new release, so let’s get stuck in.
Graphics, Music, and Sound Effects
Like all Hacksaw imagery, the Fist of Destruction graphics are first-class; its design team always do a marvellous job of the creatives. The bright and vivid imagery of the fighters paves the way for an immersive slots experience.
The music is pure arcade game style with synthesisers used to create a retro gamer vibe. Expect lots of computer beeps, zaps and kapows for the sound effects, as well as background city noise with the hum of traffic and the sound of distant police sirens.

Key Features
Written by Slots Content Manager Jenny Mason
During our OLBG slot game reviews, we like to follow the summary, intro, graphics, music, and sound effects by outlining the key game features. This information will help you decide if Fist of Destruction is a good match for you or not.
We share many slot games reviews on OLBG and these include up-to-date info about essential features such as theme, paylines, reels, bet range, and bonuses. Don't go anywhere if you want to find out about our play experience, first impressions and our expert verdict of the Fist of Destruction slot game.
Theme – Fighting
As you'd expect from a game called Fist of Destruction, the fist image is a big focus heavily during gameplay. From the fighter's, HUGE fists to the Fist symbol, which triggers the Wild Reels feature, you can guarantee a bunch of fives! There are red fists and blue fists to represent both fighting teams. The goal is for each team to gain as many points from the tournaments as possible. The Fighting contents take place down a backstreet in an inner city location.
On the reels, you'll discover in order of highest value first: the Wild symbol, the blue team's masked fighter, the red team's blonde fighter, the blue team's female fighter and finally, the red team's brunette fighter. These are then followed by the standard paying symbols of A, K,Q, J and 10.
Reels
The Fist of Destruction game is another title with the classic 5 reels with 4 rows setup.
Paylines
Landing winning combos is possible on 14 paylines, these are non-adjustable paylines.
RTP
Return to Player or RTP as you've probably seen it written on slot sites is a way of forecasting what percentage of stakes will be returned to players over the long term. It's always represented by a percentage that is usually somewhere between 94% and 96%,nowdays I'd expect to see at least 96%. The Fist of Destruction RTP exceeds the average at 96.30%.
There are different RTP rates available so you’ll need to check on the operator’s sites to find out which RTP they are offering. We’ve dug around and found a few different percentages in some of the current popular UK online casinos and added these sites to the table below.
It’s worth mentioning that RTP isn't the only factor to think about when deciding where to play. You should also consider factors such as payment options, customer support, welcome bonuses and deals and mobile optimisations, etc. Our casino reviews analyse all of these things and much more.
Like most players, you may want to play more than just one game so that you can try them out. We’ve created a page with the slot sites we recommend. These sites feature hundreds of titles that you can play immediately if you're a UK player.
Stake Range
The stake range for Fist of Destruction is pretty wide and starts a £0.10 and goes right up to £100.
Max Win
The max win amount of Fist of Destruction is 10,000x your stake.
Wild Shape
The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols, and it is also the highest paying symbol on the reels.
Free Spins
There are 2 free spin bonus rounds available for the Fist of Destruction game. Firstly, there is the Throwdown! Bonus where the the aim of the game is for the Red and Blue teams to battle against each other to increase their 'Victory Level.' It starts with a level playing field as each team starts with the Victory Level of 3+. Every time a Fist symbol from the other team punches a Fighter of the opposing team or a Wild symbol, the winning team gains one Victory Point. When the team has collected 3 Victory Points, a respin with the Epic Drop is awarded, and the winning team's Victory Level increases by 1. The number of Fist symbols that are guaranteed to drop in the Epic Drop depends on the Victory Level of the team.
- Victory Level 3+ At least 3 Fist symbols of the winning team's colour are guaranteed in the Epic Drop
- Victory Level 4+ At least 4 Fist symbols of the winning team's colour are guaranteed in the Epic Drop.
- Victory Level 5+ At least 5 Fist symbols of the winning team's colour are guaranteed in the Epic Drop.
Fists that land during the Epic Drop do not count towards increasing the winning team's Victory Level. Landing additional FS symbols during the feature awards additional free spins. 2 FS symbols- 2 extra free spins, and 3 FS symbols - awards 4 extra free spins.
The Ultimate Thowdown! Bonus is the second bonus game. Landing 4 FS Scatters during the base game triggers this bonus game, where you receive 10 free spins. The mechanics of this bonus are the same as the Throwdown! Bonus but the team starts with Victory Level 4+. Fists that land during the Epic Drop do not count towards increasing the team's Victory Level. Landing additional FS Scatters awards extra free spins so 2 FS Scatters - 2 free spins and 3 FS Scatters - 4 extra free spins.
Play Experience & First Impressions
The use of two contrasting colours to represent teams reminded me of Hacksaw's last game Beam Boys which was split with orange and blue colours to represent the different teams/volatility ratings. Whereas in Fist of Destruction, the colours used are red and blue. This design makes it easier to follow and visually, it looks superb on the screen. The robotic parts on the fighter's bodies also reminded me of the robotic cats in Beam Boys. The Throwdown! Bonus rounds were exciting and ran at an exhilarating pace; they were pretty simple to understand once I was familiar with the game info. I didn't gain Victory Points when testing the games, though; they seemed difficult to win.
My favourite feature of Fist of Destruction was the Fist Symbol Wilds Reels. When a Fist symbol activates, it expands into a Wild Reel that starts from the position of the First symbol and rises to the very top of the reel, which you'll see as a reel of colour of either red or blue. Fist symbols only activate if the expanded reel would be part of at least one winning combo once expanded. Fist Wild Reels are wild and substitute for all other paying symbols. Fist symbols belong to either the Red team or the Blue team which is indicated in the colour of the symbol. If the Fist symbol passes through, i.e. punches a Fighter symbol of the opposite team or a Wild symbol, a multiplier will be added to the wild reels. This multiplier will be applied to each winning combo it is part of. If the Fist symbol has travelled through multiple Figter symbols, the multiplier will be added together and then applied to the win. If a winning combo includes more than one Fist Wild Reel, their multipliers will be added together before being applied to the win. Multiplier values range between 2x - 200x. Each reel can only land one Fist symbol at one time
Expert Verdict
Being a fan of arcade games, I was drawn to Fist of Destruction. as soon as I launched it. Choosing your own fighter was a slick extra, which will probably be popular and mixed up the play experience. The concept of integrating two fighting teams into a slot game is an excellent one, and the idea has transferred well into the final slots experience. The 2 Throwndown! Bonuses, and the Fist Symbol Wild Reels were enjoyable, especially the multiplier element.
Using two contrasting colours makes the gameplay even more simple to follow. One observation, though, is that the game info tells us that it's the Red team vs. the Blue Team Blue, but surely it's orange rather than red unless my eyes are failing me?
Hacksaw is a great studio for creating immersive slots with a strong style that links to well-thought-out features, and they vary in style, so like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get next. I'm looking forward to its next game, Dawn of Kings which is due for release in March 2024.
