Shadow Society Review
You have to give credit where it's due to Red Tiger Gaming as no one could've expected a slot like Shadow Society. Most of the releases for Red Tiger throughout 2022 have been completely bonkers and the slot developers seem to be creating the slots that they want instead of trends.
This mysterious slot is all about a secret society that controls the world clearly inspired by the Illuminati or Freemasons. Although nothing is as it seems in this slot as extra symbols can appear, extra rows and extra reels can crop up with the progress bar. If you love strange and wonderful slots, then Shadow Society could be the one for you.
Design
It's clear that a huge amount of effort has gone into the design as it's absolutely stunning. When the game opens up, there is a cartoon background with cell shading mixed with constellations and bright colours.
Shadow Society definitely stands out as a visual marvel with the background and it's hard not to appreciate it. As for the symbols on the reels, they are all designed to a stellar quality with different characters and associated symbols.
The music is exactly what you'd expect with a synth score in the distance paired with bells and other light instruments. It creates a musical score full of intrigue and whimsy.
Gameplay
It's fair to say that the gameplay of this slot is quite unconventional and even works a little bit like a video game as certain elements have to be unlocked throughout the gameplay. However, the free spins round is always available to trigger which is good!
There is nothing overly complicated about this game making it perfect for newcomers wanting to dip their toes into iGaming. In order to get started with this slot, there is the spin button and bet level just at the bottom of the screen. The overall menu bars are easy to find and clearly pointed out - so you shouldn't have too much trouble.
Win Potential
There are some versions of this slot that contain the Red Tiger Daily Jackpot taking the wins to the next level! With this jackpot, there are three different jackpots available to be won! However, double-check with your chosen slot site beforehand to see if the jackpot is on.
As there is a progressive jackpot in some versions of this slot, the RTP varies between 92.76% to 95.76% with the higher amounts being on the game without the jackpot. This is not a terrible RTP if you have the jackpot, but it's disappointing if you are just playing the base game.
Without the jackpot, you will find wins of up to 1,968x the stake which is not a huge amount. Throughout our playthrough, we never found anything bigger than 200x the stake but that was just our experience. Evidently, it seems that the win potential is excellent with the jackpot and mediocre without it.
Our Verdict
The thought process behind this slot is absolutely fantastic as we could not get enough of the mysterious vibes going on throughout. It's safe to say that the design is spectacular and really delivers a solid experience.
We would even go as far as to say that the gameplay is wonderful as well. Our only issue was with the base game without the jackpot. We definitely recommend only playing this slot with the jackpot version as it takes the win potential from below average to something spectacular.
