The Battle of Red Cliffs was a historic event during China’s Three Kingdoms period. It saw the forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei form an alliance to oppose the numerically superior army of warlord Cao Cao, who sought to unify China under his rule. Taking place along the Yangtze River, the battle was marked by brilliant strategy, including the use of fire to destroy Cao Cao’s fleet. This is one of the main parts of the imagery of the game as we see fire symbols throughout.

The victory by Sun and Liu preserved southern independence, reshaped the balance of power, and laid the groundwork for the division of China into three separate kingdoms. This game has gone as far as having characters including Cao Cao as symbols within the game.

In terms of the mechanics, this is also a relatively creative slot from the developers at Pragmatic. It is a 3×5 grid and has 25 paylines. The generals Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan bring their entire army on stacked reels, and then when they clash, extra points are awarded towards triggering a jackpot. In the Free Spins round, we also see the generals become wilds and help to make more matches.

3 Kingdoms – Battle of Red Cliffs is a game that is relatively simple to understand even though it deals with some pretty important history. It also has some bonus features and the sort of smooth gameplay we normally see from Pragmatic Play, and has a RTP rate of 96%.
