Sumo Sumo by ELK Studios

If you didn’t understand the first time, this slot release is about sumo wrestling. From ELK Studios comes Sumo Sumo, a title that throws fruits into this fun Japanese sport.

Like many ELK Studios releases, this one has several extras like walking symbols, sticky wilds, free spins, a bonus game, and a multiplier. The RTP is a bit low – 94%, but you can win prizes worth up to 25,000 times your bet. Interestingly, Sumo Sumo has 259 ways to win.
