DARUMA IMPACT

In this BSBZA Extra video I try out Daruma Impact, one of the newest releases from Habanero. This game draws inspiration from Japanese culture, with the Daruma doll taking centre stage as both a symbol of luck and the key to unlocking the game’s biggest features.

Daruma Impact plays on a dynamic reel setup that instantly catches your eye with its vibrant colours and traditional Japanese motifs. The reels are packed with cultural symbols and each spin feels like it has the potential to lead into something unique. The standout mechanic here is the Daruma feature, where landing Daruma dolls triggers expanding symbols and multipliers that can transform the reels and build momentum into massive potential wins.

The free spins round takes things further by introducing sticky Daruma symbols that stay in place, making it possible to chain together big payouts with each additional spin. The game has a medium-to-high volatility profile, which means you’ll often see long stretches without major hits, but when the features do land they have the power to completely turn a session around.

In this session I gave Daruma Impact a proper test run, checking out both normal spins and features to see whether it’s a game that can hold up against fan favourites like Hot Hot Fruit and Mystic Fortune Deluxe. It’s definitely a unique addition to Habanero’s growing portfolio and one that fans of Eastern-themed games will want to try at least once.

If you’ve played Daruma Impact already let me know what you thought of it, and whether you see it becoming one of the community favourites.
