Round 1. Fight! NetEnt’s Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Slot gives you the chance to revisit the iconic world of Street Fighter, based on the famous Capcom game release from the 90’s. For this one, NetEnt takes you back to 1991 with this one for what is arguably the greatest fighting game of all time.
The new addition to the NetEnt’s branded games portfolio will feature the iconic eight selectable characters – Ryu, Ken, E. Honda, Guile, Chun-Li, Blanka, Zangief and Dhalsim – as well as boss fights with Balrog, Vega, Sagat and the truly evil M. Bison. Street Fighter II’s genre-defining graphics, soundtrack and animations, as well as its gameplay, will be reflected as true to the brand and the original game as possible.
The release of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior took the arcade world by storm in the early nineties and today it is widely considered as the ultimate classic video game that continues to entertain fans almost 30 years later

Capcom 1991 meets NetEnt 2020
Created by Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior immediately captivated audiences across the globe and shot to record-breaking success when it launched in 1991, spawning multiple sequels and movies.
As the first one-on-one fighting game to give players choice from a variety of characters with unique fighting styles, it was the introduction of special move combinations that defined the game’s quintessential gameplay.
Today the infamous fighting game comes to life again on a 5×5 grid of cluster pays symbols. Choose from eight selectable game characters and fight the bosses until you make it to the final match. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Slot has a ton of features and gamification that make the game feel and play very similarly to the original arcade version… the same graphics, the same emotion, and the same fist-pumping action!
Choose one of 8 characters and fight a random opponent. If you win the battle, you are awarded Beat the Boss Free Spins. There are 4 boss levels in Free Spins. Each level offers a higher multiplier. Only by beating a boss can you move to the next level. Each victory increases your chances of winning big. Keep fighting off your opponents until you come up against the final boss himself… M. Bison!
This game is loaded with Wilds. Each high-value symbol in a winning combination gives you one point. Collect 7 or more points, and the Wild Combo feature is activated, randomly placing Wild symbols on the reels, and giving you a chance to win big!
A hidden bonus game allows you to control your character just in like in the original arcade! Remember the part in the game where Ryu smashes up a car? Well, it’s time to do it again!
