Red Sorghum

Red Sorghum Overview

Red Sorghum is a KA Gaming slot built around a film-style drama set in the countryside, with sorghum fields glowing under a red sky behind a wooden, thatched frame. The game runs on 5 reels and 3 rows with 30 paylines, and the number of lines is written on both sides of the reels. SlotCatalog lists an RTP of 96% (the game is offered in several RTP versions) and stakes from 0.30 to 150 per spin. SlotCatalog does not publish a volatility rating or a maximum win for this title, and KA Gaming's release sheet does not include it either.

Theme and Design

The title recalls the well-known Chinese novel and film of the same name, and the slot borrows that mood rather than a detailed story: tall sorghum stalks sway at the sides of the screen, clay wine jars stand in the foreground, and the whole reel set is framed like an old farm shed. The gangster touches – the pistol and the sharply dressed men – give the game a crime-drama edge.

The main characters are shown as real photographs in round frames, while the objects and card suits are drawn in a softer painted style. Winning symbols are outlined and connected by the line that paid, and larger wins bring up gold counters over the reels.

Symbols

The premium symbols are photographic portraits: a young woman in a red dress, a man in a white shirt, a man in a dark suit and a woman in a green jacket. They are joined by a red embroidered bundle, a pistol and a porcelain tea bowl with its lid, while the card suits – spade, heart, diamond and club – fill the lower tier. The red bridal sedan chair is the wild and carries the WILD label, and a sunset scene over the fields is the scatter.

Paytable

Our paytable screenshot was taken at a total bet of $75 ($2.50 per line). The top prizes for five of a kind were:

• Woman in red – $1,250 (four pay $625, three $125)
• Man in white shirt – $625
• Man in suit and woman in green – $312.50
• Red bundle, pistol and tea bowl – $250
• Spade and heart – $187.50; diamond and club – $125

The scatter pays on its own: $375 for three, $3,750 for four and $7,500 for five, which is 100x the total bet at this stake.

Free Spins

Scatters lead to the free spins round. According to the game's original description and the SlotCatalog feature list, a random multiplier of up to 15x can be applied to wins during free play.

Our Demo Spins

All of our spins were played at the $75 total bet. One spin with tea bowls and a wild on the reels paid $105 in total, and another tea bowl spin with a wild reached $270; in both cases three tea bowls on a single line paid $20. Three men in white shirts on line 11 paid $62.50. The biggest moment was a Mega Win of $762.50, where the woman in red, the wild and other line wins landed together, including “Line 22 wins $125.00”.

Playing the Game

The controls sit in a single bar under the reels. New Bet opens the stake selector, Max Bet jumps straight to the highest stake, and the round orange button spins the reels; holding it starts autoplay. The win, total bet and balance fields run along the same bar, and the info button in the lower right corner opens the paytable, which updates its cash values to the chosen stake. All 30 lines are always active.

Our Take

Red Sorghum stands out with its cinematic portraits and warm, dusky colours rather than with complex mechanics. The line game is straightforward, while the scatter pays and the random multiplier in free spins carry the bigger wins. When we checked on 28 September 2026, the game was listed at all six of our partner casinos, and the free demo on the left runs without registration.
