A quick Google search revealed that the game of rock paper scissors originated in China in the 1600s and, after being adopted by Japan, became what we know it to be today. It’s wild to think that the game that my wife and I play to see who pays for the groceries originated halfway across the world more than 300 years ago.

1×2 Gaming is bringing the game into its latest evolution with Rock Paper Scissors DRAW!.

Get those fingers ready

The rules are basic. If you’ve played rock, paper, scissors before, then you know them. Rock beats scissors, paper beats rock, and scissors beats paper. And if you throw up the same thing as your opponent, it’s a draw. The draw is where this game gets interesting.

Play Now

In a standard game of rock, paper, scissors, a draw results in nothing but a requirement to play another round. In Rock Paper Scissors Draw!, the casino game, a draw will see you progress up the Prize Board. String a few draws together, and you can grow the win multiplier from the 1.5x base amount to the 100x max multiplier amount. That’s the game’s highlight feature that gives it a little more than a standard game of rock, paper, scissors.

Is Rock Paper Scissors DRAW! worth the carpal tunnel?

As I referenced above, Rock Paper Scissors DRAW! only offers a maximum multiplier of 100x your bet. This means that even if you’re betting at the $100-a-spin maximum, you’ll still only have a shot at up to $10,000 in winnings. The slot does, however, feature low volatility, which focuses the gameplay on small, consistent wins rather than those rare big wins. The slot offers an RTP of 97%.

I’m a big fan of discovering something surprising and unconventional, and that’s exactly what Rock Paper Scissors DRAW! provides. There’s not much to it, yet I stayed for significantly longer than I thought I would, trying to climb the Prize Pool ladder. That being said, I’m not confident that I’ll be back. While it certainly had me hooked on the novelty, its simplicity doesn’t exactly beg you to come again and again. That being said, you certainly shouldn’t skip this one. Give it a try and get sucked in for a little bit like you did when Flappy Birds was still a thing. I give this one a seven out of ten.
