Jade Shuriken

Jade Shuriken Slot Review 

Jade Shuriken is a video slot from Slingshot Studios that was released on September 6, 2022. The game takes place against a landscape that isn't very memorable, we think it's a lake, but there are also some mountains in the picture. The nighttime atmosphere is conveyed by the use of a dark purple color in the background, while the other colors are vibrant and stand out quite well. This video game is a feast for the eyes, and it also features music that is quite well matched. When the features begin to play, everything starts to ramp up to a faster pace, and you can feel the excitement beginning to pulse through your veins. Throughout the two epic features, the first and fifth reels are substituted by pictures of dueling ninjas who are waiting to see what treasures will fall between them. There are quite a lot of good Asian-style slots out there, so it is important to read our review to decide whether this one is worth your time and money playing it.

Jade Shuriken Bonus Features

Feature Trail

The Feature Trail points to the possibility of triggering either the Epic Strike or Epic Strike Respins feature. The appearance of green Bonus symbols suggests the possibility of activating Epic Strike. The presence of orange Respin symbols indicates the possibility of an Epic Strike Respins trigger. Each time you spin the wheel, the Feature Trail will progress from right to left. 

Epic Strike Respins

To activate the Epic Strike Respins feature, you must first get 3 or more of the Respin symbols. If you can get 12 Respin Symbols, you will win 2500 times your total bet. It is possible for Respin symbols to appear stacked. The reels 2, 3, and 4 all may contain symbols for the respin feature. Respin symbols can be scattered across the reels in order to pay. These symbols may payout anywhere from 4x to 2500x the initial wager.

A free spin is awarded on reels 2, 3, and 4 whenever the Epic Strike Respins feature is activated. The feature exclusively incorporates blank symbol spaces and Respin symbols. The symbols that trigger the Respin feature remain stationary while the rest of the symbol locations undergo another spin. Any extra Respin symbols that appear throughout the game are kept, and you are given an additional free respin. The bonus comes to an end when either the top cash reward is earned or there are no further Respin symbols that appear on the reels. This feature may activate at any time, including during the main game and Free Spins.

Epic Strike

To win a cash reward, you must collect three or more Bonus symbols. If you get 12 Bonus symbols, you will win 2500 times your entire stake immediately. It is possible for bonus symbols to appear stacked. The reels 2, 3, and 4 are where you'll find the bonus symbols. In order to win payouts, bonus symbols may be dispersed wherever on the reels.  Both the regular game and the free spins feature include bonus symbols.

Free Spins

3 Scatter symbols trigger Free Spins. You have the ability to choose one of 3 different free spins options available to you.

 - 15 free spins, a multiplier of two times and a minimum of 1 Respin symbol on the trail

 - 10 free spins, a multiplier of three times, and a minimum of 4 Respin symbols on the trail

 - 6 free spins, a multiplier of 5 times and only Respin symbols on the trail

The multiplier that applies during the free spins only applies to line wins. It is possible to win additional Free Spins. The original Free Spins feature option will determine both the amount of additional Free Spins and the multiplier that will be granted when the bonus is retriggered.

Our Experience Playing Jade Shuriken

When we first began playing the game, we were welcomed with a reelset that seemed to be quite simple and an Asian music that sounded exciting and adventurous. During the course of putting it through its paces, we had high hopes that an abundance of additional features would help us win some money. We chose to examine the behavior of this slot machine in terms of payouts by using our standard procedure, which consisted of making a deposit of 200 Euros, adjusting the stake to 1 Euro, and giving the machine around 300 spins. The Respin feature was activated twice during our initial one hundred spins, and we earned 15 Euros and 5 Euros correspondingly. Additionally, with the assistance of a number of lesser rewards here and there, we came close to paying for our try in full. During our next one hundred spins, we triggered the Free Spins bonus round, chose the Canyon of Courage with 6 Free Spins and as a result we triggered the Respin feature a total of 5 times and won a decent sum of 69.75 Euros. During our final one hundred spins we triggered the Free Spins once again, but this time it paid us only 16.75 Euros. However, the Respin Feature came to clutch and helped us to win some more. Overall, after 300 spins and about 30 minutes of our time, we won 36.65 Euros and were quite happy with the result

Jade Shuriken Verdict

The Epic Strike feature has the potential to provide some decent prizes, and this slot machine is one of the examples when it is utilized almost perfectly. The volatility of this slot machine is medium, but selecting the Canyon of Courage Free Spins option raises it to a high level, increasing your chances of winning significant amounts of money. Do not anticipate receiving large rewards when playing the main game unless they result from the Respin feature. When all is said and done, this slot machine can be a good option for individuals who want to play it safe but do not anticipate winning significant amounts of money while playing it. In other words, these people are the kind of people that play it for the experience. Give it a go if you're a fan of video slots with an Asian aesthetic.
