Samurai's Katana Bonus Features

There is a lot to talk about when it comes to the lucrative features of this slot. So, let's get started!

Wilds 

Here are as many as two types of Wilds in this game — a 1x1-sized special symbol and a vertically positioned stack of 4 consecutively joined Wilds.

Wild Symbol

Traditionally looking Wild Symbol replaces other paying pictures except for Scatters & Instant Prize Symbols and pays up to x60 to the stake per 5 such pics on the win line. It lands exclusively on the 2 — 4 reels during the Base Game mode. Within Free Spins, the regular Wild symbol hits anywhere on the play grid.

Wild Stack

Wild 1x4-sized Stacks land only within the 2 — 4 reels during the base game and appear on any reel on the play grid within Free Spins. Wild Stack can cover all four rows of that reel it appeared at, or less number of those, down to one, depending on how exactly it has landed. Each Wild from this stack substitutes any paying symbol in prize sequences except for Scatters and Instant Prize Symbols. Also, there could be up to 3 Wild Stacks on the playfield simultaneously. 

Nudging Wild Feature

After the Wild Stack lands on the playfield, during each following spin, the Wild Stack nudges one position down until it completely goes from the play grid. 

Instant Prize Symbols

These aren’t paying symbols, carrying attached cash prizes from x1 to x1,000 by the stake that are eligible to be collected during both — the Base and the Bonus Game. Instant prizes can be reaped due to the winning combination with participating in Instant Prize Symbols and at least 2 Wilds placed on the adjacent reels. The corresponding combination can be formed in both ways — from left to right and vice versa, from right to left.

Scatters

Here are two types of Scatters in this slot — the regular and the Gamble Scatter symbol. The first one lands only on the 1st reel, whereas the second — exclusively on the 5th.

Gamble Scatter Symbols

After landing, Gamble Scatter randomly picks the starting multiplier for the current Bonus Game, which can be one of the following values — x1, x3, x5, x10, or x25. After it has been chosen, the next stage of the gambling process provides the additional opportunity to increase a Win Multiplier to enhance Free Spins' profitability.

Free Spins 

Gamble Feature

Before the Bonus Game starts, you can enhance your currently starting FS multiplier up to x3, x5, x10, x25, or x100 value using the Gamble Feature, which works automatically, randomly choosing one of the Prize Segments among all those presented.

These eligible rewards are 1-3 Wild Stacks, empty No Prize Segments, and Win Multipliers up to x100. If the Gamble Feature picks a No Prize Segment or a Wild Stack Segment, you will be back to the Base Game. That's why there is an option provided to save the initial FS Win Multiplier gained due to the Gamble Scatter symbol, using the 'Collect' button instead of tempting fate, risking losing Free Spins. 

Free Spins Feature

It needs to get just 2 Scatters, the regular and the Gamble Scatter, to start Free Spins. Two Wild Stacks are on the playfield during the first free spin, fully covering the 2nd and 4th reels. If the Win Multiplier isn't an x100 from the beginning, every nudging of Wild Stack 1-position down makes the Multiplier Meter grow by one step. Every time, you will need five steps to get the one-level bigger Win Multiplier (x3, x5, 10, x25, x100). The Multiplier is used for all wins during the Base Game, not only for those the Wild Stack partake in. Free Spins continue while at least one Wild Stack is in view on the playfield, fully or partially. But any free spin without Wild Stack makes the Bonus Game over.

Buy Free Spins

There are as many as 7 available in this game options to buy:

• ‘2 Wild Stacks’ ( x18.8)
• ‘3 Wild Stacks’ ( x83)
• ‘Random Wild Stack’ (x30)
• ‘x1 Multiplier’ (x51)
• ‘x3 Multiplier’ (x118.5)
• ‘x10 Multiplier’ (x488.9)
• ‘Random Multiplier’ (x100)

All of them are eligible to purchase only within the Base Game.

Our Experience Playing Samurai's Katana

To learn this game in a maximally complete way, give our 300-spin gaming session report a read. We had the €200 deposit and used a €1 stake per spin. Also, you should know it was the slot version with the highest RTP of 96.4%.

The first hundred spins finished with €392.5 game balance due to a huge win thanks to Free Spins (€185.6) and a €100.2 overall prize earned by the Nudging Wild feature. Also, there were 33 regular prizes because of winning combinations, some of which (16), sadly, appeared less than the current stake.

During the second hundred spins, we got the biggest Base Game win of €102.1 due to the Prize Symbols feature, yet there were absent Free Spins. This time, the Nudging Wild feature earned just €36. The overall number of the Base Game prizes totaled 26. After the 200th spin, there was €437.9 on the balance.

We didn’t get the Bonus Game during the third hundred spins or a big instant win due to the Prize Symbols. Thanks to the Nudging Wild feature, we gained an overall €37.1. The number of regular wins was 28. Upon the end of the 300-spin gaming session, there was as much as €384.8 on our account. Hence, we made €184.8. 

Here are all the statistics about these 300 spins:

As you can see, the Nudging Wild Stacks feature is the truly profitable one, making even the Base Game not that loss-making. Moreover, this function is highly beneficial within the Bonus Game alongside the global Win Multiplier up to x100. Another beneficial thing about this game is that there could be up to 3 Nudging Wild Reels on the playfield, which guarantees you good wins and an especially prominent mood for the several following spins after such a happy accident happened. Also, the Instant Prize Symbols feature showed itself well, granting us the biggest Base Game win of €102.1. Interestingly, this function pays both ways — from left to right and vice versa. Finally, the Bonus Game is one the best in the sense of profitability we have ever seen, guaranteeing continuous Multiplier Meter growth and unlimited Free Spins while Nudging Wild Stacks are on the play grid. Also, there is quite an easy method to trigger the Bonus Game in this slot, needing simultaneous landing of just 2 Scatters.

Samurai's Katana Verdict

Frankly, it’s one of the best games we've ever made a review on. Even its Base Game has as many as two extremely profitable bonus features — Nudging Wild Stacks & Instant Prize Symbols. Thanks to this, if the free spins hadn't been triggered, our total losses in the base game would have been just €0.8 for the entire 300 spins. It’s incredible! It seems like you can play this game, just patiently waiting for its Free Spins to start without any issue with the balance decreasing during the Base Game. On top of that, the most engaging experience comes through the Bonus Game that delivers unlimited Free Spins, Nudging Wild Reels, Instant Prize Symbols, and up to x100 global Win Multiplier. All that guarantees you an extremely high possibility of getting huge wins.

But the RTP value of this gamble may vary from good-looking 96.4% to not that generous 88.26%. Therefore, beware concerning this aspect. Yet, that's the only severe drawback that we found here. So, if you are keen on games with Sci-Fi plots and potentially fantastically big wins, this one is designed for you!
