Ronin Slots

You're probably well aware of what a Japanese samurai is. They're famously heroic and powerful. This ancient warrior places honor above all else, along with integrity and discipline. In the samurai world, every samurai must have a master. However, if by some unfortunate circumstances, a samurai warrior is deprived of a master, they become a ronin.

Admirers of martial arts movies, practicers of sword fighting or fans of these classic warrior tales will love this ronin-themed slot game. This Realtime Gaming progressive video slot has five reels, and features a range of traditional samurai items like decorative horses, flags, helmets, and ronin warriors themselves. The background is a burst of beautiful culture, with Japanese aesthetics that add to the overall look of the slot. Sound wise, the game features relaxing, almost meditative audio that prepares every ronin for a new battle. To spin the reels and see what exactly the Ronin has in store, you'll need to place your bet. Your wager can vary from $0.01 to $5 per coin, and if you play on 20 pay lines, you'll have a variety of selected bet amounts, including up to $100 per spin. Regardless of your bet, any amount can win you the progressive jackpot, and the value of the jackpot increases every minute.

Special Symbols

This game has two basic, but special symbols. Ronin operates as the game’s scatter, and also operates as wilds do, and will substitute to complete winning combinations for all other symbols except the Koku. The koku is the official wild symbol, and also substitutes for other symbols, completing winning combinations except for when the ronin scatter is involved.

Special Features

Obviously, special symbols play an important role when it comes to the game’s special features. If you land two ronin symbols and a koku at the same time, you'll boost your balance because there are three features this combination can activate. The first of these features I'd like to talk about is the re-spin feature, which is held on the third reel. The others respin three to ten times, and if you land two more additional ronin symbols during this feature, you'll be awarded free spins.

The second special feature is a free games feature where you receive five spins, with a prize multiplier that increases with each spin. You'll receive 1x for the first, 2x for the second spin and so forth. The feature can be retriggered once. Finally, the last of the special features is another free spins feature, but this time you'll be awarded 25 free spins with a 3x multiplier, and this can be retriggered and earn you more chances to land bigger winning combinations.

Final Thoughts

This Japanese-inspired slot is culturally rich, with stunning graphics and an unbeatably original theme. While there are undoubtedly a few similar slots out there, this is not a common game theme by any means. This game is also compatible with most mobile devices, such as Android and IOS. It can be played on the go, and for free in demo mode.
