Exactly in the battles to crush the chiefs and seize control of the neighbouring territory, the need for an army (samurais groups) emerged – claiming victories in protection and attack, which in turn led to the rise of some brave Japanese warriors, glorified with incredible stories.
Skilled in combat with their knives and katanas, some have been worshiped as “sword saints”. Unmatched in body force and tactics, they have survived countless duels, won multiple skirmishes, fought for honour and power for their masters, which is why they have been extolled in folk legends, books, art and now in this video slot.
The theme is noble, the design is fine, but the symbols of the game are too congested for our taste, plus the music overlay is distracting (which happens in many slots from this Studio, by the way). Another recurring attribute of KA Gaming‘s creations (here too) is the wide betting choices – up to 175 CAD. As its ‘foremother slot’, this game comes with 243 winways, presented on a standard 5×3 frame. It exhibits a Medium Volatility game style, with a sufficient RTP of 96% and a high hit rate (over 42%).
Although the dauntless heroes are shown in their full-fledged warrior side in the Free Spins with up to 7x Multiplier, the maximum slot potential is just 600x the total bet in a single spin (insufficient by today’s standards).
During the base game, you can frequently receive 5OAK or other supposedly strong combinations (with Wild for example), but because of the weak paytable, the payoff is still not enough to keep the balance stable. Moreover, the anticipation of the Bonus round can take quite a long time, i.e. be prepared with sufficient kickoff balance. The frantic tempo during the main spins should’ve been improved by the double Wilds, but even that can become annoying after a while, as it doesn’t give a strong boost (money-wise).
All sides considered, we can only leave neutral recommendations for completing the wagering requirements and playing with real credits in the Japanese 7 Heroes slot, primarily because of the poor potential and declining popularity in the rank at many casinos (i.e. not capacious prize pool = not ripe to grant generous prizes).

Bonus Features of Japanese 7 Heroes slot
- Wilds – 7 (appearing on reels 1/3/5) and double 7’s (appearing on reels 2/4) equally act as Wild factors in the slot. They both perform the usual substitution (for all but Scatters) when winning combinations can be assembled, and besides they are the top value icons on the paytable (providing 17.14x the total bet for 7OAK). Naturally the double 7’s count as 2 symbols replacement, but alas no Wilds take part in the FS.
- Scatters & Free Spins – The warrior mask is the Scatter (generating 50x/10x/2x the bet for respectively 5/4/3OAK posted anywhere on the grid). Landing 3+ masks will secure a Bonus round consisting of always 7 FS and no option for extension or re-trigger. Each spin will render different (colour) Hero, expanded to a full middle reel, plus the corresponding kin symbol (of the same colour). A random win Multiplier (up to x7) will be assigned per Bonus spin.
