On the 5×3 grid, crossed with 243 winways you will find beautifully rendered symbols like Pagodas, Shields, Ships, and of course, the 2 top regular symbols are honourable Samurai. Two female warriors – Onna-Musha – are included on the paytable as Wilds and Scatters and are both paid generously (see below).
The Samurai Way online slot comes with ordinary settings: Medium Volatility, 95.98% RTP and a hit rate of around 30%. All accompanied by a combative score, completed with swooshing sword sound effects to keep the player engaged with every spin.
A few features set this slot apart from many other games. Firstly, there is the Archery Bonus Mini-game, which is nerve-wracking and amusing at the same time. Your timing skills are tested to the max, but practice makes perfect and after a few test rounds you’ll get the hang of it. Secondly, there are extremely high Multipliers in Free Spins – up to 30x – which is definitely something to look forward to.
As usual, KA Gaming offers a wide range of bets, in this case, capped at 150 CAD, but they are known for stretching them all the way up to 2000 CAD. Not many of us can afford even 1 of those posh spins, but still, nice of the developer to keep the High-rollers in mind as well. Plus, with a Max win of 8100x the bet, it’s certain – this slot will appeal to them.
Overall, you should not anticipate huge wins here, but the game does preserve the balance nicely. We recommend it (with real deposits) to bettors favouring middle-risk sessions, who can indulge here on gradually increasing the capital, rather than relying on a single spin win.
