Katana slot

Novomatic released Katana slot in 2012. The slot comes with a lot of features; the most important - quite nice graphics (but still looks terrible to the fan). In general, it is an excellent machine, which is fun to play with. It combines classic and old times but still looks older because it takes players back to the times and life of the samurais.

Incidentally, in the land-based casinos, this game is called (though not always) the Shogun (Shogun) and quite markedly different from its online version. For example, in the bonus game, as many as 15 free spins start instead of 10, (which increases the dispersion).

Personal testers opinion

Out of the total prize pool, for which 95.02% of all bets are reserved, 62% will go to the rewards in usual spins. The probability of getting a hit reaches up to 26.53% in them. During testing, free spins are triggered out with a frequency of 0.44% (Statistically, every 226th spin). The maximum payout reached up to 796x bet. Not a good machine for bonus hunters, because you will not manage to fulfil the wagering requirements - 3,68 out of 10.

Bonus

Three scatters triggers 10 free spins. And Wild (image Shogun) in the bonus round is extended to the entire length of the reel, forming a lovely combination. The principle here is the same as, for example, in Beech of-Ra - three vertical symbols are replaced by one large, which shows the Shogun in full growth.

So, to hit a big win in the Katana slot, you have to trigger a bonus (which, incidentally, is not so easy). However, if you catch five Shoguns in line, you win up to 50,000 coins! And that, you know, is a lot of money (especially if you play at a maximum rate of 100 Coins). It takes a lot of time and money. But if the machine does decide to give a prize - do not be surprised at its size.
