Samurai's Katana Slot Review

Samurai's Katana Slot Overview

Samurai's Katana is a casino slot from Push Gaming. Katana is the name of the samurai's sword, known for having a curved single-edged blade and a long grip to fit two hands. It was used by the samurais in feudal Japan. However, the samurais in this game are a couple of urban kids pictured in a cyberpunk style. On their adventures, you will come across Nudging Wild Symbols, similar to the developer's classic game Tiki Tumble. Push Gaming has also added some cool prize symbols worth up to 100X, which are awarded whenever they line up with two Wild Symbols.

Anastasiia Mysan, Game Producer, had this to say about the game:

"Samurai's Katana invites you to an exclusive world of cyberpunk samurais. Experience exciting features like nudging Wild Stacks, reminiscent of another Push Gaming fan-favourite, Tiki Tumble. I love the addition of the Instant Prizes that pay both ways when forming at least 3-of-a-kind matching combinations with Wilds. The most exciting thing about the game is the Free Spins feature, allowing you to climb to a high multiplier in very few spins and continue the game even more by landing Wild Stacks."

Samurai's Katana is a video slot from Push Gaming with 5 reels, 4 rows, and 20 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.1, and the Max.bet is 100.

The volatility is high, and the max win is capped at 10,000X the bet.

Samurai's Katana Slot Information

Japan is known for being futuristic, and this game looks like we're visiting a future Japan. We're looking at an apartment building with purple and pink lights. There is some graffiti on the walls, and electrical cables run through the upper parts of the screen. To make a win, you need to land 3 or more symbols of the same type on any payline, starting on the first reel to the left. You can play Samurai's Katana on mobile phones and other digital devices.

The lower-paying symbols in cyberpunk Japan are J, Q, K, and A in the shape of computer chips. They award 1X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are gun, rollerblade, female samurai, and male samurai. It's worth noting that the samurais were military nobility that was abolished in the late 1870s, so the characters here are as fictional as they can be. The higher-paying symbols award between 4X and 50X the bet. The Wild Symbols substitute all mentioned symbols but not the Scatter, Gamble Scatter, or Instant Prize Symbols.

Samurai's Katana Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Samurai's Katana?

You can win up to 10,000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Samurai's Katana?

The features are Wild Symbol, Instant Prize Symbol, Nudging Wilds Feature, Gamble Feature, Free Spins, and Feature Buy.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a W on top of two katanas. There's also a stacked Wild depicted by a golden face mask with a W on the forehead. It can cover all 4 positions on a reel. In the base game, the stacked Wilds can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. In the Free Spins, they appear on all reels.

The Wild Symbols substitute all regular symbols in making wins and are also the best paying on their own, awarding 60X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. They don't substitute the Scatter, Gamble Scatter, or Instant Prize Symbols.

Instant Prize Symbol

Instant Prize Symbols come in values of 1X, 2X, 5X, 10X, 25X, 50X, 100X, 250X, 500X, and 1,000X. They appear on reels 1 and 5 in both the base game and the Free Spins. Matching them with at least 2 Wild Symbols pay their values. Matching combinations can be made both from the left and right.

Nudging Wilds Feature

The Nudging Wilds Feature kicks in as soon as a Nudging Wild lands. After landing, the symbol will nudge down one position while the other reels spin. The process is repeated until the symbol has left the reels.

Gamble Feature

This is not the regular Gamble Feature that comes in many older slot games, where the player has a chance to double or quadruple a win. This Gamble Feature is a foreplay to the Free Spins and triggers when the Scatter Symbol appears on the first reel at the same time as the Gamble Scatter shows up on the fifth.

The Gamble Scatter has a multiplier of 3X, 5X, 10X, 25X, or 100X or 1, 2, or 3 guaranteed Wild Stacks. You can either take what you have been given and start the Free Spins or press the gamble button and hope for more. Just be aware that you can lose the entire Free Spins feature if luck isn't on your side.

Blanks will spin with prize segments, and you're awarded whatever the Gamble Feature stops at.

Free Spins

The Free Spins start with stacked Wilds on reels 2 and 4 and the multiplier the player won in the Gamble Feature. On every spin, the Wilds nudge down and add to the Multiplier Level Meter. The multiplier level increases by 1 for every five nudges. The multiplier is used on all wins, no matter if they're regular payline wins or Prize Symbol wins.

There is no preset number of spins. Instead, you keep on playing the feature as long as a part of a Nudging Wild is visible on the grid.

Feature Buy (Bonus Buy)

If you're willing to open your wallet, you can try out all the sweet features. Paying 18.8X the bet will give you 2 Wild Stacks, and 83X will give you 3. You can also pay 30X for a random number of Wild Stacks.

Playing the Free Spins with a 1X, 3X, or 10X multiplier sets you back 51X, 118.5X, or 488.9X the bet. Paying 100X the bet will trigger the Free Spins with a random multiplier.

Samurai's Katana Slot Conclusion

Samurai's Katana is a cyberpunk adventure with urban samurais wielding katanas in a futuristic setting. Push Gaming has crafted a slot experience that blends traditional elements with modern flair, all while keeping players on their toes with exciting features. Fans of Tiki Tumble will probably be thrilled to see the Nudging Wilds Feature. Whenever a Nudging Wild symbol lands, it will move down one position while the other reels perform the consecutive spin.

Another cool excitement is the Instant Prize Symbols that offer rewards up to 100X your bet. All you need to do is match them next to two Wilds, starting either from left or right. The symbols appear in both the base game and the Free Spins. Talking about the Free Spins, the feature starts with Nudging Wilds on reels 2 and 4, and it doesn't finish until all Nudging Wilds have left the screen. Keep on landing more, and the Free Spins will continue. On top of that is a juicy multiplier that grows during your spins.

Push Gaming is usually generous with the RTP, and there's no difference in Samurai's Katana. At 96.40%, the return to the player is quite a bit above the industry standard. The max win of 10,000X the bet is also solid. It's the amount that many of the developer's games have, such as the ice fishing game Big Bite.

Samurai's Katana by Push Gaming offers an exhilarating ride through a world where tradition meets innovation, all with the potential to strike it big.
