Shinobi Spirit Slot Information

The Japanese village of Shinobi Spirit is tranquil and somewhat mystical. We’re looking at green grass from above, and a river is running in the bottom left corner. To the right is an old wooden house, and the low saturated colors help create a feeling of ancient times. The five transparent reels are on top of the grass field, and the spin button is down to the right. To make a win, you need to land at least 3 of the same type of symbols on a payline, going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and you can play the game on mobile phones, notepads, and desktop computers.

There are 8 regular paying symbols in the game. The lower-paying ones are green, blue, purple, and red signs. Landing a 5-of-a-kind win with them awards between 1X and 2.5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are barrel, lantern, bamboo, and dragon orb, awarding between 5X and 100X the bet. The Bamboo also has a cash prize when it lands on reels 1-4 that can be collected by the Shinobi Symbol. The Scatter Symbol can trigger the Shinobi Bonus Game, and it pays 20X and 100X the bet for landing 4 or 5 symbols. There is no Wild Symbol, but the bonus game has several extra Event Symbols.

Shinobi Spirit Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Shinobi Spirit?

You can win up to 20,000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Shinobi Spirit?

The features are Bamboo Power, Scatter Boost, Shinobi Bonus Game, and Bonus Buy.

Bamboo Power

The Bamboo Symbol can land on all reels in the base game, and it has a cash prize between 1X and 1,000X when it lands on reels 1-4. The Shinobi Symbol, depicted by the sword-carrying ninja, can land on any position on the fifth reel. Whenever he turns up, he slices all Bamboo Symbols on the same row and collects their cash values. 

Scatter Boost

Activating the Scatter Boost puts more Scatter Symbols to the reels, increasing the chance of triggering the Shinobi Bonus Game. The Scatter Boost costs half your bet and increases the RTP to 96.67%.

Shinobi Bonus Game

Landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols anywhere on the grid triggers the Shinobi Bonus Game. For 4 or 5 Scatters, you’re also awarded 20X and 100X the bet. The grid is expanded with an extra row to 5x5, and only Shinobi Symbols, Bamboo Prize Symbols, and special Event Symbols can land during the feature.

The feature starts with at least one Shinobi Symbol on the edges of the grid, except in a corner position, and it continues as long as at least one Shinobi is present. The Shinobi Symbols always face inwards, looking down if they’re on the top row, up from the bottom row, and to the left or right if they’re on reels 1 or 5. They will always slice a symbol in their facing direction, and if 2 Shinobis slash the same Bamboo, it will double in value. Each Bamboo is removed after being slashed but stays on the reels if it’s untouched.

Each Shinobi has 3 lives, depicted by 3 red hearts. Every spin a Shinobi gets to slice a symbol with its sword, it gains a life up to the maximum of 3. Every spin a Shinobi is inactive, it loses a life. When a Shinobi loses all lives, it disappears from the reels.

The Event Symbols can award bonus modifiers, which will give you the following benefits whenever a ninja sword slices them:

Green Cube = Comes with a number that it adds to all Bamboo Prize Symbols on the grid.

Frenzy Mask = The Shinobi starts a frenzy by slashing in the best-paying direction, starting at the mask’s position before going to the edge of the slashed direction and repeating the process until no more targets are in view.

Shuriken = The Shinobi slash in the best-paying new direction.

Shinobi Master = The Shinobi Master, or Golden Shinobi, has 6 lives instead of 3. Whenever he slashes a Bamboo Prize Symbol, that symbol’s value is added to all other Bamboo Prize Symbols that haven’t been slashed.

The Shinobi Bonus Game ends when no more Shinobi Symbols are present or when the max win of 20,000X the bet has been reached. The probability of taking home the max win is 1 in 19.76 million spins.

Bonus Buy

The Shinobi Bonus Game is for sale for 100X the bet, and the Bonus Buy feature has an RTP of 97.18%.

Shinobi Spirit Slot Conclusion

Shinobi Spirit has great graphics and engaging gameplay. The symbols are easy to distinguish, and we appreciate that it’s possible to make regular wins with the Bamboo Symbols, which also are Cash Symbols when they land on reels 1-4. Every time a Shinobi Symbol turns up on the fifth reel, it uses its ninja powers to slash all Bamboo Symbols on the same row, collecting their cash values.

The Shinobi Bonus Game is a respins game that takes the Bamboo Power feature several steps further. One cool thing is that each Shinobi that lands has its own life, meaning there’s a separate spin counter for each ninja, and the game continues as long as you have at least one fighter on the grid.

You can also make nice wins with the Event Symbols that add value to the Bamboo Prize Symbols and gives the Shinobi other special powers. Best of all is the Shinobi Master, who has 6 lives and adds a Prize Symbol’s value to all other symbols whenever he slashes one.

Print Studios gives us a solid RTP of 96.26%, and it becomes even better, 96.67% if you use the Scatter Boost. The Bonus Buy also has a generous RTP of 97.18%. The max win of 20,000X the bet is another sweet detail with this game. Another excellent Japanese-themed game is Bushido Ways xNudge, where classic samurai characters can extend the grid and increase the 1,024 ways to win up to 24,576. If you want more fantasy, we highly recommend Wazdan’s Midnight in Tokyo, where samurai cats can trigger the Bonus Jackpot Game.

Shinobi Spirit from Print Studios has an innovative respins feature where each ninja warrior fights with their own life bar.
