Samurai’s Path Slots
A samurai’s life is devoted to trust, loyalty, bravery and high moral ground. That’s probably why, most of the oriental youth finds it difficult to further this excellent tradition that has come to be admired equally well in the west. If the life of a samurai, with its challenges, tales of fortitude and incorruptibility, has ever enticed you, Samurai’s Path is perhaps the slot that you should be trying your hands at next.
Developed by Spinomenal, an up and coming leader in the world of iGaming, this is a slot replete with visual attractions, easy gameplay and abundance of bonus rounds and free spin features. So, get your act together, build your character as strong as you can and let your katana do all the talking. If everything goes as per the plan, you should be just a few paces away from striking it big and taking a big jackpot home!
A new take from a new name
Spinomenal is certainly not a developer that many slot fans are likely to be familiar with. But the fact of the matter is, in all of 24 months or so, it has managed to blaze a trail in the online slot gaming industry with slots that entertain, indulge and pay out decently such as the popular Nuts Commander slot. Of course, Spinomenal slots are less likely to appeal to high-rollers and margin-exploiters, but still, there is a huge chunk of slot-loving-demographic that craves for slots like these.
Samurai’s Path is a non-assuming slot that relies on simple 2D graphics and classic oriental music that gels great with the theme. Being HTML5 based, it is quick to load and you can enjoy this free slot on mobile or desktop.
The gameplay: A test of character
Spinomenal has employed a strategy of keeping things safe as far as the gameplay setup is concerned. As soon as you launch the slot, you are greeted with 5 familiar reels and 25 fixed paylines. The reel to payline ratio here – 0.20 – is optimum, and presents you with ample combination opportunities.
The symbols used here are quite interesting, too. They are meant to bring the true samurai spirit to the game, and their range includes everything from samurai training kits, their beloved (and quite deadly) katana, various samurai masters and of course, some surprises (more about these later).
The thing to note here is that unlike other Spinomenal slots, combos are not measured both ways here. That might play against slotters, but that’s fine, because we’ve got a host of other power features to take care of us!
Features galore
The real meat on the bones is put on, so to speak, by a variety of special features. Apart from these, the base game would have been quite lacklustre, and that is why, it is of utmost importance that players who aim to make it big with Samurai’s Path be aware of these.
The wild of the slot – I
There would be no brownie points for guessing what the wild symbol would be in a slot that prides itself around oriental culture. A golden dragon – destroyer of enemies and bringer of good fortune – is one of three wilds here and it has every power that a wild is supposed to carry, and then some. It is an expanding wild, meaning that it can expand all over the slot, multiplying your chances of winning and winnings themselves manifolds – a true treat for those who have luck on their side!
The wild of the slot – II
Having a wild like dragon is a luxury in itself. But imagine the rewards if you have another wild to boot. That’s not a reverie, as far as Samurai’s Path is concerned, because the other wild of this slot, the Samurai Monk, is just as lucky for you. It is something that developers have chosen to call a ‘sticky wild’, in that it sticks to one position (in the free spins mode, though) as long as whole spin cycle is on.
The wild of the slot – III
Oh, wait – is there another…. YES!
We’ve got a third wild – the Geisha – that not only brings good luck but multiplies your winnings with a random multiplier of up to 10x!
Decent Path to take
Take three wilds out and Samurai’s Path is a merely enjoyable slot. But with these three wilds, it rises to a whole new level – entertaining, engaging and of course, rewarding.
High rollers have nothing to gain here, but for those who just want to have a bit of high-adrenaline-rush that money slots invariably offer, it would be rather impossible to find a more fitting slot!
