Play Mystic Japan for Free

The Far East is renowned for its beauty and elegance and the developer Red Rake Gaming has captured this perfectly with the graphics in this game.

With samurais, geisha girls and the stereotypical sumo fighters, you’ll be playing with some of the most iconic symbols of Japan.

The game is set in a tranquil landscape with the branches of cherry blossom trees framing the screen from both the left and the right. Amid the rolling green countryside there’s pagodas dotted around, creating the feeling of an authentic Japanese landscape.

On the reels you’ll find even more Oriental symbols including a gong, Geta (a type of traditional wooden flip flop), a fan, parasols, food with chopsticks, a samurai brandishing a katana (long sword) and a picturesque red bridge.

The characters in the foreground all wear big smiles, and if you look to the right you’ll spot a small golden dragon too. With red and gold being auspicious colours in the Far East cultures, there are plenty of both tones all over the game.

Mystic Japan is packed full of symbols and icons which symbolise the very best of the Far East and that includes the mythical golden dragon. However, when it comes to winning prizes you’ll need to line up symbols on the board.

There are 5 reels which are configured in the usual 5x3 set up, and these include a total of 40 paylines. Having such a high number of paylines can be useful when you’re trying to win prizes as it means you have extra chances to win. All of these paylines run from left to right on consecutive reels.

If you want to reduce the overall stake you can opt to reduce the number of paylines in play by using the controls below the reels. An alternate strategy to reducing the paylines is to lower the value of the coin. It’s up to you to determine the value of the coin and you can easily change this using the onscreen buttons. Retaining a full complement of paylines and reducing the value of the coin means you’ll still have the same chances of winning but any payout will be lower.

The coin value is set per payline, not as an overall bet so don’t forget to multiply these up to get an total bet. Clicking the spin button without working out what you’re betting could lead to a nasty surprise! The game will calculate it for you so there’s no need to do any vigorous mental workouts before you play.

As well as just matching up the main images, you can also get a bit of extra help from special symbols which appear on the reels.

The wild is a feature which appears in many different slots and is one that regular players will be very familiar with. Mystic Japan includes not just one, but two separate wilds, and this can help to boost the potential for winnings and the prizes which are available.

There’s a bonus phase too in Mystic Japan but there’s no complex side games which pop up for play. Instead, the player will benefit from sticky wilds, which means that the wild remains on the reels until a prize is won - no matter how long that takes!

As well as the regular wins, there’s “big wins” which are available on the reels too where you’ll find that you’re showered with gold coins!

If you want to simply take things easy, you can also use the Auto Spin feature. This starts the reels automatically while you sit back and relax. It won’t reduce your chances of winning and you can flip it back off whenever you’re ready to start playing manually again.

Mystic Japan by Red Rake Gaming is an online video slot which falls within the popular Far East genre. A much-loved theme by many gamers, this is Red Rake Gaming’s interpretation on this style of game. Simple enough for any player to follow, there’s some extra features to enjoy too, making it a suitable choice for all.
