Asuka X Samurai Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Just be prepared for a medium to high volatility game with a relatively low RTP of 95.18%.

Asuka X Samurai Theme and Storyline

The dramatic soundtrack complete with Asian-inspired gongs will really get you in the mood for an epic battle, although it doesn’t necessarily complement the child-like graphics on the reels. The cartoon-style symbols are at odds with the background reels, which are created in a completely different style If you do like this theme, however, you could also take a look at the Kawa the Neon Samurai slot.

Asuka X Samurai RTP and Variance

This choice of Maverick Gaming free slots is a medium to high variance game with quite a low theoretical return to player ratio of 95.18 per cent.

How to Play Asuka X Samurai

This is a super-simple game to play and the controls are relatively clear, especially when you play on the desktop screen. To give you a head start, however, here’s a few tips that may help you enter the battle with ease:

1. The spin button is in the centre to the right of the reels on the desktop screen.
2. Above and below this spin tab are the plus and minus symbols that you need to alter your bet. Your chosen stake is displayed below the reels.
3. Below the minus tab there are two more controls - the autospin button and the tab to choose to play in fast mode.
4. You can turn the soundtrack off by using the speaker button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
5. The information menu is initially not that easy to find but you will discover the i tab you need in the top left-hand corner of the reels. In our opinion, this needs to be clearer as the white letter simply melts into the background trees. This tab actually failed to display anything when we played on the desktop, but we’re hoping that this was just a temporary glitch. We’re sure that this is normally where you will find the game’s paytable if it is working correctly.
6. If you are playing on a mobile device, the i tab is in the bottom left-hand corner and this did display the paytable when we gave it a try on our smartphone.
7. All wins pay out from left to right, although scatter wins pay out for symbols anywhere on the reels.

Asuka X Samurai Bonus Features

The game has a Sakura Wild symbol and this can replace other symbols except for the scatter icons to help you to create wins. This wild can appear stacked on the third, fourth and fifth reels.

The Sakura scatters hold the key to the free spins feature. How many games you get in the free spins bonus depends on the number of scatters you land. You could win:

15 free spins for 3 scatters

20 free spins for 4 scatters

25 free spins for 5 scatters

Scatters also pay out for combinations of their own. You can earn 5x your stake for 3 scatters anywhere on the reels, 50x your stake for four, and 250x your stake for 5.

Free spins in this slot cannot be retriggered but scatter wins do pay out wherever they land on the reels and are based on a multiplier of your total stake. During the free spins feature, you can also benefit from progressive multipliers which get bigger with each consecutive win. These start at 2x and can increase to 10x.

Another bonus in the game is the Princess Sakura Expanding Wild. She can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 and offers a guaranteed win. She will not come into play during the free spins bonus, however.

Asuka x Samurai also has a special feature in that there are 5 different levels to the game. You move through the levels depending on how many times you spin the reels. There is a spin meter on the screen which tracks your spins and shows you how near you are to moving onto a new level. You will need to complete between 50 and 70 spins to move onto the next level. The meter will reset once you reach the fifth level or if you end your playing session. The level that you are playing at does not affect the return to player ratio of the game.

Asuka X Samurai Review

This isn’t the best-looking slot around but it does have plenty of features to keep the interest and excitement levels high. The downside to this is the relatively high volatility and low RTP of the game which may make some of the best wins hard to find.
