Ninja Raccoon - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

The Ninja Raccoon slot is one of the online slots made by CQ9Gaming. It is played on 3x2 reels with two paylines that pay from left to right.

The game has a wild symbol on each reel in the shape of the eponymous mammal, which is a paying symbol. The other paying symbols are a pot of gold, a sack of gold, and a shuriken. 

The wild substitutes for the other symbols; what’s more, when it helps to form a winning line on reel two, a multiplier will apply to the win. Another bonus when the wild helps to form a winning line is that it can make the other reels spin. During the respin, reels one and three are covered with the wild.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack 

Given this designer’s love of all things oriental, it is no surprise to find that Ninja Raccoon has an Asian theme with pots and sacks of treasure and - rather incongruously - a shuriken. This is the ninja twist, we imagine. A further twist is that this is one of the few online slots with a 3x2 layout and just two paylines.

The graphics are vibrant and the reels sit inside the entrance to a temple located in a busy night street scene. The soundtrack is a classic oriental tune played on stringed instruments.

Ninja Raccoon RTP and variance 

The Ninja Raccoon online slot has no official RTP anywhere on the website. Players familiar with the online slots from this designer will not be surprised by this, but they should also know that CQ9Gaming usually offers slots with an RTP of around the industry average of 96 per cent.

We would rate the game as high variance. If this kind of volatility appeals to you and is a factor in how you choose online slots, take a look at the Jammin Jars slot from Push Gaming. This is also available as one of our free casino slots here at Slots Temple.

How to play Ninja Raccoon

You have little control over this game, but here are a few tips to guide you around the screen and controls:

1. Wait for the main game screen to load and set your wager via the + and - buttons above and below the spin button to the right of the reels.
2. Next, click the menu icon in the bottom left-hand corner. A new set of icons will open and you can mute the sound with the speaker icon.
3. Click ‘information’ to open a new set of screens. On the first, you will see the eponymous wild along with a brief description of how it works.
4. On the following screen you will see the paytable.
5. Screen three explains what happens in the free game feature, with screen four explaining the paylines.
6. Return to the main screen to engage turbo spin or auto spin by pressing the arrow on the spin button to reveal two new icons.
7. These features must both be halted manually.
8. You are all set to play by hitting the spin button.

Ninja Raccoon is available as one of the free casino slots here at Slots Temple, with playing it in demo mode a great way to get a feel for the payouts and gameplay. Always set yourself a budget and play responsibly, taking advantage of timeout and self-exclusion functions if necessary.

Wins formed with the wild can make the other reels respin once. During this spin, the wild fills reels one and three. Just one spin is awarded.

Ninja Raccoon review: our verdict 

This is an unusual game from CQ9Gaming with its 3x2 reels and just two paylines. Full symbols do not always appear on the reels, so it may take some time to land a win; however, the wild is always lurking to help form a winning line and add a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x, which is a great bonus.

The single respin is a little disappointing, but it is again helped by the wild filling the outside reels.

There is no official RTP from this designer; however, the game is fun and the variance should appeal to lots of players, especially as it is combined with a wide bet spread.
