Rising Sun - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Japan has a nickname, The Land of the Rising Sun, and the Rising Sun slot is themed around everything to do with the country and the customs they celebrate. Players can enjoy a very authentic looking slot with a lot of Japanese styles being added into the gameplay. There are also a couple of bonus features which includes a lucrative free spins round.

Overall Theme

The theme is similar to Koi Princess demo slot, taking on the culture and style of Japan. The reels are set out to appear as if they are on a roll of parchment, having been unrolled from the top of the screen. On the reels are where the symbols will appear and the whole screen is encased in lotus blossoms and the title of the game.

In the background you will see a typical Japanese village which, of course, is being illuminated by the rising sun. You will see close ups of various buildings and a lot of artefacts from the Japanese cultures appear on the reels as the symbols for the game. These include koi carps, dragon statues, bonsai trees and many other icons representing the theme.

RTP & Volatility

The RTP of Rising Sun hasn’t been set yet so this is something we can’t comment on at this time. However, the volatility has been set at low. This means you can enjoy quite a few wins rolling in regularly as you play but they’re not going to be for outstanding amounts of money.

Rising Sun Bonus Features

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol is represented by the girl with a fan. It can substitute in for any symbol in the game apart from the scatter and free spins symbols. Because it substitutes in for other symbols it helps you to create bigger wins.

Two Fish - 2x multiplier

Three Fish - 5x multiplier

Free Spins

The second scatter symbol in the game is represented by the traditional Japanese lucky cat. Landing three or more of these symbols anywhere on the reels will automatically activate the free spins round. Below are the amount of free spins you can win for the symbol combinations.

Three Cats - 10 free spins

Four Cats - 15 free spins

Five Cats - 20 free spins

During the free spins round you can retrigger respins by landing a further three or more scatter symbols on the reels. All wins are also tripled during your free spins which leads to bigger prizes.

Our Verdict

Rising Sun seems like a good balance between modern day Japan and historical Japanese culture. The features means the gameplay is kept exciting but we wish there was more to do than just a free spins bonus round. Despite this we would say Rising Sun is worth a spin.
