Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

What’s it all about?    

Samurai Girl is based on a popular Japanese manga story which features Chiaki, a beautiful young warrior woman living in Tokyo. When a samurai army of zombies threaten her city, Chiaki takes up the challenge to defeat them.

Players get to join in the action-packed fight to stop the zombies before they cause havoc, while also enjoying plenty of opportunities to boost their winnings pot along the way.

It’s got the look

The characters are well drawn and fit their roles perfectly, while the background images are exactly what you would expect to see in a storyline which blends elements of modern Japanese culture, such as manga, with a futuristic metropolis.

Icons featured include Chiaki herself, a zombie, an orange light, Chinese writing in several colours, plus, of course, the standard playing card letters.

City sounds

Sirens and traffic, two sounds which are part of every city’s life, are blended into this game’s soundtrack along with a fast drum base which reflects the on-reel action.

Samurai Girl Variance & RTP

The RTP of 95% isn’t anything special to shout about, but being of low-medium variance, players can expect to see more regular (lower) payouts which maintain interest nicely.

How to Play Samurai Girl

This is an easy slot to understand as the controls are user friendly.

1.    Look first at the information section, which covers the rules and the paytable data so you know which icons to look out for.
2.    Try out autoplay and check how many automatic spins it can be set to make.
3.    Play around with the +/- symbols which are used to choose a stake. It’s easy to start low and then adjust if you want to later on.
4. Play in free/demo mode so you can become familiar with the way the game runs. This is a good opportunity to study the bonus options and take a few chances.

Quick payout guide

One of the most notable features about this slot is the dramatic difference between figures won for 5 matching icons, compared to 3. For example:

-    Chiaki/pink background pays [5x] 20, [4x] 1.60, down to [3x] 0.40.

-    The pirate/skeleton (beige) [5x] 10, [4x] 1.40, [3x] 0.40.

-    The lilac Chinese hat [5x] 6, [4x] 1.20, [3x] 0.36.

-    The Chinese writing symbols vary from the highest payer (pink), 5x of which equals 4 coins, while 3x pays just 0.32, to the lowest (mint green) where 5x = 2.80 and 3x drops to 0.20.

-    The picture cards pay between 2.40 and 0.10 for 5x - 3x across the reels.

Samurai Girl Bonus Features

This slot has a couple of unique and fun bonuses to enjoy. First up is:

The Free Spins round

An interactive approach involves players being given three opportunities to connect with, and wipe out, the green virus. Pandemic Free Spins are the prize, though how many you get depends on how successful you were in eliminating the virus. There are no shortcuts in this game, but the effort makes it all more meaningful than the average slot.

The Boss Battle round

This is your opportunity to win not only more spins but other types of prize, including extra coins, too.

The Boss Battle is triggered by 3 or more scatters together, which in turn are created by the player collecting enough ‘zombie save’ symbols throughout gameplay.

Chiaki takes on a shogun, with each of them having 3 lives. Players try to hit the boss, and although either a hit or a miss still brings free spins, a hit means the shogun loses a life, and a miss means Chiaki suffers that fate.

The game runs until both run out of lives, then the free spins feature kicks off, so it could be quite a good earner if they are maximised.

The Wild Reel

This feature may not be as dynamic as other bonuses, but it is still a nice addition to the slot, and one that offers up a whole reel of wilds to boost the chances of a win.

The Multipliers

a)    Randoms
These pop up to surprise you in the dead centre of the screen, awarding player 5x, 8x, or 10x boosts to a win.

b)    Zombie Slash
This also makes random appearances, but during the main games rather than the bonus sections. Count the times Chiaki manages to slash a zombie, as each cut automatically awards one multiplier boost, with 4 slashes and 4x being the max possible.

Conclusion

Fans of fast-moving online slots with strong storylines won’t be disappointed by Samurai Girl, despite the sometimes strange visuals.

We were especially intrigued by the city centre street scene which acts as scenery to the game, and its wire fencing in the backdrop which looks like a cross between a chicken shed and a celebrity dressing room table.

If you’d like to explore similar slots Hanzo's Dojo is worth a look, having a similar general ‘Far East’ theme, and a good package of graphics and prizes to bag a sweet deal.
