Legend of the Ninja Slot Machine - Play Legend of the Ninja Slot Free

Introduction 

Legend of the Ninja is an online game based on a traditional arcade fighting game. There are no reels and no symbols; instead, you win by your fighter defeating an opponent. You will receive a prize for various outcomes, including knocking out your opponent and triggering a double knockout. This isn't anything like a regular slots game, so some players might switch off immediately; however, if you are looking for something a little different, this might just be the game for you. You will find lots of other innovative slots in our collection of Funfair free play slots.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

The game is very much based on a traditional arcade fighting game such as the Street Fighter series. The game set-up looks just like an arcade game, so you would be forgiven for thinking you could control your character; however, the game works like a slot, with wins randomly triggered. You have a choice of three buttons that let you decide whether to hit your foe with a high, middle or low strike. 

The graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth and slick. Each round takes a while thanks to all the animations that have to play out each time. This might put off players who prefer fast-flowing games. 

The soundtrack is exactly what you would expect to find on an arcade fighting game, comprising good old-fashioned computer game sound effects and jingles. Anyone who likes this theme should also check out the Ninja Vs Samurai slot. 

Legend of the Ninja RTP and variance

The RTP of the game is between 96.33 and 97.25 per cent. It depends on which of the four game modes you choose to play - you can read about these below. 

This RTP is slightly above average for an online slot. Playing for free is fine, but it is not a good idea to play real money slots without knowing the RTP. Generally, the higher the RTP, the better the returns. The average RTP for an online slot game is around 96 per cent. You will see a few paying out over 97 per cent and some as low as the mid-80s, so always check before committing real money to any slot or online game. There are no details about the variance of this slot from the developer. 

 
How to play Legend of the Ninja

This is an easy game to play, although nothing like a regular online slot. You will find full instructions below. First, let's take a look at the different versions of the game you can choose from:

• Battle is a survival game in which you will keep fighting and defeating opponents until either you beat them all or your character gets knocked out.
• Ninja is a single fight. This is probably the best place to start if you want to familiarize yourself with the game.
• Samurai is the best of three fights. You will need to win two to claim the top prize. 
• Shogun is also three fights, but you will have to win them all. 

Here are full instructions for how to play:

1. Launch the game and watch the intro screens to get an insight into Legend of the Ninja.
2. When the game opens fully, choose your character. The character on the left of the screen is yours. You can change the character by using the arrows underneath.
3. Choose your bet size by using the arrows on either side of the bet display at the bottom of the screen to scroll through the available options. 
4. Decide which of the four game modes you wish to play (as outlined above).
5. Click on the game mode you have chosen to play and the game will launch.
6. In the gaming screen, your character will be on the left. Press any of the three arrow buttons to direct a hit at your opponent. 

Cash wins are awarded for knockouts, including double knockouts. 

Bet sizes & paytable wins 

The smallest bet in this game is 100 coins and themaximum is 8,000. This might change across different sites, especially when playing using different currencies, so always check before committing real cash. 

There isn't a regular paytable, as this game doesn't pay out in the same way as a regular slot; however, the biggest win possible is 100x your total bet, which is paid out in the Shogun game mode if you win all three battles. The next highest paying game is the Samurai mode, in which winning two battles will land you 10x your total bet. We suggest you take a proper look at the payout explanations before playing this game for real money because there are a lot of permutations. 

In all game modes, the game ends if you are knocked out. In the case of a double knockout, you receive a small cash prize; if you are knocked out straight, you won't win anything. 

Legend of the Ninja bonus features

There are no bonus features or free spins in this game. You choose one of the four modes of gameplay and play through until you win or are knocked out by your opponent. There are no extra games or features.
