Samurai are one of the most recognizable and reproducible symbols of Japan and we are delighted that Red Rake was inspired by this theme to create Ways of the Samurai, which was widely released on 09/30/2021. During the session, the player will explore Japanese feudal castles and look for their treasures on 5 reels to return home with a max win. In this review, we'll cover all aspects of this release, including volatility, RTP, jackpots (if any), special symbols, and add a few words about the design.

Theme

7 

We admit that we are fans of Asian-themed games. Japan is an amazing country in which beautiful nature, modern architecture, traditions, and the bustle of modern life are harmoniously combined. In this slot, Red Rake was able to convey the beauty of feudal Japan through lush autumn trees and lightly moss-covered holy buildings. The background takes the visual representation of the game to the next level, and the symbols allow you to learn more about the life of the samurai.

Katanas, Kabuto - a Japanese type of helmet, arrows, and samurai appear here and there on the playing field. They have a high-quality glossy design and fit into the general atmosphere to a limited extent. The table below shows what payments the player receives when landing combinations.

To get a winning combination, you must land 3 to 5 matching symbols on 1 payline. If there is more than 1 win on the line, only the highest of them will be paid. Combinations are made only from left to right. All symbols participating in the combo will disappear from the grid.

Overall Rating

8
Well, we've seen a lot of "bad" slots lately, and what a blessing that Ways of the Samurai won't be among them! This is a gorgeous-looking Asian-themed game that offers some pretty simple but interestingly presented bonus features that really boost the gameplay so you can get the max win. The potential of 6,338x the bet is what we expected from a medium to high volatility game and the only things we didn't like were the relatively low RTP and low max bet.
