Samurai Code (Reel Kingdom) – Slot Review
Reel Kingdom shifts from their fishing theme to embrace an Asian-inspired motif. The game background is set within a traditional building adorned with weapons and flags, framed by a golden reel border. Symbols include the standard 10 to A for low-paying icons, with premium symbols featuring items like samurai swords. The artwork effectively captures Asian influences, particularly in the architecture, but the visuals and theme choice, while well-executed, lack uniqueness.
Samurai Code features a 5-reel by 4-row setup with 12 fixed pay lines. This high variance slot has an RTP of 96.08% and a maximum win capped at 4,000x your bet. Betting ranges from £0.12 to £240.
Samurai Code Symbols & Pay Table
The game includes 12 symbols: five low-paying symbols represented by 10, J, Q, K, and A, and five premium symbols depicted as Fish, Dragonflies, Samurai Swords, Treasure Chests, and a Warrior. Additionally, there are Wild and Scatter symbols. The highest paying symbol is the Warrior, which pays 200x for 5 across a pay line. Wilds substitute for all symbols except the Scatter. The Fish premium also serves as a Money Symbol, carrying random values between 2x and 4,000x your bet.
Samurai Code Features & Mechanics
Landing 3 or more Scatters during a base game spin triggers the Free Spins feature. Players receive 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins for landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters respectively. When 2 Scatters land in the base game, there’s a chance a third will appear through an animation. During Free Spins, each Wild that lands is collected. For every 4th collected Wild, players receive a retrigger, awarding 10 additional spins and increasing the Multiplier for Money Symbol collections. The Multiplier increases to 2x for the first retrigger, 3x for the second, and 10x for the third. Retriggered spins play after the initial Free Spins end. The feature cannot be retriggered beyond the third time. An Ante Bet option is available, increasing your bet size for a higher chance to trigger the Free Spins feature in the base game.
Randomly, when there are only 1 or 2 Wild Symbols on the screen, Fish Money Symbols can appear in random positions. Additionally, 1 or 2 Samurai Swords can randomly appear and pull the reels up to reveal Wild and Money Symbols. This feature can be purchased for 100x your chosen stake size.
Conclusion
Overall, Samurai Code is unfortunately a clear reskin of Bigger Bass Blizzard, with a new theme choice and visuals. Besides the theme change we see repetition within the mechanics too. The core is a Free Spins feature with an increasing Multiplier for each retrigger up to 10x and a Money Collect. I want to see something new and different from Reel Kingdom.
