Naughty Ninjas is an Anime style slot machine, which is offered by Wager Gaming. The theme does include ninjas on its reels, but not the kind that you would expect. Instead, there are a couple of anime characters that don’t wear the typical ninja outfit, with their enemies being a couple of monsters. Everything points to a typical Japanese style title, quirky and highly enjoyable if you like the way they do things.
The game’s layout is the same as in every major slot from Wager Gaming, with its 5 reels and 25 lines that are activated as needed. The re-spin feature it uses here is a bit unusual for these guys, but the scatter symbol and the wild are common in their slots. As for the biggest prize, it’s valued at $20,000.
Features of Naughty Ninjas
It’s not your typical Wager Gaming slot, as it uses a wild symbol and a scatter, but replaces the free spins with a re-spin feature.
Bubbles is the name of the character that takes the role of the wild. It’s a brunette girl with a red bandana around her head and holding a sword, looking more like a pirate than a ninja. It doesn’t stand out in any way feature wise though, simply acting as a substitute when it can help out with a new combo’s formation, and also awarding its own payouts which reach 2,000 coins.
Re-Spin Feature
The only other feature symbol offered in Naughty Ninjas is the Ninja Star scatter. It’s a very limited feature though, appearing only one reel and bringing with it only the re-spin feature, no prizes.
The re-spin is triggered whenever a single Ninja Star is present on the 3rd reel. It will expand and cover the entire 3rd reel, while the other four reels re-spin a single time. That scatter symbol becomes a wild for the duration of that re-spin and it can even replace the wild symbol.
Betting options and jackpots
When you form a wager in this game, your first decision should be how many lines you want to bet on, as the number of coins is determined by the answer. On each line you can use a coin of up to $10, but the minimum is at $0.01 so you can adjust the wager as your budget or strategy requires it. The highest bet possible is at $250.
You can win 2,000x the line bet at most, meaning up to $20,000 cash. The next best prize is at 1,000x/$10,000.
Design and symbols
The Anime inspiration is quite clear here, and the Japanese origin of the monsters and the main characters is easy to spot. The background picture shows us the two ninjas in an image with lots of red and black in it. On the reels, you get a collection of colored playing cards and the ninjas together with the monsters as the ones that pay better.
Symbols: Bubbles (2,000 coins, wild), Ninja Star (scatter), Ninja (1,000 coins), Octopus Monster (500 coins), Gorilla Monster (200 coins), One Eyed Monster (200 coins), Ace (150 coins), King (150 coins), Queen (125 coins), Jack (125 coins), Ten (100 coins) and Nine (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s a good fit for the true fans of the Anime style, but not everyone enjoys that kind of cartoon design. The Re-Spin feature is also very interesting, but the slot’s biggest prizes are a bit on the low side.
Naughty Ninjas can be found at any Wager Gaming casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
