A WMS slot machine, Samurai Master is indeed inspired by the Japanese samurai and by the country from which they come. For the most part, the latter is used as inspiration, with various Japanese buildings, coins, boats and other objects with obvious design inspiration from that country. WMS did an adequate job with it, and you’re probably going to find it an attractive slot machine, especially if you’re a fan of all things Japanese.
Samurai Master has a total of 30 paylines that you can form combinations on. The best features included here are the wild symbol, the scatter and the free spins. The slot’s jackpot is at $2,500.
Features of Samurai Master
What will probably get your attention among the features of Samurai Master will be the huge number of free spins that can be won with the help of the scatters. The wilds can also be quite valuable if you get them.
The Japanese Sign is the wild feature of the game, which as usual is capable of substituting for the other symbols, as long as they’re trying to form a regular combination. If the wild landed in the exact spot where the other symbol is needed, you get your new combo and the win that comes with it. Wilds don’t award prizes directly and they don’t replace scatters, but those are their only limitations.
Samurai Feature
You can get the slot’s free spins by landing between three and five scatter symbols, which you will recognize by the fact that they have the word Bonus on them and a gold disk behind it. You receive 10 free spins for three symbols, 25 for four and an impressive 100 spins for five scatters. You are allowed to retrigger the feature, provided that you got the needed scatters to appear again.
Betting options and jackpots
Since you have 30 paylines to work with, you will have to bet with a similar number of coins. Each one starts at just $0.01 and can go up to $5, so you can spend as much as $150 for one round of the game.
The slot’s best rewards are offered by the Samurai symbol, and you can get 500 coins from it, or up to $2,500.
Design and symbols
The theme is 100% Japanese, without inspiration from other areas and without using poker cards. The objects are typical for this country, either being birds of the area, Bonsai trees or things that are of clear Japanese construction. The Samurai theme is not that obvious, though there is one symbol which has the warrior on it, while the logo has two crossed swords behind it.
Symbols: Japanese Sign (wild), Gold Coin (scatter), Samurai (500 coins), Temple (400 coins), Treasure Chest (350 coins), Boat (350 coins), Throne (250 coins), Vase (250 coins), Fish (200 coins), Bird (200 coins) and Bonsai Tree (150 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
The Japanese theme was handled well in this case, and the game has the usual features that you would want from a slot machine, but prize wise it doesn’t do much for the player. The savior would probably be the free spins, especially if you get the 100 free rounds from them.
You will find Samurai Master at any online casino which chooses to use software from WMS, playable either for free or for real money.
