Rise of Samurai 4

The symbols land on a 5×5 reel setup in this free online slot, with every line of at least three of the same kind hit on a payline awarding a specific award according to the following paytable:  

• Sanada Samurai / Date Samurai – Pays 20x for 5 on a payline  
• Red Samurai Helmet / Blue Samurai Helmet – Pays 10x for 5 on a payline  
• Red Sword / Blue Sword – Pays 10x for 5 on a payline  
• Red Chest / Blue Chest – Pays 5x for 5 on a payline  
• Red Drums / Blue Drums – Pays 5x for 5 on a payline  
• A Card Symbol – Pays 1x for 5 on a payline  
• K Card Symbol – Pays 1x for 5 on a payline  
• Q Card Symbol – Pays 1x for 5 on a payline  
• J Card Symbol – Pays 1x for 5 on a payline  
• 10 Card Symbol – Pays 1x for 5 on a payline  

Wild Symbol – This symbol replaces all the others in a winning line, except the Scatter. It also hits with a payout of up to 20x for 5 on the screen.  

Scatter Symbol – Looking like two Dragons, one with a fiery red glow in its eyes and the other with an icy blue glare, the Scatters trigger the Free Spins and land only on reels 1, 3, and 5.  

Now, right before the game starts, you are asked to choose a samurai clan. The Sanada Clan triggers a gameplay with lower chances to hit the Free Spins, but when this happens, the winnings are higher compared to the other clan. The Date Clan comes with higher chances for the Free Spins to get activated but smaller wins.

Expanding Wilds with Multipliers – The crests of the two clans act as Expanding Wilds throughout the entire gameplay. Whenever they hit, be it in the base game or the Free Spins, and if a win occurs, the symbols expand to cover the entire reel and get a multiplier of up to 100x. The multiplier applies to all wins the Expanding Wild is part of, and if more Wilds are part of the same win, their multipliers add to each other.  

Free Spins – The bonus round is triggered with three Scatters on the reels, activating 10 Free Spins. As we mentioned above, depending on your choice at the beginning of the game, you’ll find bigger or smaller wins. You can always change the profile during the base game.  

Regardless of the clan you chose, the Expanding Wilds remain on the reels whenever they hit, contributing to every win they’re part of.   

Buy Free Spins – Normally, there is one Bonus Buy cost that triggers the bonus round instantly. Now, because there are two rival clans battling on the reels, we get two options for each profile:  

• When playing in Date mode, you can buy the Free Spins for 75x the total bet, activating the standard feature, or you can pay 300x the total bet and get a guaranteed Expanding Wild on the reels in the very first free spin.  
• When playing in Sanada mode, the standard Free Spins are up for grabs for 150x the total current bet, while the special Free Spins round, with one guaranteed Expanding Wild on the reels in the first free spin can be purchased for 300x the total current bet.  

Bets to watch the fight start at € 0.10 and can increase up to € 100 per spin. The theoretical RTP sits above 96% regardless of the mode you play in, with a max win capped at 15,000x the bet.  

One thing we particularly adored from the very first screen was the visuals. Choosing the Sanada mode takes us indoors in a tatami-floored room with fire crackling on the sides of the reel – it does look like an arena! The Date Clan seems to prefer the outdoors better, as their decor is set in the interior garden of a castle during nighttime, with mountains rising tall in the far back. When the Free Spins get triggered, we are taken right in the middle of the fight, with tall flames sweeping over the Sanada arena and the Date castle!  

The rivalry between the Sanada and Date clans has reached a peak in the latest Pragmatic slot with a 15,000x max win. Choosing your champion will determine how the game behaves in the bonus round – one comes with more chances to trigger the Free Spins, but the wins expected in the bonus round are smaller compared to the win in the Sanada Free Spins. There’s also an extra buy Free Spins option that comes with a guaranteed expanding wild right in the first spin. The battle cannot be put off any longer – the samurai are taking their fighting positions – choose your winner, place your bets!
