Silent Samurai Slot Review

It’s time to do battle on the reels – Japanese warrior style. Silent Samurai slot machine from Playtech offers a 5,000x multiplier jackpot for those who battle and win.

In early modern Japan, Samurai were the military nobility and did all they could to protect their country. Playtech have devised a slot machine based on this theme, but have thrown in some modern day twists. You may be invited as far back as 663 AD, but the features on offer are up to date and can reward you with stacks of cash. There are 5 reels and 9 paylines to the Silent Samurai slot machine, allowing you to adjust your stake from as little as 0.09 to a maximum of 180.00 a turn. The braver you are with your stakes, the bigger that non-progressive jackpot of 5,000x will become.

An epic battle of a lifetime is about to get underway on the reels and you can use wilds, scatters, free spins and a gamble feature to your advantage. Will you become victorious and win stacks of cash or will you fall at the first hurdle? It’s time to begin your journey – are you ready?

Oriental Battle Ground

Silent Samurai slot machine is situated inside an oriental temple. Golden dragons are carved around the temple with more gold used to separate the reels. Paylines are highlighted to the left and right of the screen with the paytable being situated to the lower of the screen. Navigating the control panel can be done with ease, as there is a button for everything you can think of. Press bet max so you don’t have to click through all the options to bet maximum stakes or use the auto start feature to sit back and watch the reels spin.

Golden dragon, Geisha girl, Samurai, golden coin, blades and card values of J, Q, K and A can be found spinning around the reels.

Jackpot Potential

You could potentially multiply your stake by 5,000x, thanks to the non-progressive jackpot on offer. Land five fierce looking golden dragons on your payline and that cash sum is all yours. The blade symbol is the second highest paying symbol, awarding 500x your stake, with the golden coin closely following with a 300x multiplier.

Battling Features

The golden dragon is your wild symbol and this will replace other symbols (bar bonus and scatter) to help create winning combinations. Geisha girl is the scatter and three symbols in view will trigger a cash return.

Samurai is the bonus symbol and when he falls on reels 1 and 5, the bonus game will be triggered. Technically, it’s not a bonus feature but it does award free spins. Hit the ninjas on your screen to accumulate as many free spins and multipliers as you can. You can receive up to 27 free spins with an 8x multiplier attached – if you are lucky.

If you are unhappy with any win you trigger, you can choose to go into the gamble feature. From the dealer’s table, simply choose red or black. The turn of a card will determine whether you double your money or lose the lot. This gamble feature allows you to gamble up to 1,000 or until you lose, so predict wisely.

Final Score

Silent Samurai offers basic graphics but brilliant features. In all honesty, there isn’t a lot on offer, but you can enjoy some highly entertaining gameplay for little stakes. Whether you bet big or small, that 5,000x multiplier jackpot can return some bug cash amounts. Silent Samurai is a medium variance slot machine, so you can expect the wins to fall regularly during the base game. Free spins are great, because not only do you get to play out free spins with some great multipliers, but the game you play before your free spins adds to the excitement.

We would treat the gamble feature with caution because this is a game of chance – so chances of you hitting a win or win streak are very slim indeed. All it takes is one wrong guess and you lose everything. You should be aiming to trigger free spins, because this is where you will accumulate the most money. Silent Samurai has a return to player (RTP) percentage of 95.77%.
