Cherry Blossoms
The Wombat says: This little ripper of a game from NextGen (of Doctor Love on Vacation slot fame) takes us straight to the land of the rising sun. Cherry Blossoms is a slot set in alluring Japan and is a game that invites you in with a touch of mystique – I couldn’t wait to get my pointy little teeth into it!
Enter a Geisha’s Garden that offers more than just the traditional tumble of the reels. Cherry Blossoms is a game with traditional Japanese styling and poise and some nice extras. Will this little Wombat succumb to the game’s charms, let’s spin and see…
Look and Feel
Overall the Japanese theme is done quite well, and the game opens with a beautiful traditional Geisha welcoming you to the reels. These reels are set against the abundant flowering cherry blossom tree of the game’s title that make Japan the envy of the world each spring!
Cherry Blossom slot’s graphics aren’t bad either; its clean and bright styling does the job and there are some nice nods to the Japanese theme, like when you land a winning combo. Here you’ll earn a shower of pink cherry blossom to congratulate you on your scoop! And it’s accompanied by traditional Japanese music each time the reels spin, too.
Game Play
Cherry Blossoms has 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 pay-lines (more than double the number in the Secret Admirer slot machine) and your reels sport some very pink graphics. The icons on the reels include a lotus flower, a Japanese castle, some elegant dancing fans, a paper lantern, a traditional bell and the painted face of a geisha. Other symbols include the usual playing cards J, Q, K & A that make up your lower value icons.
The Wild in this slot is that alluring Geisha and if you’re lucky enough to catch land her a payline then she’ll double the prize of your payout! This feature kept this Wombat’s eyes firmly on the lady (amongst other things…)
The Scatter in Cherry Blossoms is the cherry blossom symbol (funnily enough) and if you land 3x or more of this fragrant flower anywhere across the reels, then you’ll scoop free spins to the tune of to 15, 20 or 25 respectively. But that’s not all. Oh no, any wins made using the Geisha Wild during the bonus round will be subject to a very generous x6 Multiplier. Cheers NextGen!
