The Wombat says: Pack your bags Wombat Fans, and don’t forget your futons as we’re off to Japan to check out the Legend of the 5 Ninjas slot from Eyecon – those legends behind upbeat games like the Caravan to Cairo slot and the Fluffy Favourites games. We call them the Good Mood slots!
In this game, you’ll meet the infamous deadly assassins, the aforementioned Ninjas, who are all masters of the dark martial arts.
According to legend, these cunning warriors had to try to master the secrets of the Scroll of Knowledge and you’ll find 5 of them (Ka, Sui, Ku, Chi and Fu all named after the 5 Elements) doing battle on the reels while trying to pick up some stealthy wins for you… They look like they could even take on our favourite sleuth from the Agent Jane Blonde slot, Walther PPK and all.
Look and Feel
Eyecon aren’t exactly known for their cutting-edge graphics, but this slot is the exception! We love the anime-style cartoon visuals and as it’s set in Japan your reels are framed by a wooden dojo with burning lanterns and swaying bamboo on either side. This game has got more cartoon style than the Big Top slot from Games Global, and that is saying something.
Thrown in some traditional Japanese style music and you’ll feel like you’re in Kyoto.
Legend of the 5 Ninjas Slot Game Play
Legend of the 5 Ninjas slot has 5 reels 3 rows and 243 Ways to Win. This means that there are no traditional paylines in the game, theoretically making it much easier to land winning combinations. Instead, the slot pays out left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.
Your symbols on the reels include; the 5 ninjas, some spears, bombs, daggers, nunchucks and swords, providing you with everything you need to be a first class ninja.
The Wild icon in this game is the ancient scrolls symbol, which will substitute for all other symbols (except the Scatter) to make up extra winning combos for you.
The Scatter is Godai, the chief ninja fella who looks like he’s wearing a shiny colourful necklace. Keep your eyes peeled for this symbol as it’s the key to the Free Spins bonus.
Free Spins and Bonus Features
Ninja Free Spins
Land the Godai Scatter symbol anywhere across the reels and you’ll trigger off the free spins bonus. Next, a new set of night time reels will appear – and you then choose how you want your spins to play out by picking either Ka, Sui, Ku, Chi or Fu to represent you.
Next, choose from 20 Free Spins with a 2x multiplier, 15 with a 3x multiplier, 10 Free Spins with multiplied wins of 4x, 8 with a 5x multiplier or you can pick 5 Free Spins with all your wins multiplied by x10. So much choice, this Wombat’s mind is blown.
But that’s not all! As with most Eyecon games, the Free Spins bonus can also be re-triggered up to 15 times by landing 3x more Scatters.
Conclusion
A fun game with the excellent build your own bonus, this Wombat highly recommends the Legend of The 5 Ninjas slot. The graphics are awesome and you really feel like you’re spinning Manga reels!
We’d recommend opting for the for 10 Free Spins with a 4x multiplier in the Free Spins round for some entertaining play. As for the variance? Well my Wombat sense tells me it’s low to medium which gets a thumbs up.
