A Japanase slot theme that can make or break you

This Novomatic Katana slot machine is one that deserves respect. As much as it can reward you, it can just as quickly take it all away.

This 5 reel, 20 payline slot is a simple Novomatic game, much like the more famous Fairy Queen and Book of Ra Deluxe machines. It comes with wilds, a single bonus free spins game and no other worthy bonus features. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth spinning. Oh no.

The Katana slot rewards the bold Samurai players who spin on its reels, in just the right way.

All set on a wooden backdrop with a pretty stream, a cute bridge and lush greenery, you’d be forgiving to think this is another charming Asian themed slot.

Yet these 20 pay lines only have war in mind. With Japanese style A – 10 symbols, as well as bowmen, a horse riding flag bearer, a temple or two, as well as the high paying lady symbol. After all, what good is war if you don’t have someone to come back for?

You’ll also find the slots name sake as the scatter symbol, leading you to the free spins and the shogun wild.

However unlike the Fairy Queen slot where the wild is the highest paying symbol for 5 of a kind, here the Katana sword scatter gives you 200x your bet for 5 in a row and rewards you with the free games.

And it’s in these free games where you will no doubt find the biggest wins of the game. We tell you exactly how and why you’ll want to trigger them.

Who’s this Katana slot for?

This game, much like NetEnt’s Piggy Riches or Dead or Alive, comes with a huge betting range.

It allows players who have a conservative budget the chance to bet 0.20 a spin, as well as please the high risk gamblers who are happy to tempt their luck at 400 cash per spin.

That said, as a high variance slot it can quickly bleed your casino balance dry, especially as you go in search of the stacked wilds in the free spins.

So playing smart and safe is the key to success here, as anything other than caution can lead to a quick swift blow, and an end to a nights entertainment.

10 free games with expanding wilds

Ahhh. Much like many of the WMS slots, the free spin games are where you are more likely to find your biggest wins.

They do come at a price though. They are hard to find and can cost a good 200 spins or so to trigger 3 or more scatter symbols.

The nice thing is, once you enter the 10 free spins, there is an off chance that you can re-trigger them.

But the real reason why these free spins are worth the wait is due to the expanding wilds.

If you manage to find a wild on a winning payline it will expand to cover the whole reel and gives you the potential at bigger winning combinations.

We have only been lucky enough to get around 60x – 80x our bet on many occasion, but as always, there is great potential for more. Hundreds, or even a thousand times, your bet wins.

Why play Katana slot online?

If you have the patience, and guts, to keep on spinning then there can be some high rewards here.

However, much like the Samurai of old, the wars you’re fighting here are often less than fair, and on more than one occasion we’ve walked away with less than we came in with.

But then, only the bravest of warrior will win the glory and have their name fall into legend. And that’s what you’re playing for in the Katana video slot.

Though small note; the sounds in the base game are more like the arcade style sounds you’d find in the older Aristocrat slots. So not incredibly interesting.

That said, these are suddenly transformed in the free spins, where your heart starts racing as spin after spin you hunt down those wilds.

If you love to play slots with high thrills, and equal risk and rewards, you should give this Katana game a go. It has all the makings of a great Novomatic slot.
