Jade Shuriken Slot Review

June 30, 2022 Football Match

Fans of the famous card game Hearthstone might be a little disappointed to learn that Jade Shuriken from Slingshot Studios is unrelated to it. Instead, Jade Shuriken is an online slot that connects to other games from the Microgaming group of developers because it includes the Epic Strike feature that was previously found in Blazing Mammoth by Pear Fiction Studios. Additional features include three free spins bonus rounds with win multipliers, an Epic Strike Trail, Epic Strike Respins, and other goodies.

Betting and Prizes

With a high hit rate of 42.76 percent on the standard 96.24 percent RTP version, it is a low volatile game. The hit rate marginally varies while playing the 92.24 percent or 94.24 percent variant, but volatility is consistently low. The bets, which are available on all devices and range from 20 cents to £/€80 per spin, are likewise unchanged.

40 fixed paylines that can be used to land winning combos of three to five of a kind snake across the grid. Before moving on to the premium 7s, double 7s, or triple 7s, which pay 3.75-18.75x for five of a kind, the paytable starts with four low-pay Asian-themed icons, paying 1-1.5x the stake for five of a kind. Additionally, each combination of 7 symbols that constitutes a combo is valued up to 1.5 times for five. The Jade Shuriken logo, which appears on all reels, is wild. When five of a kind, it can create winning lines worth up to 62.5 times the bet or act as a substitute for any standard pay symbol.

Slot Features

The Feature Trail will be discussed first because it is one of Jade Shuriken’s more recent features. Green or golden shurikens can be seen on the Feature Trail, which runs along the top of the reels. Every time a shuriken is spun, the trail takes one step to the left with the leftmost shuriken acting as the activator. Only green shuriken symbols can show up on the middle three reels of the main grid when a green shuriken is activated, giving a chance to start the Epic Strike feature. A golden shuriken may also cause gold shuriken symbols to show up on the middle three reels, which could result in the Epic Strike Respins being activated.

A monetary reward is given when three or more green shuriken symbols land on reels 2, 3, or 4. When 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 of them come in, the payout is equal to 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 100, 250, 1,000, or 2,500 times the original wager, respectively.

One times the bet is awarded and the free spins bonus rounds are initiated by landing three scatter symbols on the middle three reels. There are three choices available to players:

With 15 free spins, an x2 multiplier, and at least one golden shuriken symbol on the Trail, Pools of Prosperity (low volatility) is a rewarding game.

With at least four golden shuriken symbols on the Trail, you’ll receive 10 free spins with an x3 multiplier when you play Forest of Fortune (medium volatility).

Canyon of Courage (high volatility) features only golden shuriken symbols on the Trail throughout its six free spins with a multiplier of x5.

Only line victories are eligible for the win multiplier; Epic Strike wins are not. Free spins can be retriggered, and that’s it.

On reels 2, 3, or 4, the Epic Strike Respins feature is activated when three or more golden shuriken symbols land there. All other locations on the middle three reels respin while the triggering symbols are held in place. When fresh golden shurikens land, they are also retained and given another respin.

Design and Theme

Shurikens are those pointed discs that ninjas toss at one another, and Jade Shuriken is all about martial artists engaged in combat, so better get out the gi for this one. The base game portrays a moody rural landscape with cliff faces, pagodas, and a meandering river (or lake?) in a purple nighttime sky. The Epic Strike component of the game has a rising ladder of cash awards, a trail of green and gold shurikens above the reels, and a 5-reel, 4-row grid matrix as its centrepiece. The cartoon martial arts motif has been executed well by Slingshot, with the appearance of heroes, villains, fan-waving damsels, and bearded wisemen giving the game a graphic novel-like atmosphere at certain stages.

Conclusion

This is an excellent Slot with good RTP. It is an interesting slot game for adventure game lovers.
