The Sakura Legend

If you’re looking for a slot with an Asian inspired theme, then The Sakura Legend might be for you. If you are looking for a standard slot then it’s still worth a look, given that the gameplay combines both of these things effortlessly.

BetiXon has done a good job creating a game that should entice all audiences, no matter what device you are playing on.

Theme

The symbols offer your usual playing card ranks, as well as several that are themed for the game and the Asian influences within. The music and sound effects are a bit bland, but at least they are not too repetitive.

The art style is a mix of cartoonish and aesthetics influences. The only thing the game lacks is animations. All in all, you are still left with a somewhat refreshing feeling when playing this slot.

Betting Options and Functions

The five reels come with three symbols position each. Betting options run from 0.25 to 25 coins per spin, and as you can guess this means there are 25 paylines running from left to right. There is a total of nine symbols, and these pay out between two and 450 times your line bet. In addition, the wild pays out up to 500 times the line bet when five are present on a payline.

The interface is modern. While it is clearly designed for mobile devices it works just as well on desktops. All options are easily accessed, the bet can be chosen with a few clicks or touches, and spinning, as usual, is done by simply pressing the right button.

Features

Here is the downside of the game: only one special feature. Unless you count wilds into that, but frankly the wilds always work as wilds do.

Three to five scatters on the reels pay out between five and fifty times the line bet. Besides this, they trigger the only special feature in this slot, the bonus games.

You will always receive the same ten bonus games, and they always come with a triple multiplier for all the prizes that you land. The feature can be retriggered over and over again, though that requires some considerable luck or endless amounts of spins.

Our Take

The game is a bit disappointing in the sense that we were expecting more special features. The theme, the graphics, and the overall quality certainly called for it. As it stands…

…the game is a bit too simple. It only serves to offer basic wins, and given the medium to high volatility, there’s not that much to chase here. Perhaps it is best to play this in demo mode only to get yourself acquainted with the publisher. They have better games available.
