Theme

As the title implies, this game is all about striking the fine balance between the inner peace and the passion of a true samurai warrior. The atmosphere in the game is really striking, and it’s so well executed, you can almost smell the cherry blossoms…

The reels are placed on a Japanese styled billboard and all the symbols are drawn as if they came from a comic book, so the overall visual appeal is really a sight to behold…

Speaking of symbols, these are all meant to serve the same purpose - help you reach the state of Zen and possibly align so that you can score some hefty wins.

They include a lantern, a ninja temple, a meditating monk, a river, a bonsai tree, and so on.

The wild comes in the form of a ninja warrior, the scatter is represented by a monk, while another ninja symbol triggeres the bonus game.

All the sounds are magnificently executed, and they really accompany the visuals quite nicely.
