Shinobi Spirit Slot Features

In the main stage of the game, the 5x4 grid is marked by subtle bamboo frames hovering above the ground. Regular winning combinations need at least 3 matching symbols situated on any of the 26 lines to award a payout. All sequences must begin from the leftmost reel and continue along adjacent columns rightwards. Standard prizes range between 0.2 and 2.5 times the bet for hits on low-value icons, while the premium images pay from 0.7 to 100 times.

Bamboo Power

Bamboo symbols appear within reels 1 to 4 and land with instant win values of up to 1,000x. Whenever the Shinobi character drops on reel 5, it will collect any Bomboo symbols currently on the grid.

Shinobi Bonus

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters activates the bonus where Shinobi figures start with 3 lives and slash (collect) any Bamboo symbols in the direction they're facing. A life is exhausted after every spin, but it can also be regained for each slashed symbol. Additionally, unique power-ups can drop on the grid, boosting the ninjas' abilities once they interact with them:

• Green Block adds its value to all Bamboo symbols that haven't been slashed.
• Red Mask puts the respective Shinobi in a frenzy mode where he slashes multiple Bamboo symbols around the board, moving horizontally and vertically until there are no more available.
• Shuriken allows the Shinobi to perform an extra slash of the highest prize available on the grid, which is perpendicular to its current facing direction.
• Sword allows the Shinobi to slash every symbol twice on each spin until the ninja is present.

Randomly, at the end of any bonus spin, all Bamboo symbols can merge into one that absorbs their values. The bonus continues until there are no more Shinobis left on the grid.

Players can choose to activate the Ante Bet for a 50% increase of the active stake to boost the chances of triggering the bonus. Alternatively, instant access to the Shinobi Bonus costs 100 times the bet.

Final Thoughts

Print Studios, despite its relatively short presence on the iGaming scene, has already accustomed us to unique gameplays and captivating environments in their productions. Shinobi Spirit follows suit, offering a beautiful Asian cartoon theme packed with polished symbols, balanced animations, and an overall immersive theme. All audiovisual elements work hand in hand to deliver exceptional quality through graphics and an emotional soundtrack.

The slot's technical side expertly utilizes the familiar hold&win format during the bonus round while also making it possible to collect instant prizes in the base game. The Shinobi Bonus comes with an interesting twist, not guaranteeing the wins upon landing but requiring the warriors to slash them on their paths. It may initially feel like it's a downside compared to the traditional way of playing this model, although it's quickly compensated by the possibility of having multiple ninjas simultaneously on the screen. Additionally, several power-ups can significantly boost the existing prizes, making the round much more dynamic and diverse.
