densho slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Japan-themed slots come in many forms – we’ve had a batch of Shinobi-themed games in recent months (shout out to everybody who knows why The Legend of Musashi should be included in that category!) as well as other ninja-style slots like Jade Shuriken. For me, those types of games are much more interesting than bog standard Far Eastern games with Chinese lanterns and other such run-of-the-mill imagery. Densho sits somewhere in between the pack – it certainly looks authentic, and the red/black colour scheme gives me a sense that Hacksaw understand the connotations of their title all too well – perhaps these colours were chosen to provide Densho with a kind of “Schindler’s List” vibe?

The most valuable symbols in the Densho slot are the male character and the wild, both of which share equal returns of 20x the total bet for a full payline of five of a kind. There’s a female character who has a payout of 15x attached for all five of her symbols, followed by 12.5x for the owl, and 10x for two more symbols – one of these is a bridge, whilst I can’t quite make out what the other one is meant to be! Japanese Kanji characters have been used for the low-paying symbols – it would be quite clever if these were actually royals written in the Japanese language, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to confirm if that is the case using Google Translate! All five of them share equal payouts of just 2x the total bet. These payouts do seem small for a ten-line slot, but keep in mind that this machine has wild multiplier reels – see the Densho section below for details.

The range of available bets mirrors that of every other Hacksaw title have played recently – the minimum/maximum permitted limits are €0.10 and €100.00 per spin, respectively. 

densho slot base game

As mentioned in the opening paragraphs, Hacksaw's Densho slot utilises an extended playfield with five reels and four rows rather than the more traditional three. Some symbols do appear in stacks, which is useful for helping you to win on multiple pay lines simultaneously, but you are undoubtedly going to need a couple of those special multiplier wild reels in order to get close to the top prize of 10,000x the total bet.

densho slot bonus features

There are two possible free spin modes available in Hacksaw Gamings' Densho – hitting three scatter symbols will award ten regular spins, whilst four scatters will upgrade your bonus to the more valuable super mode. As far as I can tell, it’s not possible to hit a five-scatter trigger.
