Game Overview
When you think about it, if you’re going to succeed with any discipline in life, there’s almost always a strict routine or code you must stick to if you want to make it to the very top. This is particularly true when it comes to martial arts or combat sports, as it’s often not the power that’s most important but the technique behind the art you are studying. Anyway, before I go all Mr Miyagi on you, I’m doing my best to introduce a Samurai-themed online slot from provider Pragmatic Play. What is its name and vital stats? I hear you cry. Well, Samurai Code is a 5-reel slot with just 12 paylines, an RTP of 96.08%, and a maximum win of 4,000x bet.
With the potential for sword slashing and acrobatic somersaults, you might expect a slot game full of bonuses and features. I’m sorry to disappoint you on that front, but after you get past the theme and all of the fancy graphics, at its core, Samurai Code is pretty much a clone of the Big Bass Bonanza fish slots, so I think you can already guess what’s coming. If not, or if you’re new to that whole concept, we have a base game with very little going on and a free spins bonus round where money symbols are collected by the Samurai each time they land simultaneously. That’s not all, though; you can progress across a win meter, where extra spins and a win multiplier of up to 10x can be awarded.
Those amongst our readers and players who have been moonlighting as a Samurai superhero can now put their skills to the test, but if you still feel as though you need a little more practice, you can take advantage of our free Samurai Code demo slot; it’s ready to play below.
Samurai Code Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
It’s nothing short of bonkers now when you think about how many fishing slots there already are on the market, let alone the games like today’s Samurai Code; that’s, well, let’s be honest, a fishing slot in diSGuise. Those of you, excuse the pun, who don’t want to trawl through all our free online demo slots to find the perfect game in this genre can make use of some recommendations instead. So, what have we got lined up for you to try? The top of our current go-to list for slot games in this style is the Big Bass Mission Fishin, also from Pragmatic Play and Big Catch Bass Megaways from Blueprint Gaming.
We’re putting the pays section of the Samurai Code slot under the microscope next, and at the top of the paytable, we have the Female Samurai returning 200x the bet for a winning combination of five. Next, it’s the Treasure Chest at 100x, followed by the Swords and Fly, which complete the premium pays with equal returns of 50x the bet when five hit across an active payline. Onto the lower value symbols, we have the industry standard royals in play with the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten all sharing payouts of 10x the bet for a five of a kind win.
It’s time to wrap up this section as we end with the bet selection on Samurai Code. Real money players can join the action for a budget-friendly €0.12 a spin, whilst, at the opposite end of the scale, high rollers can up the stake size to a jaw-dropping €240 a press.
Samurai Code Slot Base Game & Modifiers
Samurai Code is played over a 5×4 reel matrix where 12 fixed paylines are in play throughout the base game and bonus feature. A payout will be awarded if three or more (two for the Female Samurai) symbols connect on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first.
Fish Money Symbols
As we’ll reveal in the bonus features section, the fish money symbols are incredibly important in that aspect of the game, but they can also return some generous awards in the base game. They will have a value attached to them ranging from 2x to 4,000x, and whilst hitting a three or four of a kind win, these symbols will award a meagre payout; if five connect across a payline, you’ll be awarded the total value displayed on all fish from the win.
Sword Slash
If two scatter symbols land on the reels during the base game, it’s possible for a sword to appear, slash the reels and make a third scatter appear to trigger the bonus round.
Ante Bet
Pragmatic’s Samurai Code comes with the enhanced ante bet option, which, if you choose to toggle it on, will increase the bet size by 50% and increase your chances of triggering the bonus.
Samurai Code Slot Bonus Features
Whilst the base game is active, if 3, 4, or 5 scatters land in view, the bonus round will be triggered, and 10, 15, or 20 free spins will be awarded.
Free Spins Feature
A new Wild Samurai symbol will be added to the reels during the free spins feature, which will substitute for all symbols. Additionally, each time this lands simultaneously with any money symbols, it will collect their values and add them to your current winnings. Furthermore, for every 4th wild that lands, 10 free spins will be awarded, and a new win multiplier will be applied to all fish winnings, with a multi of up to 10x up for grabs.
Bonus Buy
Those who wish to skip the base game can instantly trigger the free spins, courtesy of the feature buy option for 100x the current bet.
Pros
- If you like the mechanics of fishing slots but not the theme, this might be the game for you.
Cons
- The whole fishing style games really have been done to death for most at this point.
Samurai Code Slot Review Final Thoughts
It's hard at this point to find the words to say about these games, and at times, I'm baffled as to why studios feel the need to make the same game over and over again. I guess they are still making them bags of cash, that is why, but for most of us, this snore fest will soon make it onto the slot scrap pile.
