Jade Shuriken Slot Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Jade Shuriken Review

We count only 77 installments in the ninja slot genre at the time of writing, so Jade Shuriken is a welcome addition in that regard. The game plays out at night, with a cartoonish asian landscape in the backdrop, and the Feature Trail provides green or golden shuriken triggers on a regular basis in the base game.

It’s active in the bonus round as well, and you get 3 options of line win multipliers and number of free spins. You can land Epic Strike prizes up to 2,500x your stake at any given moment, and tension will build along with your racked up prize symbols in the Epic Strike Respins feature. Jade Shuriken might be yet another 9 Masks Of Fire copycat, but the ninja theme makes it a somewhat attractive prospect.

Jade Shuriken Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 3.75 and 18.75 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and any mix of the 7-symbols pay 1.5x your stake for the same. The game logo Wild can appear on all 5 reels, and it steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild also pays up to 62.5x your stake for 5 on a payline.

The Feature Trail seen above the grid moves one step to the left per spin, and it provides green and golden shurikens. The leftmost position on the trail is highlighted, as this is the activator position.

The Epic Strike prizes are racked up on the left-hand side, and they range from 1x to 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 30x, 100x, 250x, 1,000x and 2,500x your stake. You need at least 3 green shuriken symbols in view to win an instant prize, and the top-tier prize is yours if you manage to land 12 green shuriken symbols at the same time.

The Epic Strike Respins feature triggers when you land 3+ golden shuriken symbols anywhere in view, and the triggering symbols become sticky as the remaining positions respin. You get a new respin as long as you land at least one new golden shuriken, and in the end you win the Epic Strike prize that corresponds to the number of golden shurikens you’ve racked up.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters in view, and this also awards a 1x scatter win up front.

• Pools of Prosperity (low volatility) - awards 15 FS with an x2 multiplier and at least 1 golden shuriken on the Feature Trail.
• Forest of Fortune (medium volatility) - awards 10 FS with an x3 multiplier and at least 4 golden shurikens on the Feature Trail.
• Canyon of Courage (high volatility) - awards 6 FS with an x5 multiplier and only golden shurikens on the Feature Trail.
• The bonus round can be retriggered, and the win multiplier does not apply to Epic Strike wins.

We then trigger the free spins round at 1:36 into the video, and we went for the ‘golden middle way’ option. You can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We get that 9 Masks Of Fire has been a massive success, but there are already so many clones out there by now that another one hardly registers on the radar of experienced punters. Jade Shuriken is somewhat of an exception though, since the Ninja theme might appeal to a certain crowd. The cartoonish visuals are nicely done, and the soundtrack is pleasant as well.

The Feature Trail is somewhat innovative, and it breaks up the base game grind on a regular basis. The Epic Strike prizes can literally strike at any time, which keeps a tense undercurrent of excitement going as you spin the reels. Seeing what kind of prize you manage to rack up in the Respins round is always fun, but overall this comes across as yet another decent 9MoF copycat.

Pros

• Feature Trail increase Prize or Respin chances
• Instant Epic Strike prizes up to 2,500x your stake
• Epic Strike Respins w/ prize symbol accumulation
• Choose between 3 different free spins options

Cons

• Overall max win is 2,500x your stake
• FS multiplier don’t apply to Epic Strike prizes
