Wild Stacks and Nudges
You will notice that Wild Stacks are also available in this game. When they land they stay on the reels, nudging down one row with each successive spin until they drop off the reels.
Instant Prizes Worth Up to 1,000x
The instant prizes in Samurai’s Katana are worth between 1x and 1,000x and land only on reels 1 or 5. To activate them you will need to land two wilds simultaneously on adjacent reels ANWHERE on the grid.
Unlocking Free Spins With Scatters and Gamble Scatters
The headline act here is the free spins round. It has a slightly unusual mechanism to unlock it, requiring you to land a scatter on reel 1 and a gamble scatter on reel 5.
First of all, the regular scatter drops on reel 1 to let you know that the game is on. However, you now have to wait to see if the gamble scatter lands on reel 5, which stops a few seconds after the first reel. If the gamble scatter lands then it displays a prize of either a multiplier of 1x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x or 100x, to be applied to a free spins round that now plays out, OR 1, 2 or 3 wild stacks to be applied to the next spin in the base game.
This is a gamble feature, so you can opt to accept the prize you get, or gamble to increase it to the next one in the list. Just remember that if you lose then you will go back to the base game with nothing!
Free Spins Round With Guaranteed Stacked Wilds
The only way to make it to the free spins round via the gamble feature. If you landed a gamble scatter displaying a multiplier you are in. The 2nd and 4th reels are GUARANTEED to start with a stacked wild each and your wins have the multiplier you picked up from the scatter applied to them.
During the round, every nudge of a stacked wild will fill a meter displayed to the side of the reels. Every FIVE nudges takes you to the next multiplier level of 1x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x or 100x.
Clearly your objective here should be to keep landing wild stacks and get that multiplier up as high as you can.
