Japan-O-Rama

If you are not exactly in a position to visit Japan, the 5 reel 20 payline i-Slot from Rival Gaming is a perfect way to learn more about this amazing country, its tradition, culture, most famous products and more. Besides being a great learning curve, Japan-O-Rama slot game, released in December 2010, offers an entertaining gaming experience as well as provides casino gamers with quite a few betting opportunities.

Players can select their preferred wager by using + and – within the coin value tab, while also using select coins and select lines buttons. Spin, auto or bet max start the game. All symbols pay left to right with the exception of Scatters which pay in any position, and at least three matching icons on an active payline are required for a payout.

Wild is represented by Godzilla symbol and while it only occurs on reels 1, 2 and 3, the icon expands to cover an entire reel whenever it is possible to form new wins. Meanwhile, Katana acts as Scatter, multiplying players’ total bet up to 1,000 times, whereas free spin icon and bonus symbol unlock the two special features regardless of its position on the game screen.

Unfortunately, there are not too many coin values to choose from as the slot only supports $0.01, $0.05, $0.10 and $0.25 coin denominations. However, with maximum 20 paylines to be activated and up to 10 coins to be wagered per line, the maximum wager per single spin of the reels can be increased to $50.

Ninja is the highest paying symbol in the game, awarding 600 coins for five matching icons, but wager 10 coins per line and you will win 6,000 coins for landing the said combination. Robot, girl and Shinkansen train also pay out in excess of 1,000 coins.

Rival Gaming has done well to incorporate into the game the most important representatives of Japan. As a result, the reels are populated by Ninjas, robots, game controllers, kittens, girls, Shinkansen trains, mobile phones, sushi rolls, geisha, Godzilla, katana swords and sumo wrestlers, with Japanese signs and symbols also present.

Two, three, four and five Katana Scatters appearing anywhere will multiply your total bet by 5, 30, 200 and 1,000 times respectively, but this is just for starters. Five, ten and twenty free spins at a 3x multiplier are awarded when when three, four and five Geisha icons are scattered anywhere on the reels. Meanwhile, three or more Sumo Wrestlers in any position trigger the Bonus Round.
