Silent Samurai Slot

Imperial Japan is the setting for Silent Samurai, a 5 reel, 9 payline video slot from Playtech. The chief attraction in this Asian-themed slot is the bonus round that offers up to 27 free games with a multiplier that can reach 8x. Unsheathe your sword from between 9p and £180 per spin.



The reels in Silent Samurai are set against a vibrant red and gold cityscape - the only standard symbols on show are a bronze coin and a throwing star as well as Japanese styled playing card values from A to 10.

They're joined by a golden dragon which is the wild and substitutes for everything bar the scatter and bonus symbols. Two or more wilds in a payline will net you a payout of 10 coins. This goes up to 40x for three, 1,000x for 4 and a cool 5,000x if you're lucky enough to land a 5-symbol combination in the base game.

The Geisha is the scatter, offering payouts of 5, 25 or 100 times your total stake if you land three, four or five of them anywhere on the reels. They don't trigger any features though - that honour goes to the Samurai warrior bonus symbol. When it lands on reels 1 and 5 you'll be awarded a payout of 5 times your stakes as well as triggering the Bonus feature.

You'll then be taken to a new screen where you have to choose from a selection of attacking ninjas to reveal the number of free spins and multiplier you've been awarded. This can reach 27 free spins with a multiplier of 8x. You can re-trigger more free spins during the feature, 8 at a time.

Visually, Silent Samurai is tastefully done and the Japanese-style soundtrack certainly enhances the mood. On the variance scale, this Asian-flavoured offering sits in the medium range offering a balance of payouts. The biggest money is on offer in the free spins feature where the big multiplier can make a big difference – 5 wilds can turn from 5,000 to 40,000 coins!

The Samurai code prompted warriors to live in a simple fashion - Playtech have taken that simplicity to heart. There's nothing especially flashy on show in Silent Samurai either visually or in terms of gameplay. Nine paylines and a single feature are all that's on offer. The bonus provides plenty of potential thrills though courtesy of the multiplier.

Get lucky with the free spins and Silent Samurai can offer payouts that can really get you talking. If you like Japanese-themed games, Playtech also offer you Geisha Story and Net Entertainment offer you the bonus feature-rich Koi Princess.
