Sakura is the name Japanese word for the country's famous cherry blossom tree and the beautiful blooms dominate the backdrop to the reels here - those reels have a distinctly Japanese flavour and include coins, jade statues, dragons, warriors and a wise old elder.
The princess is the game's wild - she replaces all other symbols apart from the bonus and can land fully stacked. Any time 2 princess symbols land on the same reel, there is a chance that the reel will nudge up or down to form a complete stack. This is known as the Mystery Nudge feature and can lead to 2 fully stacked reels which will trigger the below.
Land the princess fully stacked on 2 reels on the same spin and you'll trigger the Sakura Fortune Respin feature. The number of respins awarded depends on the total number of wilds on view on the triggering spin. You can add to your tally if more wilds land during your respins.
Free Spins feature - to trigger the bonus round, you'll need to land 3 or more bonus symbols on successive reels from left to right on a single spin which gives you 5 free spins. Every time a wild lands, it will expand and fill the whole of that reel. Better still, the expanded wild reel will remain locked in place for the remainder of the feature. 1 extra spin will be added to your tally of free spins whenever you land a wild too giving you up to 10 free spins with all reels wild!
With the lovely blossom trees fluttering away in the background, you could be forgiven for thinking that Sakura Fortune is a gentle slot game. In fact, it's anything but - this is an extremely volatile game with potential wins of up to 1,087 times your total bet on each spin.
Expect lengthy spells when your bankroll will float away like petals in the breeze trigger the Free Spins feature though and the stacked wilds can work their magic to quick effect. If you like slot games that come with high risks and high rewards, then Sakura Fortune should be right up your street. Throw in the top-notch design and this Japanese adventure becomes a very playable option. I also recommend you try another high variance game from Quickspin, Spinions Beach Party, which is superb.
