There's never really been a shortage of online slot that have Asian-inspired themes, especially those of various types of soldiers like samurai and ninjas. However, the Hanzo's Dojo slot by Yggdrasil Gaming brings together all of these in addition to others like sumo wrestlers into one space to give an experience that stands out from others in the sub-genre.

The graphics are very strong with a particular style to them that fits the theme extremely well, and the feature-rich gameplay combines with the high hit-rate style of play and the low volatility to give you a smooth play session without a lot of major swings.

Betting and Format

The format of the game is a little out of the ordinary, but it has its roots in a layout that virtually all players will be familiar with. The main part of the game takes place over five vertical reels and three horizontal rows, but there's a set of three symbols in a row in a roof area up over the main grid, and we'll get to that down below.

A total of 25 paylines are always available on the main grid without any option to play with fewer. The bet sizes per payline range from $0.004 to $5 each, and players can subsequently wager from $0.10 to $125 on each turn.

Rooftop Area

There are a few features that can activate thanks to the three-symbol area in the roof. If you get a wild on that area, then it will expand down below to cover the entire reel. This expanding wild is obviously useful and valuable.

If you get the Hanzo symbol on all three of the roof spots, then you get three of what are called Hanzo Spins. During Hanzo Spins, a random symbol is set in a 3x3 location across the middle three reels, which makes it much easier to get winning payouts. You'll get three of these Hanzo Spins at a time.

Finally, you can get scattered free spins symbols that combine with the scatters on the main board to give you a free spins bonus round.

Free Spins Symbols

Three or more of the free spins symbols gives you a shot at the free spins bonus round. During this round, you'll get 3x3 symbols on the middle reel, and the number of free turns is determined by how you got the free spins. Each free spins symbol on the roof area gives four free turns, and each on the main grid gives three.

Each free spins symbol in the roof area that helps to activate the feature gives you an extra called a booster in this slot. The boosters can be a pair of extra free spins, a wild fifth reel, a 2x multiplier on all payouts, nudges for 3x3 symbols or the ability to win in both directions. They all are obviously worth quite a bit of value, and you'll really get a lot of goodies if you're able to get two of these at the same time because the total value is worth more than the sum of their parts.

Character Symbol Payouts

Four character symbols are four on the reels. The sumo  is up first with a 235x win for five of a kind. You can then earn 200x for five of the samurai in blue, and five of the geisha in purple pays out 180x. The win for five of the green ninja symbol is a solid 160x as well.

Low-level Wins

Four different symbols matching the color scheme of the four characters round out the bottom end of the pay table. The red tree gets 60x for five, and five of the blue water pays 50x. The three sided wind symbol in purple earns you 40x when you line up five, and five of a kind combinations of the green symbol gets you 30x.

Our Thoughts

The star of the show of the Hanzo's Dojo slot by Yggdrasil Gaming is obviously the top row of symbols in the roof area. With that having been said, the way the free spins bonus round is handled with the extra boosters is very solid as well.

We don't want to skip over the fact that the graphical approach works really well with the theme and helps to create a solid tone for the experience. On top of that, there's a cast of characters that feel authentic at the same time, and that just gives it even more of an appeal as a whole.
