SAMURAI CODE: SLOT OVERVIEW
Last Updated: August 20, 2024Written by Stephen Cummings
Lots of treasure, money multipliers and male and female samurai warriors await you in Samurai Code slot from Pragmatic Play.
This slot game does its best to offer a modern version of a rather over-used theme and in this Samurai Code slot review, we will give you all of the information you need so that you can make an informed opinion on whether you would like to play for real money or not. Word to the wise guy: avoid this slot and check out some of our better value for money slot game reviews instead.
SAMURAI CODE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
A pleasant soundtrack and nice graphics, but as far as the SlotsHawk team are concerned, that is as good as it gets for Samurai Code. Over the course of around 50 spins, we did not hit a single multiplier over 2x, and despite hitting one and two scatter symbols numerous times, we did not manage to trigger the bonus game where we can only assume bigger payouts are on offer.
The base game did not offer us much at all other than hoping and praying that we would trigger the bonus game – for SlotsHawk, this is a sign of a poor slot game to play. We are disappointed with Pragmatic Play as any modern slot should do its upmost to offer both a good bonus game and a good base game.
SAMURAI CODE SLOT FEATURES
Unfortunately, Samurai Code is rather lacking in features, but we have highlighted for you those that it does offer.
SAMURAI CODE FREE SPINS
The free spins in Samurai Code is triggered when three or more scatter symbols appear on the reels.
FISH MONEY SYMBOLS
You will noticed that the fish symbols have a cash prize written on them. Unfortunately, these symbols only act as money symbols in the bonus game and are assigned a random multiplier value of between 2x and 2,000x. During the base game, they are normal symbols.
WILD COLLECTIONS
During the free spins, wild symbols are collected with four of them granting an addition 10 free spins and a win multiplier of 2x for the first retrigger, 2x for the second and 10x if you hit three retriggers.
Full List of Features:
- Free spins
- Multipliers
- Money symbols
- Scatter symbols
- Respins
SAMURAI CODE RETURN TO PLAYER (RTP) AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
As it is a Pragmatic Play slot, the RTP of Samurai Code is adjusted between three different values by the casino. Therefore, the RTP will be one of: 96.08%, 95.07% or 94.07%
In terms of maximum payouts, the maximum multiplier in Samurai code is 2,000x. This is only available during the free spins game.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING SAMURAI CODE FOR REAL MONEY
Unfortunately, the base game does not offer regular payouts or even regular wins. Therefore, the best strategy to employ here is one which will get you to the bonus game as quickly as possible. Of course, this is completely luck based, but you should make sure that you are playing within your bankroll so that you can spin as many times as you need in order to trigger the Samurai Code free spins.
We actually played our bankroll down to zero whilst playing Samurai Code – we just couldn’t trigger the bonus!
EXTRA INFO
Samurai Code is played on a 5×4 grid with 12 paylines. The variance/volatility level is high and it has an adjustable RTP. The minimum bet in Samurai Code is 18p per spin and the maximum bet is £48.60 per spin. The hit frequency is a rather high 1 in 8.23 spins and the free spins hit frequency is an extremely low 1 in 121 spins! Given the fact that pretty much all of the medium and large payouts can only be accumulated in the free spins game, we feel this free spins frequency is rather scandalous. Samurai Code was released on 8/07/2024 and has been developed by Pragmatic Play.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“SlotsHawk recommend staying as far away from Samurai Code as possible. Payouts in the base game are close to non-existent and the frequency of activating the free spins is very low. This is one of the most disappointing games the SlotsHawk team has ever played/reviewed.”
