5 Ninjas Slot
Allowing players to unleash their inner ninja in the most effective, realistic and utterly rewarding manner possible, 5 Ninjas is an all-new 5-reel, 25-payline slot from the very talented team at Eyecon. Based around the always intriguing theme of the dark martial arts – and more specifically Ninjas – this game is a must for anyone with an interest in this culturally rich theme.
Functioning around much the same principles as any other game of this size and ilk, the 5 Ninjas video slot appears all too familiar to the seasoned gamers among us – at least on the surface! The console which frames the game is adorned with all of the usual suspects; there’s a bet button; a total of five reels all represented by their very own ninja; a lines selector; spin trigger; autoplay features; gamble button and rather conveniently – a help module for any gamers who struggle to grasp the ins and outs of the game’s landscape.
With a theme centred upon the exploits of 5 deadly Ninja warriors, there’s very little here that doesn’t act to grab a player’s imagination by the horns from the moment the game loads up. All trained to thrill, these Ninjas occupy a reel each and are the players own guide to activate the game’s highest paying combinations.
Deadly Combinations
As mentioned, the 5 Ninjas video slot game is host to the usual array of buttons and functions, this selection is furthered by the typical blend of reel symbol combinations which act to add to sizeable credit to the players bankroll each time they’re landed upon.
The game’s Wild will substitute all of the game’s symbols, aside from the Element and Coin symbols. Further to this, Wild symbols may only appear across the game’s 2nd and 4th reels, making them all the more elusive (yet still completely worth looking out for!). Wilds represent 5 Ninjas’ most lucrative combos, as all prizes won with a combo towards which they contribute are instantly doubled up in size!
Aside from the Wilds, the game’s other symbols are all moderately powerful, helping to tick players along at a steady pace and pack in some very attractive wins along the way. Sure, there are most definitely more highly paying video slots on the market at present, but very; and let’s emphasise the word very few of them involve awesome Ninjas!
The Secret Ninja Prize Pack
Has there ever been a more intriguing composition of words uttered in reference to interactive video slot gaming, or for that matter the entirety of the wider competitive gaming industry, than ‘The Secret Ninja Prize Pack’. Well no, no there has not been.
5 Ninjas is the game fully responsible for providing us all with this combination of words, and it provides us great pleasure to relay to you that there is not a shred of hyperbole behind the name of this feature. When this highly lucrative bonus round makes itself known, the player is required to select a door and in doing so will release one of the game’s 5 unique, and equally brilliant Ninjas. For every door selected, the player can bag themselves up to a 100x multiplier of the total wager on stake at the time.
The real beauty of this bonus game, however, is its longevity. Players will be allowed to continue selecting doors until all of the Ninjas have found their way out of captivity, or until they are caught by one of the guards.
A Range of Free Games
On top of the Secret Ninja Prize Pack (a name that will take us a very long time to get over if we’re being perfectly honest!), 5 Ninjas is a slot that is home to a range of additional routes towards free games and spins.
During our time spent at the helm before duty called and we were forced to move onto the next assignment, the most common one we chanced upon was the 3 coin route. Finding 3 Coin symbols in one row will award the player with 10 Free Games. During these games, opponent symbols will replace the existing coins until they are defeated and order is restored across the reels. A rather formless addition to the game landscape, were it not for one thing: all prizes are trebled in size during this process.
Round It Up
With a minimum bet of 0.01 and a maximum of 12.50, 5 Ninjas certainly carries an edge over the majority of games out there that are of a similar size and composition. Add to this high range of stake capability a clever assortment of bonus games and prize packs, and you have a brilliant game.
The theme could be explored a little further, but that’s just us clutching at straws. All in all, this game provides enough allure, enough seamless gameplay, enough in the way of dynamics and most importantly of all – enough of a chance to win a fairly big wedge!
