Jade Shuriken Slot Machine: Review & Demo

Games Global (Microgaming’s platform was sold to them) will release a brand new slot together with Slingshot Studios, and it’s going to be called Jade Shuriken. With a ninja-inspired theme, a modern design, and the Epic Strike Jackpot on the line, I think it has enough to offer that it will be a mix that convinces people that it’s worth checking out.

You’re getting 40 win lines from 5x4 reels, so it’s a bigger setup. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are excellent top prizes of up to $200,000 (2,500x the stake) possible, and there are several ways to get them. Add the RTP of 96.24%, or the low volatility, and you have all the makings of a great game. From wilds to free spins, multipliers, and the Epic Strike Respins, the features tend to be quite powerful.

Jade Shuriken Betting and Prizes

Betting begins from a $0.20 minimum, and it will be taken up to $80 by the player.

Either by forming enough combinations of 5 wilds or by going to the top of the Epic Strike prize ladder, a win of up to 2,500x the stake is considered a possibility in the Jade Shuriken slot. That would be worth up to $200,000 to the player/

Thanks to its low volatility, and the Return to Player which tops out at 96.24%, Jade Shuriken is a pretty good option for all types of players.

Slot Features

You’re getting some help in forming regular combinations from the slot’s wild, but there is also the chance that it will get you paid directly. 62.50x the stake is paid for a full 5 wild combo.

You will find that the game gives you either green or golden shurikens as scatters on the reels. These are symbols that could pay 1x to 2,500x the stake when landing up to 12 times on the middle reels. However, the golden variants will also trigger Epic Strike Respins, where the scatters become sticky and the feature continues until no new symbols of this type show up. It makes it easier to claim that 2,500x jackpot.

There will also be free spins here, and thanks to the included multipliers they are quite powerful on their own. 2x to 5x multipliers are applied to wins, and you get 6, 10, or 15 free spins (depending on what kind of multiplier you want to use). There are also several golden shurikens added to the trail area, so you can collect more and claim fixed jackpots.

Theme & Design

Expect a slot machine with Chinese-style graphics, but the angle is on the ninja warrior here. The shurikens are part of it, as weapons of choice, but there are also logos, several types of 7s, bells, pots of tea, hand fans, and more.

Conclusion

Overall, I found Jade Shuriken to be quite enjoyable. It looks great, has a low amount of risk, and it’s got high enough potential that it could prove motivating.
