A new online slot game titled Zhanshi has gone live at Realtime Gaming online casinos. It is a samurai themed slot game that describes an epic tale of blood and honour from feudal Japan. Realtime Gaming also has an older slot game Ronin in its portfolio. Ronin is a samurai who is without a master. This article reviews the earlier online slot.

The visual appeal in Ronin is distinctly Japanese with cherry blossoms and Fuji Yama in the background and the text given a Japanese character styling. The Ronin symbol wears many hats. It is a wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except the Koku symbol. When two or more Ronin symbols appear from left to right on an active payline the highest line payouts are awarded. When two or more of them appear anywhere on the reels scatter payouts are awarded. The Koku is an equally intriguing symbol. It appears only on reel 3 and substitutes for all symbols except for Ronin, when the latter appears as a scatter symbol. However, it can substitute for Ronin when the latter awards line payouts. If all this is a bit confusing, simply spin the reels and keep collecting the payouts as they come.

There is one bonus feature in the Realtime Gaming Ronin online slot. It is triggered when Koku appears on reel 3 and two or more Ronin symbols appear anywhere on the reels at the same time. You get to play one of three games. In the Respin Feature, reel 3 is held fixed with Koku appearing on all positions. The other reels are respun from 3 to 10 times. Further respins can be awarded. In Free Games Feature 1 five free spins are awarded. The multiplier starts at 1x in the first free spin and increases by 1x each time. Therefore the fifth free spin will have payouts multiplied 5x. Five additional free spins can be retriggered once with the payout multipliers continuing to increase. The Free Games Feature 2 is comparatively simple. 25 free spins are awarded at tripled payouts. The feature can retrigger once.

Ronin is a 20 selectable paylines slot game. The line bet ranges from $0.01 to $0.25. It is essentially a low rollers slot game. The maximum scatter payout of 500 coins converts to $2,500 with maximum bet. The top line payout of 10,000 coins also converts to $2,500 with maximum bet. You also have the randomly triggered Realtime Gaming jackpot. Ronin is live at all the online casinos of the Club World group.
