Ninja vs Samurai review
Edited by Daniel MorganFounder & Editor
Ninja vs Samurai is a 2019 video slot from PG Soft about two rival clans hired to guard wealthy families, played on five reels and three rows. It lists a 97.44% RTP, Medium volatility and a 15,000x max win. No demo plays on this page. Below: the scatter trigger, the Ninja Samurai Feature, session costs and similar slots.
How to play Ninja vs Samurai
The layout is the classic one for a video slot: five reels, three rows. The setting is the Sengoku period, with a Samurai clan and a Ninja clan competing for jobs as mercenaries. The slot has two scatter types, one for each clan, and both count toward the same trigger.
The studio's rules text lists the features as the Free Spins Feature, the Ninja Samurai Feature, Wild symbols, Scatter symbols and Multipliers. It does not publish a paytable or say how lines pay, so symbol values are not covered.
Ninja vs Samurai free spins: how to trigger them
The Free Spins Feature starts with nine free spins. The trigger is three scatters, each either a Ninja Scatter or a Samurai Scatter, landing on reels 2, 3 and 4. They may sit in any row of those reels, and the two types can be mixed.
The text does not say whether the round can be retriggered. It also does not say whether the spins are played at the same bet as the triggering spin.
The Ninja Samurai Feature
A free spin can be converted into a Ninja Samurai Feature free spin. On such a spin all the wins on the reels are multiplied, and reels are selected to be filled with Wild symbols. The page does not state the multiplier value, how the converted spin is chosen or how many reels receive Wilds.
Ninja Samurai Feature free spin
A free spin that has been upgraded: wins are multiplied and Wild symbols fill the reels that the feature picks. The size of the multiplier is not published.
Free Spins Feature
Nine free spins awarded for three Ninja and/or Samurai scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4. The upgrade to the Ninja Samurai Feature happens inside this round.
Ninja vs Samurai RTP and volatility
Only one RTP is recorded, 97.44%. The house edge is 2.56%; stake $1,000 and about $25.60 is the average shortfall. Volatility is Medium.
A 100-spin session averages $0.51 at a $0.20 bet, $2.56 at $1 and $12.80 at $5. Real sessions will land above or below those means.
Ninja vs Samurai max win
The most a round can pay is 15,000x the bet: $3,000 at $0.20, $15,000 at $1 and $75,000 at $5. It is a ceiling, not a typical result.
