Sakura Fortune Slot Review

How to play

The Sakura Fortune video slot is set within a 5x4 grid layout and those 40 paylines are always fixed throughout your gameplay. Your minimum bet per spin is €0.20 and the largest bet you can spin is €100 in total, this caters to a wide range of player budgets and helps to prove why it is such a popular game. Basic and advanced Autoplay functions are also available and these let you fine-tune your gaming session to suit your own personal playing preferences.

The Sakura Princess symbol offers a multitude of benefits and so it is the one symbol that you will hope to see as many times as possible during your spins. The Bonus Scatter symbol is also very useful and initiates the main Sakura Princess free spins bonus round. Apart from those symbols, the game offers multiple chances to pick up prizes via the standard paytable and so, we think that Sakura Fortune definitely excels when it comes to gameplay and feature variety.

Symbols and payouts

All the symbols in the game are in line with the game’s theme and the lowest set are designed as ancient coins. You can win anywhere from €15 to €125 when playing at the maximum bet amount and matching between three and five of the same symbol on a payline. The higher value symbols take the form of the green jade lion, the dragon, and then the prince, princess, and emperor. The latter holds the biggest prize in the base game and this is worth 10x your total stake which comes to €1,000 when you match up five in a row.

The Wild symbol in the game is represented by the Princess and this is a fully stacked 4x1 symbol, which means it covers the whole reel. It will only be available on reels 2-4 but they can appear during both the main game and the bonus round to bring you more chances of completing winning paylines.

Land two of these full stack Wilds and you will trigger the Re-Spin feature and this will continue to play out until no new Wilds appear. Take note that if you get two Wilds that don’t quite fill the reels then a Mystery Nudge feature might appear, this will help to nudge them into fully stacked Wilds which will then initiate the Re-Spin feature. 

Best Sakura Fortune bonus feature

The Sakura Fortune bonus round is based on the Bonus Scatter symbol which is designed as the word ‘Bonus’ underneath an image of a handheld fan. You need to spin at least three of these symbols in a row, starting at the first reel, to activate the Free Spins bonus round. You need to keep an eye out for the Wild Princess symbol during this feature as well, as it can also help to bring yet more winnings to your bankroll.

If you land a fully stacked Wild during your Sakura Fortune free spins then it will become a Sticky Wild for the rest of the feature. It will also reward you with an extra free spin and this Sticky ability obviously creates a lot more winning chances for you to rack up the prizes. The Free Spins bonus round is a clear attraction in terms of the features available in the game, but that Princess Wild is just as important and it can affect your winning chances during all stages of your gameplay.

RTP & Volatility

The Sakura Fortune RTP is 96.58% and the slot has been given a highly volatile status. The payout frequency cannot really be determined here, and so patience and a big enough bankroll is advised to be able to play through the swings and reach the all-important bonus round in the game.
