Theme – slice your way to victory

With a samurai theme, the Ronin’s Honour slot is based on a type of samurai who has no lord or master. A samurai warrior becomes a Ronin upon the death of his master or after the loss of his master’s favour. With a Japanese feel, it’s not the official slot game for the 1998 Ronin film which stars Robert De Niro.

The story follows the Ronin who is on a quest to vanquish the evil Hannya in order to protect the land. Hannya is a villainous ninja who simply wants total domination. Set on a battlefield, you’ll see plenty of fallen warriors as well as Japanese red maple trees and a misty sky in the backdrop. The symbols appear within a traditional temple, known as a tera. The visuals are clear and bright standing out against the sepia backdrop.

On the reels, you will see A, K, Q and J royals with a Japanese font. Higher value symbols include an assortment of weapons including knives (known as a tanto), morning stars, shurikens and samurai swords. The samurai sword is the highest value symbol awarding 1, 2 or 10 x bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Look out for the Hannya Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. Other symbols include the Mask (the mystery symbol), Ninja Wilds (which can appear stacked) and Scatters. More information on their functions is described below in the Bonus Features section.

Ronin’s Honour Mobile

Released on the 13^th of April 2023, Ronin’s Honour has been created using the latest HTML5 technology. Detecting the device you’re playing on, it’s compatible with mobile, tablet, laptop and PC devices. Available to play on iOS, Android and Windows smartphones, I recommend a larger screen (laptop or PC) as each reel contain up to 9 symbols each for up to 59,049 ways to win.

Ronin’s Honour Bonus Features

The Ronin’s Honour slot comes with 2 bonus features. Mystery Masks will leave to weapon/royal of Ninja Wild symbols that can split to give you more ways to win, up to 59,049. This applies in the Battle Free Spins where you battle Hannya. If you defeat her, you’ll play an enhanced Hannya Free Spin with a Hannya Wild reel.

Mystery Mask Symbol feature

Look out for Mystery Mask symbols as these trigger the Mystery Mask Symbol feature. Landing on any spin and in any position, Mystery Mark symbols will reveal single weapon or royal symbols or summon stacked Ninja Wild symbols. These fill the height of the reel. All revealed weapon or royal symbols will be the same symbol for each result.

Additionally, weapon or royal symbols can then split to create additional ways to win. 1, 2 or 3 ways to win per symbol can be added. Stacked Ninja Wild symbols can also split to give you 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 ways per wild reel. If all reels contain 9 symbols each, you’ll play with 59,049 ways to win (9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 59,049). Finally, this feature can apply in the free spins (info below).

Battle Free Spins feature

The Ronin’s Honour slot is all about the Battle Free Spins feature. It’s activated by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. 3, 4 or 5 scatters will award a 1, 4 or 8 x bet payout. You’ll then be transported directly onto the battlefield.

Beginning with 3 lives, the game’s enemy (Hannya) also has 3 lives. Basically, the Ronin (you) engages in combat with Hannya (the Stacked Wild). If Ninja Wilds are split, a life is taken away from Hannya and you’re rewarded with a guaranteed winning free spin. If no Ninja Wilds are split, you’ll lose a life. You can keep track of lives by meters above the reels.

If Hannya loses all 3 lives, you will play a single, enhanced Hannya Free Spin where a single stacked Hannya Wild lands on reels 3, 4 or 5. This stacked Hannya Wild spawns stacked Mystery Mask symbols onto reels 1 up to whichever is the left-most adjacent reel to the stacked Hannya Wild.

Stacked Mystery Mask symbols then all reveal the same weapon or royal symbol which can in turn award up to 3 symbols positions per reel. Each reveal symbol can split from 3 to 9 ways per reel. The stacked Hannya Wild can also be split from 3 to 9 ways.

Finally, the Battle Free Spins feature continues until you’ve lost all 3 lives, Hannya has lost all 3 lives or you’ve played 50 free spins.

Ronin’s Honour Review Summary – huge fortunes lie in the Ronin’s blade

Story wise, the Ronin’s Honour slot is pays tribute to the classic hero vs villain story in Japanese culture. Visually, the sepia background makes the symbols on the reels really stand out.

In terms of the gameplay, it seems that Play ‘n GO has been inspired by Nolimit City’s xSplit mechanic. Slots such as Mental and Pearl Harbor will see xSplit wilds/symbols giving you more ways to win. The latter also features a Samurai sword xSplit symbol.

With up to 59,049 ways to win available on each base game spin, bigger wins will come in the Battle Free Spins feature. Split Ninja Wilds will result in guaranteed winning free spins and the loss of a life to Hannya. If you play the Hannya Free Spin, you’ll get a Hannya Wild reel which adds mystery symbols and more ways to win.

Offering 30,000 x bet max wins per spin, the Ronin’s Honour slot can pack quite the punch. The key is in the Ronin’s blade which sees slices for more ways to win. Overall, this is a simple way to experience splitting symbols which can result in huge wins. Play ‘n GO has used splitting symbols before such as in Captain Xeno’s Earth Adventure.

Fancy a less intense trip to Japan? The Sumo Sumo slot by ELK Studios is recommended. Rated at 4.5/5 here at Online-Slot.co.uk, you join stacking sumo wrestlers in a new type of hold and spin game that can dish up 25,000 x bet top payouts.
