Play Shogun’s Secret Slot

Shogun’s Secret Review

Gamomat have never been a mainstream studio, but that’s not to say that they are unable to produce interesting online slots. They most certainly are able to do that, and it is possible to find a few nice gems in their arsenal. Shogun’s Secret is an online slot they launched back in 2018, and it comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines. It’s worth noting that those paylines aren’t even fixed, which means that you can decide if you want to play with all of them or with just 5 of them.

Since the slot was originally launched back in 2018, it’s no wonder that its audiovisual presentation isn’t up to current standards. Still, its Japanese theme with shoguns makes for an original experience, and it’s one that can be enjoyed even now, especially if you’re into all kinds of Asian themes.

Shogun’s Secret Slot – Reels Screen

The mathematical model of Shogun’s Secret offers a medium volatility level, but we don’t have any reliable info about its actual jackpot. However, we can tell you that you can jump in for stakes between £0.05 and £100 per spin. The theoretical RTP of Shogun’s Secret is then 96.05%, which is slightly above average and completely fine.

Shogun’s Secret Slot Features

There are as many as 10 pay symbols in Shogun’s Secret, and it’s possible to see them as 4 low pays, 4 mid pays and 2 high pays. For low pays, there are your usual card ranks from Jacks to Aces, and they all pay the same, which is 10x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. For mid pays, there are fans, flowers, vases and gates, with these symbols paying up to 30x your bet for a full combination. Finally, there are high pays with bridges and shoguns. Shoguns are the most valuable symbols, and they pay 50x your bet for a set of 5.

For specials, you can look forward to Scroll Wilds and Temple Scatters. Scroll Wilds work as Expanding Wilds, which means that they not only substitute for other symbols, but that they also automatically expand to cover entire reels.

Shogun’s Secret Slot – Free Spins Feature

Find 3 or more Temple Scatters on the playing field to activate the Free Spins feature with a total of 12 free spins. Additional free spins can be won as well, but the formula is a bit different. You’ll get just one extra free spins for one Scroll Wild, while two Scroll Wilds will give you 3 extra free spins instead. Three Scroll Wilds, then, will add 12 bonus free spins to your tally.

On top of that, Scroll Wilds upgrade mid pays and high pays into more valuable symbols, giving you a better winning potential in the process. It’s a nice mechanic, and even a couple of Scroll Wilds can do a lot for your wins.

Finally, you can use two Gamble features to boost your wins. One of the Gamble features is all about guessing the color of a hidden card, while the other is a simple ladder minigame that doesn’t offer much in the way of interactivity.

Review Summary

Despite its somewhat outdated presentation, Shogun’s Secret is still a pleasant online slot with an original theme that we aren’t seeing as often as we’d like. Its free spins with symbol upgrades are nice, too, so don’t hesitate to check it out!
