Ronin’s Honour Slot Review

Ronin’s Honour Slot Overview

Ronin’s Honour sees top online slots developer Play’n GO present a manga/video game mash-up on the reels, as the wandering Samurai does battle with her nemesis, The Hannya – a fearsome vengeful spirit from Japanese mythology. The excellent visuals and immersive audio – complete with subtitled cut scenes – combine perfectly to interpret the theme. Should you grab your slots sword and join the fight, you will enter a game containing Wilds, Splitting Symbols, and a Battle-Style Free Spins Bonus. Defeat The Hannya, and you may emerge victorious with a max win of 30,000x your stake!

With some slots, it can often feel as though the theme has been tacked on as an afterthought. However, that accusation could never be levelled at this spectacular release, with Play’n GO clearly having put a lot of time into getting the mix of Manga and Japanese mythology just right. That effort pays off in spades in what is a gripping gaming experience. The excellence doesn’t end with the audio and visuals, as the gameplay is as sharp as the tip of a Samurai Sword. The splitting symbols fit well with the theme, adding significant excitement to the base game and climatic Street Fighter-esque bonus round. For fans of the genre - or slots in general - this represents a Manga-magnificent time on the reels.

Ronin’s Honour Slot Paytable & Symbols

Here's a guide to all the symbols and payouts you'll find in Ronin's Honour:

Name	2 Symbols	3 Symbols	4 Symbols	5 Symbols
J		0.2x	0.4x	0.6x
Q		0.2x	0.4x	0.6x
K		0.2x	0.4x	0.8x

Oriental-style representations of standard playing card values, J through to A, serve as the low-paying symbols. High-paying symbols then consist of those Samurai essentials of Throwing Daggers, Chigiriki, Nun-Chucks, and Samurai Swords, and award 3x-10x the total bet for five-of-a-kind.

Ronin’s Honour Slot Features

Mask Symbols

In addition to the standard symbols, the base game is lit up by the presence of evil Mask Symbols. Whenever these appear on the reels, they simply must be slain. Ronin wastes no time, springing into life from the left of the reels to swipe at the Masks with her sword. Having been attacked by Ronin, these Masks will then all convert to the same standard icon - but will either remain as a single symbol or be split into double or triple symbols – increasing the number of winning ways.

Ninja Wilds

Mask Symbols may also immediately transform into a Ninja Wild, which will expand to cover all slots on the reel. These Wilds initially count as one Wild per position on the relevant reel. However, Ronin doesn’t let the Ninjas go untroubled by her sword, potentially converting them into double or triple symbols - creating the possibility of nine Wild positions on a single reel!

Ronin’s Honour Slot Bonus Features

Battle Free Spins Bonus

Golden Samurai Helmets act as the game's Scatter Symbols. Land three or more of these anywhere on the reels, and you will move into the Free Spins Bonus to do battle with The Hannya. In addition to their ability to trigger bonus rounds, Helmet Scatters also pay out in their own right - up to 8x the total stake for five.

Free spins take place on the same set of reels as the base game, with the addition of Beat’em Up-style life bars above the reels – one for Ronin, and one for The Hannya. Each Life Bar is divided into three segments, with Ronin and The Hannya losing one segment of life in the following ways:

Ronin will lose a segment if she attacks a Ninja Wild and it does not split
The Hannya will lose a segment when Ronin splits a Ninja Wild

Free spins continue until one character loses all three life segments, or 50 free spins have passed. If Ronin loses all three segments, the round simply ends, but if The Hannya dies first, you will be rewarded with an additional turbo-charged Hannya Free Spin.

During this spin, The Hannya will step onto one of the reels, covering all three positions. All reels to the left of The Hannya then become Mystery Demon Symbols. Our hero Ronin then sweeps into action, slaying the three Mystery Demons – converting all Mystery Demon positions into the same standard symbol, each of which may become a single, double, or triple symbol.

Demon’s despatched, Ronin takes a final slash at The Hannya herself, converting all symbols on the respective reel into single, double, or triple Hannya Wilds. The Hannya spin guarantees a decent payout and may even send you hurtling towards that 30,000x max win!

Our Verdict: A Free Spins Bonus is always a great addition to any slot, but we enjoyed how unique this feature was in Ronin's Honour. It's great to see a slot put its own spin on a Free Spins Bonus, and the drama packed within these spins will keep you entertained for a long time.

Ronin’s Honour Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.22%	Yes	High

The top-end Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 96.22% is nicely above the industry-average RTP of 96% - representing solid value to the player. However, you should be aware that this is a variable RTP, with alternative settings of 94.20%, 91.20%, 87.20%, and 84.20% also available. The setting in use at your online casino of choice should always be available in the information section of the game.

A battle between a Samurai and a hellbent spirit certainly suggests a volatile experience. As such, it will be no surprise to learn that this game falls into the high volatility category of slots.

Our Verdict: The top end RTP is exactly what the doctor ordered, even if its a shame that it's a variable RTP. Games of this volatility rating tend to feature more low-paying wins and dead spins than a low or medium-volatility release, but on the plus side, offer a higher chance of hitting a big win in a short session.
