Discover the Enigmatic World of Japanese Yokai in BGaming’s Latest Slot
Introduction to Yokai by BGaming
BGaming introduces an exciting new slot game inspired by Japanese culture titled Yokai. Created in collaboration with renowned Portuguese street artist Gonçalo MAR, this slot invites players on a mystical journey to Japan, exploring its rich folklore and captivating spirits.
Game Specifications
The slots layout features 3 rows and 5 reels, offering players 20 paylines to engage with. It boasts a respectable Return to Player (RTP) rate of 97%, with medium to high volatility that adds thrilling risk and reward potential. Betting ranges from as low as 0.20 up to 32 per spin, and the game offers a maximum win of up to 8,000 times the initial bet.
Experience the Spirit Realm of Japan
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Mount Fuji’s foothills, Yokai immerses players in a world of legendary Japanese spirits known as yokai. Players are protected and guided by a mysterious samurai character, who is uniquely portrayed as the offspring of the Sea Dragon King and the Mountain Fairy, symbolizing strength and protection throughout this spiritual quest.
Spin the reels to encounter various yokai creatures and gather enchanted talismans, enriching the gameplay with cultural mythology and engaging mechanics. With solid features and an attractive win potential, this slot promises an immersive and rewarding experience.
The visual design and thematic depth stem largely from Gonçalo MAR’s artistic direction, whose works often blend elements of Japanese culture, comic art, and animation, reflecting his long-standing passion for graffiti art since the late 1990s.
Unique Gameplay Features
Beyond its striking artwork, Yokai offers intriguing gameplay elements that keep players invested. The slot incorporates two types of Wild symbols, blue and red, each depicted as an eerie Japanese structure with a menacing tooth-filled mouth. Both Wilds can substitute for other symbols except for Scatters, but the red Wilds bring added excitement as they carry multipliers up to times 10. These Wild symbols appear exclusively on reels 2, 3, and 4.
The Scatter symbols, shown as traditional Tori gates, appear on reels 1, 3, and 5. Landing three Scatters pays out anywhere and activates the Free Spins feature.
When Free Spins begin, nine moons appear and are sequentially cut by the samurai character to reveal numbers between 1 and 3. These numbers are summed to determine the total number of free spins awarded.
During Free Spins, the Moon Multiplier starts afresh on every spin but continues to accumulate as the round goes on, boosting winning potential. Additionally, all Wild symbols become sticky for the duration of the feature, significantly enhancing the chance of large payouts.
In regions where it is permitted, players also have the option to purchase Free Spins directly to jump straight into the bonus action.
