Ronin Slots

RealTime Gaming - RTG - is known for giving players a treasure trove of slot themes. If you can think it they’ve most likely done it. Today, we’re taking a look at their Japanese warrior based slot - Ronin. Right away players will notice something very regal about this game. The mountains in the background, the red banners with gold writing, the cherry blossoms, it all comes together for a breathtaking presentation. The symbols are well made and come with that traditional Japanese writing style while the music really brings everything together. It may be one of RTG’s older slots but it’s still top notch and exactly the quality slot we come to think of when we think of RTG slots. But can players fight their way to big wins with this warrior? Let’s find out…

Bets and Paylines

Ronin is a 5 reel slot with 25 paylines. Bet sizes are from $0.01 to $20.00, so if you’re a high roller this one might not be for you. However, this is the ideal slot for novice and beginning players.

Play Symbols

Ronin has a great collection of premium and non premium symbols that really highlight the theme…

The PALACE is the top symbol. 5 or more of these and players will be crowned the ronin of the land!

The HORSE is the second symbol.

Followed by the SAMARI HELMET.

And the final premium is the BLUE SCROLL.

The non premium symbols are the NINE, TEN, JACK, QUEEN, KING and ACE playing cards.

The RONIN is the SCATTER. 2 of these plus the bonus symbol will trigger the special features. Ronin symbols substitute for all symbols EXCEPT the Koku.

The KOKU is the BONUS SYMBOL. These only appear on reel 3. This combined with 2 RONIN SCATTERS will trigger the special features. KOKU symbols substitute for all symbols EXCEPT the Ronin.

Special and Bonus Features

Ronin has 3 special features that players need to know about. They are all triggered the same way - 2 RONIN SCATTERS and a KOKU on reel 3.

• Respin Feature

In this feature, reel 3 is held and filled with KOKU symbols. The remaining reels will respin anywhere from 3 to 10 times. If a player spins into 2 RONIN SCATTERS, they will be awarded with an extra 3 - 10 repsins.

• Free Spins Feature One

In this feature, 5 respins are awarded. The first spin has a 1x multiplier. The 2nd spin has a 2x multiplier. The 3rd has a 3x multiplier. The 4th has a 4x multiplier. And the 5th has a 5x multiplier. This can be retriggered and will reward players with an additional 5 free spins. This feature can only be retriggered once.

• Free Spins Feature Two

This feature will give players 25 free spins with ALL spins coming with a 3x multiplier. Any retrigger will reward players with an additional 25 free spins.

To Play Or Not To Play?

That is the question and the answer is big time yes. Ronin might look like an older slot but it plays beautifully. The theme is perfection - as is the execution. There are basically two wild symbols and the 3 different respin features can lead to some massive wins. If we had one issue it would be the bet range, but with a max bet of $20, players can still win big. So if you’re looking for something fun and something with quality, look no further than RTG’s Ronin.
