Kanpai Banzai

Overview of Kanpai Banzai

Due to be released shortly, Kanpai Banzai is the latest slot from the gaming development team at Playtech and is ideal for those who enjoy Japanese and Eastern inspired slots. The game offers huge potential with wins on offer of up to 10,000x your stake.

Game Mechanics

This video slot plays our over 5-reels with an enormous 1,024 pay lines which means that there are literally thousands of ways that you can win. There is a brilliant base game and things just keep getting better as the slot offers multipliers, wild and scatter symbols plus cascading reels which should be enough for most slot players.

When it comes to placing your bets there is a range that starts from as little as £0.01 to a maximum of £500 per spin, the £0.01 is enough to activate all of the 1,024 pay lines and therefore I would suggest placing a higher bet, but that is up to you and with the flexibility on offer this is sure to be a game that will appeal to all players. The return to player is an acceptable 96.1% which is what you would expect from this calibre of slot. The slot can also be played on all devices giving you the freedom to play whenever and wherever you want to without the worry of whether your device will support it.

Design and Symbols

Kanpai Banzai is a sushi themed game that should appeal to all particularly those residing in Japan. Food slots are popular thanks to the well-crafted design and features that they offer, and it is the combination of food with the Eastern culture that will make this slot stand out amongst players favourites. There are not that many slots that use this theme making this slot rather unique in its design particularly as this design is modern and features high-quality graphics.

When it comes to the symbols the Royal playing card symbols come first and are followed by several sushi dishes, there is also the wild which is represented by the pot and the scatter which is represented by the Koi. All the symbols are perfectly designed and make the perfect accompaniment to the theme.

How to play and How to win

As soon as you enter the game, you will notice the circular spin button which you have to press to get your reels spinning. However, before you do that you need to determine the bet that you wish to use, remember there are 1,024 pay lines and the bet will cover all of them. There is an auto play mode that you can press if you want to sit back and watch the game play out in front of you.

As stated above there are 1,024 ways you can win with this slot, and some excellent features on offer too. The slot does rely on the cascading reels and as so when you land a winning combination the win symbols cascade off of the bottom of the screen and new symbols then land in the empty spaces and if these new symbols create another winning combination another set of symbols appear and so on, this gives you bigger chances to win particularly as there are so many active pay lines in play.

Kanpai Banzai Bonus Features

As well as the cascading reels, the game also offers scatter and wild symbols. When you land every winning cascading reel you will be rewarded with multipliers and wild reels. You begin with the regular spin and you will then start getting wild reels, as the wild reel come close to your 1st reel and this gives you more chance to land big winnings. You are rewarded with 2 wild reels when you land your 7th cascade and if you land the 10th cascade your 2nd and 4th reels become permanently wild and all your wins come complete with 2x multiplier.

The other bonus game that players can land is the Tasty Fish bonus game, and this is activated when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters symbols in a single spin. Once in the bonus you take on the persona of the sushi chef and you take your choice of fish. If you get lucky and select the proper fish, you are then awarded and get to choose another fish. The game ends when you select either the poisoned fish or you find the complete nine edible pieces of fish.
