Rise of Samurai IV

Before Rise of Samurai IV begins, you have to choose whether you want to belong to the Date clan or the Sanada clan. This choice determines where the game takes place. If you play as Sanada, you will find yourself in a sort of dojo with fire bowls and lanterns. The walls seem mainly made of wood or bamboo, with curtains like doors.

Date mode takes place outside it, which looks like a large Asian temple. In the background, you can still see some mountains, partly hidden by clouds.

The playing area of Rise of Samurai IV consists of 5 reels and 5 rows, with 15 fixed paylines. You win by landing 3 of the same symbols on a payline and on connecting reels. To play Rise of Samurai IV, you need to bet a minimum of $0.10 and a maximum of $100 per spin.

You play with high volatility and a maximum winnable prize of 15,000 times your bet. Furthermore, Rise of Samurai IV has a nice average RTP of 96.05%.

Features: choices and wild symbols

Apart from choosing your favorite clan, Rise of Samurai IV doesn’t have many features to offer. There are only wild symbols and a free spins round to keep the gameplay exciting.

Clan choice: Date or Sanada

Choosing Date or Sanada doesn’t just have cosmetic implications. If you choose Date, you have a higher chance of winning free spins but win less on average in the bonus round. With the Sanada choice, the chance of a free spins round is lower, but the average win is again higher.

Wild symbols

Rise of Samurai IV has two types of wild symbols. Both the regular and expanding wild symbols can land anywhere on the playfield and replace any regular symbol. The difference is that the expanding wild symbols spread across the entire reel on which they land. In addition, they also get a win multiplier of minimum x2 and maximum x100 with them.

Free Spins

If you land 3 scatters on the playfield, you will get 10 free spins for this. The scatters only appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, so you have to land a scatter on each of these reels. During the free spins round, regular wild symbols no longer appear, meaning that each wild symbol extends over the entire reel. In addition, the wild symbols remain sticky throughout the free spins round.

Although Rise of Samurai IV is basically new, it simply consists of a combination of Zeus vs Hades and the Rise of Samurai series. So, unfortunately, nothing new under the sun.

So for originality, Pragmatic Play gets no points this time. Still, it was fun to play this slot, even though we had seen it all before. Because we had fun while playing and that’s ultimately what it’s all about, Rise of Samurai IV gets 8.9 from us.
