Description
Spirits of Zen Slot by MetaGU is an utterly encapsulating, high-volatility, 243-way, manga-inspired slot which is making some major waves in the online casino and mobile slot worlds.
Oriental and adventure games go right to the top of our list, even more so when they have brilliantly imaginative manga style graphics like this.
You come to Spirits of Zen Slot for the story and the graphics, you come to Spirits of Zen Slot for the excellent game features, in fact there is no real reason not to play this game! Given this game’s styling, its music and its ultra-recognisable faces it will drag you right in.
How to play
The basic premise of the game is to transform the Zen garden into an all-out, action-packed field. To do this, players need to line up three or more of the same kind of icon from left to right on the reels, adjacently, to win.
It’s probably no surprise that on the paytable the higher paying symbols are the Manga-themed ones. Winners can expect anywhere between 1.6 and 16 coins for landing combinations of 3-5 Warriors on an active payline.
Hand-drawn symbol characters, such as flute players, can boost a player’s winnings by anything from 0.4 to 8x their bet, though the lower-paying symbols come across in the form of standard cards from a deck and pay only 1.2 coins at the most.
Coin values in Spirits of Zen Slot generally range from 0.01 to 25 credits, meaning players can bet from 0.25 to 250 credits in each round.
An extra feature is the free round. Playing Spirits of Zen Slot can be played for free in order for players to hone their skills, meaning you can learn for yourself how the game pays out before deciding how to bet and how much to throw into the game.
Spirits of Zen Bonus Features
After each and every spin, players can trigger one of three Spirits of Zen Slots bonus features, namely:
- Wild Hopper – the Wild Hopper jumps on the reels and adds a Wild icon to replace an existing lower-paying symbol to increase a win.
- Heli Flipper – the Heli Flipper is an icon that flies around all the reels, flipping symbols over to reveal winning combinations.
- Reel Shunt – the Reel Shunt hands players one re-spin which brings with it a brand-new set of icons, meaning new winning combinations could be found.
Return to Player
The RTP, or Return to Player percentage, is 95.52% here. While this is a reasonable figure, other slots out there do have a higher RTP and we feel it’s fair to point that out.
Verdict
Spirits of Zen Slot is a game which manages to transform a tranquil garden area into a coin-filled field full of prizes to be won.
While the theme is encapsulating and those with fond memories of Manga will love it, its mechanics mean it is more suitable to those on the more experienced end of the slot scale but that being said – we think it’s brilliant and everyone should give it a go!
