Megaways Bushido Princess

Megaways Bushido Princess Review

The Bushido was a code of honor that a samurai would live by as best he/she could, and the core principles were Righteousness, Loyalty, Honor, Respect, Honesty, Courage, and Consistency. The female samurai warriors were called onna-bugeisha, and they were trained in a similar manner as their male counterparts. You get to meet one of them in Megaways Bushido Princess, and the game comes with stunning architecture that blends with the breathtaking scenery.

It’s a well-crafted game audiovisually speaking, and way above average in that regard. The Megaways grid is not as massive as you might be used to, however, as it maxes out at only 16,000 win ways. Wilds can expand to give you sticky wild respins, and this goes on until the wild symbol multiplier has maxed out. You get extra spins per expanded wild in the bonus round, and it remains in play for 3 free spins. The 30,000x potential is well above average for this engine, and we had a pretty good time testing Megaways Bushido Princess.

Megaways Bushido Princess Slot Features

You can turn on the HyperBet between any base game spin, and it will cost you 2x your regular stake if you keep it on. The benefit is that wild multipliers max out at x10 instead of x8, and you also get more spins when the bonus round triggers. In addition, you get a slightly higher top-tier RTP if you activate the HyperBet feature, namely 96.33 % instead of 96.26 %.

The premium symbols pay between 2.5 and 6 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and Wild symbols step in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins. Whenever you land a Wild symbol, there is always a chance that it may expand to cover the full reel. This turns the wild into an Expanded Wild Column, and it comes with a random multiplier. This is not a win multiplier, however, but rather a multiplier that indicates how many wilds each symbol represents.

The Wild Multiplier can go up to x8 or x10, depending on your chosen HyperBet level, and the Expanded Wild becomes sticky for a respin in the base game. The multiplier increases per respin, and you get respins until the wild multiplier has maxed out. If you get expanded wilds on all 3 middle reels at the same time, wins may also pay from right to left on occasions.

You can land K-Cash symbols with cash prizes attached, and you need at least one Expanded Wild in view to collect all present cash prizes. The cash prizes are collected once per expanded wild that is present.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land a scatter on both reels 1 and 5 at the same time, and you get either 6 or 8 free spins depending on your HyperBet level. You get +3 extra spins per expanded wild in the bonus round, but you don’t get respins like in the base game. The expanded wild becomes sticky for 3 free spins instead.

The Bonus Buy feature is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. You can buy 6 free spins with an x8 max wild multiplier for 37.2x your stake, and this gives you an RTP of 96.55 %. Alternatively, you can pay 134.2x your stake to get 10 free spins with an x10 max wild multiplier, and this gives you an RTP of 96.77 %. The golden middle way option is 8 free spins with an x10 max wild multiplier, and it costs 107.6x your stake. This gives you an RTP of 96.66 %.

The 200 Spins Megaways Bushido Princess Slot Experience

You get to see a near-miss bonus scatter teaser in the base game, before we purchase the top-tier bonus round at 0:30 into the 4-minute highlights video. We got plenty of extra spins from the expanded wild columns, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We can start by saying that Megaways Bushido Princess is a beautifully crafted game that comes with breathtaking sceneries. The source of inspiration seems fairly obvious to any veteran slot player, as series also revolve around expanded wild respins. The Megaways grid is more constrained than it usually is, and you need the HyperBet switched on to be able to max it out with 16,000 win ways.

Not too impressive considering that above 100K win ways is the norm, but the expanded wild multipliers can lead to solid payouts nonetheless. The K-Cash collect feature seems a bit odd for this game, and the constant wild expanding teasers get annoying after a while. They don’t expand that often either, and you need to pay double per spin to truly get the most out of this game. We don’t know how that affects the game’s max win, but up to 30,000x your stake is possible. This is well above average even for the Megaways engine, so Megaways Bushido Princess is definitely worth a closer look.
