The Legend of Musashi Review

Miyamoto Musashi was a Japanese ronin (a samurai without a master), and he was a legendary swordsman who won many duels. He also wrote books on swordsmanship and strategy, and most notably The Book of Five Rings. The Legend of Musashi is therefore far more than just another somewhat quirky online slot from Peter & Sons, and it’s well worth exploring for players interested in Japanese culture.

The oriental esthetics are captured well in this release, and the visual effects are pleasing to the eye all the way. The scatter collect system will reward you with the Super Bonus Round if you stay the course, and you get Power Mode spins sprinkled in-between for good measure. The game revolves around expanding wilds and the increasing cascading multiplier, and you can win up to 20,000x your stake.

The Legend of Musashi Slot Features

Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic, and new and/or existing symbols drop down to possibly prolong the winning streak. This process goes on as long as you keep winning, and the Wild symbol steps in for regular pay symbols to help complete wins. The Monster Multiplier increases by +1 per cascade, and it resets between spins.

Whenever you land less than the 3 scatters needed to trigger the bonus round, the scatters are collected.

The Power Mode feature triggers every time you’ve collected 65 scatters, and this gives you 3 to 10 ninja star lives. Wilds expand to cover the full reel when they land, and a life is spent per expanding wild. The Power Mode ends when all lives have been spent.

The Monster Bonus Round triggers from 3 scatters in view in the same cascading sequence, and this gives you 10 free spins. You get +2 additional spins on top of that for every additional triggering scatter above 3. The multiplier still resets after each cascading sequence in the bonus round, but wilds expand to cover the full reel.

Scatters award +1 extra spin, as well as increasing the starting win multiplier by +1.

You need to collect 650 scatters in the base game to trigger the Super Bonus Round, and it comes with 10 super free spins. The only difference from the regular bonus round is that the win multiplier never resets during this super version of the feature. The regular bonus round can be purchased, and this awards 10 to 16 free spins randomly assigned (not available in the UK).

The 200 Spins The Legend of Musashi Slot Experience

You get to see a few base game wins here and there, before we trigger the bonus round right after the 1-minute mark. The expanding wilds took some spins to “warm up”, so to speak, but they really started paying off after a while. You can see how it all went by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The quirkiness factor has been toned down just a little bit in this release, which we don’t really mind. Not least since the oriental presentation escapes the generic blandness most developers come up with. It’s pleasing to see winning symbols being transformed into cherry blossom petals by flying daggers, and we definitely recommend you read up on the absolute legend this Peter & Sons production is based around.

An online slot can hardly capture the essence of his samurai spirit, but P&S makes an honest attempt. The scatter collect system keeps rewarding patient players, with the Super Bonus Round being the main motivator to keep you going.

The regular bonus round can be quite lucrative as well though, and the 20,000x potential certainly seems achievable. This is not the most “out there” release from P&S, perhaps, but still well worth a closer look.

Pros

• Cascading wins w/ increasing multiplier
• Power Mode & Super FS from scatter collecting
• FS w/ expanding wilds (multiplier resets)
• Super FS w/ non-resetting multiplier
• Win up to 20,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
