Silent Samurai Slot

Silent Samurai is a game from Playtech and I have to say that I am not very impressed by it. This game is played on 5 reels and only 9 pay lines which mean it is very simple and easy to figure it out. I have played this game once and I have to say that during the base game I have not won anything bigger than 5 x bet. During the free spins I was getting something more like 50 x bet but still it was not enough. Most of the spins were empty so even if I won something better during the feature it was not good for my balance.

There is only one special feature in the Silent Samurai video slot game and that is the Samurai Free Spins. This is an interesting and thrilling feature because you can collect up to 27 free spins. To activate the free spins you need the bonus symbol on the first and the fifth reel, and for that you are getting 5 x bet. Then you have to hit the ninjas to collect free spins and multipliers. Once you hit the ninja of your choice a shuriken is thrown and reveals a number. The free spins will begin when you hit a ninja that does not explode. On my third pick I hit the magic ninja and it opened 3 more. I have won 11 free spins with x 4 multiplier. I won 38.50 euros. This win was in the last free spins round. During my session I realized that it is very easy to trigger the feature. But this time I had to quit because my balance was going down and I was not happy with that fact.

All in all the Silent Samurai is a nice looking game. In my opinion it is too mediocre and I know that I am looking something else in a game and this one does not have that.

Japanese Ninjas and Samurais can move without making any audible sound! They can move on your rooftops and you won't hear a thing, and they are usually even more quiet than cats! Imagine that! But when you start hearing swishing sounds in the air, oh boy, your time may be up! Or maybe I been watching too many samurai serials on TV! Hahaha. Silent Samurai? Yep, exactly. Clumsy samurai? Only in comedy. No-sex samurai? Are you kidding me? They are men too, just like you and me! But what has that got to do with this Samurai game, you're asking me? Well, if it wasn't true, like what I've said above, then you wouldn't find any Geisha scatters, would you now? See, I told you so ! Hehehe.

I've played lots of samurai-themed slot games. Ninja games included. What's the difference between a Ninja and a Samurai? Well, if you must know, Ninjas are silent, obedient, do-or-die warriors. They are usually mercenaries. Samurais are like knights, excellent warriors, some even becoming lords! That's why they don't wear all-black all-covering uniforms like Ninjas do. All clear now? Good. Lets get on with the review then, hehehe.

I must say, the Samurai in this Silent Samurai, doesn't look Japanese at all! Maybe he's got American blood or something. Hahaha. Never mind. This 15 liner game offers only a free spins feature game, which can award up to 27 free spins with a 8x win multiplier. Retriggers are possible, they do happen quite frequently, and I've got them a number of times already, unlike MG games which tend to bluff you with their retriggers, oh blimey!

My best win was in one of the free spins game. 27 free spins, 8x win multiplier, one or two retriggers (can't really remember now), plus a 5-of-a-kind win on those shurikens. What's a shuriken? Oh gees, you haven't played this game yet, have you? Hmmm. A shuriken is that star-shaped pointed blardy sharp metal things that Ninjas like to throw around, to kill, of course. It's not like playing marbles you know! You do know? Oh, good! Hehehe. Where was I? Ah, yes, my biggest win on Silent Samurai. I can't find the screenshot when I want it, it's there looking back at me when I don't want it. Just like a Ninja would do. Dang! If I'm not mistaken, that win was around 1000x my total bet, maybe more, can't be sure now. You can buy it, or just throw it into the trash bin, doesn't matter to me, but I seldom lie! Hahaha.

Occasionally, I would get a free spins game that would get killed on the first ninja that I picked, hence giving me only 2 free spins to play with, and usually ending up with a zero payout. This is usually a signal that the game is going into its 'bad' mode. Subsequent free spins games would usually be very far apart from one to the other, and would pay out peanuts too. Not all the time, of course, but more than 75% of the time. This is the part I dread most, because no matter how you play the game, you just cannot win from it! Ah well, no game will go on paying all the time, and no game will go on eating all the time either. So, if you happen to come across such a game, it's best that you quit and come back much later, or, ride out this bad mode with minimal bets all the way, until the free spins start paying again. Yes, I have done this on a few occasions over the years. No sweat, hehehe.

Silent Samurai is a 9-payline slot from Playtech and I think you don’t need to be a genius to figure out what this game deals with. Of course the interface of the game is influenced by Asian culture and the used symbols are golden dragon, geisha, samurai and the card elements are decorated with Japanese letter style and actually with the solid illustration graphical methods the appearance of the game is good enough but personally I just feel something’s missing here. I can’t be more specific and can’t name what I would like to see here but somehow I still think this interface is just decent without using any special pictorial solution and I can’t help but it isn’t real attractive for me.

From my perspective this same feeling goes to the game segment too where are good game qualities and nice features but none of them could make me real excited and never make me believe that I’m playing with a special video slot. 5000 coins are the best prize by a single line win what 5 Golden Dragon can provide and this character is also the Wild of the game without win multiplying ability. Geisha is the Scatter and a little bit surprisingly it has only rewarding functionality (up to 100 times of total bet) and it doesn’t activate and feature so this job is assigned to Samurai figure. If it appears on the first reel and the last reel at the end of a spin first x5 of the total bet is credited then a secondary screen opens where we have to hit Ninjas with a shuriken to win free spins and multipliers. There are 20 Ninjas from which one is Evil Ninja and selecting this warrior is a bad choice as it ends this stage of bonus and free games are starting with the collected conditions while there is a Master Ninja and if we’re lucky and select it, automatically another three Ninja reveals their prizes.

Perhaps the slot and the feature don’t like me too much but I have never collected more than 14 free spins and the multiplier number never exceeded x4 so it’s no wonder that I haven’t managed to win here more than x35 times of my total bet which is acceptable but not superb and otherwise I find the general free spin session as a not too rewarding feature.

To be honest, I’m not really impressed by any part of the game and for me this product is just another ordinary slot on the market. Reading all the very positive reviews about it and I thought I must try and play this game for some extended sessions but at the end it was a disappointment for me. Perhaps my expectations were too high or just the game really doesn’t favour me but I don’t find here anything that would incite me to return to this slot and do it frequently. I’m not saying there are many shortcomings at this game but on the other hand it is also true this doesn’t excels in any way and can show that superb qualities what I initially thought. I think Silent Samurai is an OK product and can be a solid gambling partner but if you like something more something special from a slot game you just simple won’t find it and have to continue searching for the appropriate one.

Silent Samurai is a cool slot game from Playtech and I play it quite a lot. It is a great 9 line game with good pays and great feature. The graphics and the sound effects of the game are pretty cool. It keeps me interested and sometimes surprises me with a sneaky line hit.

The game has a lot to offer and my main advice for this game would be to bet big. It is very sad to get good line hits on small bets, and the feature pays are much more memorable on bigger bet. Best bet for me is €0.45 or €0.90, work great for me but be careful it could take all your cash.

The feature in this game is also perfect for me. It’s a pick bonus with free spins and multipliers as rewards. You can also pick good ninja and he would award you with the nearing good symbols. You can get a lot of free spins with a high multiplier; my best was 20 free spins with 6x.

The scatter is also pretty cool and comes out quite often. I have managed to get five of them a couple of times.

The wilds are also great and pay huge. I never managed to get 5 but got four of them few times.

It is hard to get the feature in this game. You need to get samurai on first and last reel and sometimes they don’t come out at all. It is easy to get caught up in this game and lose all of your cash. The bonus itself is not always great either and sometimes I pick the evil ninja on my first pick. The other thing that I don’t like is that there is no stop button. I think it would have been perfect for this game and hopefully soon they will add it.

Over all a good game if it wants to be. My rating 7 out of 10.

Silent Samurai is a video slot game coming from Playtech. It is not some of the newest releases but definitely not an old fashion game. With a bet of 0.90 dollars you can expect some descent wins.

I had a very nice win the last time that came from 5 golden dragon symbols which was 100 euros straight. No screenshot as I changed the laptop and I felt there will be some big win. Well when it comes to symbols, the main samurai symbol appeared only a few times, the geisha symbol much more often and in combination with the dragon, at least one will give you nice payouts even on min.bet. Wild symbol is the dragon, I already mentioned, and it substitutes all symbols except the bonus symbol.

I played the bonus game too and won 10 euros. I like the bonus game, it is not boring and there is a lot to be completed when it comes to winnings. In the second stage you are throwing rocks on samurai and again collecting winnings. Samurai symbol which is the bonus symbol can bringyou nice wins with an amazing up to 27 free spins with 8 x multiplier. If the samurai symbol appears on reel 1 or 5 he will start the bonus game and will pay 5x bet .

This slot pays from left to right. Geisha which is a scatter symbol will give you nice payouts too as expected. Other symbols as the mystic signs related to the samurai existence and other symbols, letters will not pay you much. I have no doubt that this 5 reels, 9 paylines slot can give some really decent wins. Letter symbols wins gave me no more then 0.50 euros, when in combination with a dragon it gave me euro up to 4.50 euros payouts. Geisha with a dragon will pay nice too.

This game definitely deserves to give it a try.

It is a bit strange that no one still review this game from playtech. Game is old, and i play this one few times at different playtech casinos and i think this is not bad game.
Game themed with ninjas and only one silent samurai, which should destroy this ninjas. Game has 9 lines, and it is good because every slot with low number of pay lines has better payouts, and another one good thing here is that minimum bet at this game is only 0.09 penny, and every player can try this game with even low deposit like 10$, and this 10$ should be enough to play this game.

Base game did not have any special features or something like this, only wilds which substitutes for all symbols except scatters. My best win at base game is less than 100x but this wins come sometimes, and much more often than on slots with higher number of pay lines. This game is good in my opinion because free spins here not usual, i kill ninjas and collect multiplier and free spins. Paytable say max is 27 free spins and x 8 multiplier, but best feature that i had it was 15 free spins with x 5 multiplier, and this feature produce for me my biggest win on this game - x 200 total bet after all free spins. Also i had one retrigger, but it unfortunately adds only 8 free spins to free spins count and nothing else, i was hope that it will add me 15 more free spins or even x 5 multiplier.

I think this is great medium variance game from playtech and very good game for lowrollers. Free spins feature is interesting, i think every player will like to kill ninjas.Most likely i will not play this game again, because it is old and not so interesting like newest playtech game, but i think this game can be played.
