Play Shinobi Moon Slot Online

Realistic Games has taken a detour from its usual retro-style slots with Shinobi Moon, stepping into the world of ninjas and feudal Japan. If you're familiar with their previous games, you'll notice a shift here. It's a slot with a ninja theme, something different from the usual offerings. It doesn't follow in the footsteps of their more nostalgic designs but instead dives into a more modern approach, even if it's not totally out of the ordinary when it comes to slots with an Asian theme.

The game plays on a 5x4 grid with 20 fixed paylines. The betting range starts at 0.20, making it a budget-friendly option, but it also allows for some higher-stakes spins. The design shows off the standard symbols you'd expect from a ninja-themed slot — shuriken, katanas, and of course, the ninja himself. It’s got a balanced setup for those who appreciate simple mechanics without too much going on.

Fans of Realistic might already know them from releases like Fireworks and Hot Cross Bunnies. Shinobi Moon is a noticeable step away from those older titles, but the developer’s knack for simple, accessible gameplay is still evident.

Here’s how you can get started and play Shinobi Moon for yourself:

1. Sign in to your account at BetVictor.
2. Head to the online slots page.
3. Search for “Shinobi Moon” and click the game when it appears.
4. Once it's loaded, click on the pile of coins to find an appropriate stake size.
5. Click the Spin icon to get the reels moving.

If you aren't already registered, click on the green 'Sign Up' icon in the top right corner and fill in the required fields. You can then verify your account and make a deposit if you want to play Shinobi Moon with real funds.

The game’s paytable consists of a mix of traditional card symbols and ninja-themed icons. Here’s a breakdown of the key symbols and their payouts:

Apart from the paytable above, there are also a few special symbols to look out for. The first is the Wild Moon. As the game’s wild, this symbol only appears on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 and substitutes for other symbols to potentially help form winning combinations. During the Free Spins and New Moon Respins bonuses, the wild symbols become Stick & Stack Wilds and can even have a multiplier value attached to them (maximum x3).

The other special symbol is the Sakura Scatter. Landing 3 or more of these symbols activates the Free Spins feature, where players could potentially win up to 15 free spins.

New Moon Respins

Trigger the New Moon Respins feature when 4 Wild symbols land on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. You’ll get 3 respins, and the triggering Wilds will transform into Stick & Stack Wilds, locking in place for the duration of the respins. If additional Wilds overlap, they boost the multiplier by 1x, up to 3x. After the respins, reel 1 spins to complete any winning combinations. 

Free Spins

The Free Spins bonus is activated by landing 3 or more Sakura Scatter symbols. You’ll be awarded the following free spins based on the number of Scatters:

• 3 Scatters = 10 free spins
• 4 Scatters = 12 free spins
• 5 Scatters = 15 free spins

During the Free Spins, the mechanics mimic the New Moon Respins, with Wilds sticking to the reels and boosting the multiplier. Unfortunately, the free spins feature cannot be retriggered. 

Buy Feature

For players who want to jump straight into the action, Shinobi Moon also comes with a Buy Feature, allowing you to trigger the Free Spins round instantly for a cost of 50x your bet. This feature is not available in all jurisdictions, so check your location’s regulations before using it.

While Shinobi Moon may be an out of the box concept for Realistic Games, it is definitely not the only Japanese-inspired slot on the market. Slots with a similar theme include titles such as  Samurai Code and Samurai Fury - both available at BetVictor.
