Sushicade (Gamatron) – Review & Demo Play

Sushicade - Introduction

Sushicade from Ganapati is a 5x3, 25 fixed payline slot with cascading reels and a rising multiplier that sits in both base game and bonus. I rate the maths model well for session play: RTP sits at 97.22%, the hit flow feels medium, and the top payout reaches 9,000x. The hook is simple. Land a win, symbols drop away, new ones fall in, and the multiplier climbs. That single-spin build can turn a modest start into a tidy return.

Stake range is broad enough for proper testing. I went from £0.30 to £90 without fiddly line settings, as the paylines stay fixed. Autoplay is there if you want to pace longer sets. The rhythm of cascades keeps the base game lively, and when the meter moves, you feel the step-up. It is a sushi-themed cartoon slot, but under the cute wrapper sits clean mechanics that pay when chains line up.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack in Sushicade

The reels sit over a bamboo table, with animated sushi pieces tumbling in from above. It looks cheerful and keeps moving even between wins, which helps the pace. The audio leans on upbeat pop with crisp effects on drops and collapses. I liked having the speaker icon handy to toggle music or sounds without digging through menus. It is light, colourful, and readable, which matters when cascades fire and you are tracking the multiplier.

How to Play Sushicade

Getting started is quick. Launch the slot, set your total bet with the plus and minus buttons, and hit spin. Lines are fixed, so you are always covering all 25. You need three or more matching symbols on a payline for a win, and you can land several line wins at once. The layout is clear, so spotting the better sushi sets becomes second nature after a few spins.

Autoplay sits behind its own button with simple options, and you can stop it whenever you like. When a win lands, the winning symbols vanish. New symbols drop in from above, filling gaps and giving you another shot. This keeps rolling until no new win appears. It is the familiar cascading loop, but the meter on the side gives you a clear sense of where the next step might land.

In the base game, the multiplier starts at 1x after the initial hit and climbs with each consecutive cascade. If the chain breaks, the meter resets for the next spin. I keep an eye on that meter and manage stake pace around patches where chains feel frequent. It is a straightforward system that rewards momentum and makes even small hits worth watching.

Bonus Features in Sushicade

The multiplier is the headline. In the base game, cascades can push it through 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 6x as long as wins keep forming. In free spins, it steps higher, running 3x to 8x on the same principle. Catching a strong symbol set with a high meter is where bigger hits come from. The way the meter scales makes every extra collapse feel meaningful.

Wilds and bonus icons do the expected lifting. Wilds help stitch lines together during those chains, while bonus scatters are there to trigger the free spins round. The package does not overload you with extras. It keeps the focus on the multiplier ladder and steady cascades, which suits the math and the pace of play.

Free Spins in Sushicade

Three bonus symbols anywhere trigger 10 free spins. The round starts with a 3x multiplier on any win, and each consecutive collapse in that spin nudges it up by one step to a cap of 8x. It is the same loop as the base, only beefed up from the first hit. Retriggers are on the table, so you can add more spins during the feature. When chains run, the numbers add up fast.

Our Verdict on Sushicade

I score Sushicade 8.5/10. Cascading reels with a rising multiplier make the base game engaging and the bonus round punchy. The 97.22% RTP sits above the usual mark, and the volatility feel suits longer sessions without flat stretches. It is a clean setup that rewards clusters of momentum. The theme stays light, but the maths can carry serious work when the meter climbs.

The 25 fixed lines and £0.30–£90 stake range cover most styles. The 9,000x max is realistic only when you connect higher pays with a primed meter, which is why the free spins ladder matters. I keep coming back because the chains are frequent enough to keep me involved, and the multiplier gives each spin a clear target.
