Shinobi Spirit (Print Studios) – Review & Demo Play

Shinobi Spirit Slot Overview

I’ve spent time with Shinobi Spirit, a 5-reel, 4-row, 26 payline slot from Print Studios. Stakes run from 0.10 to 50 per spin, with default RTP at 96.26%, rising to 96.67% when using the scatter add-on and 97.18% via the 100x Bonus Buy. Volatility sits at mid-high 4/5, hit rate averages 34.61%, and the top payout reaches 20,000x the bet. The package leans on Bamboo Power in the base and a Shinobi Bonus that trades set respins for life-based action and directional slashes.

Shinobi Spirit Slot Information

The scene is a tranquil Japanese village with green grass under transparent reels, a river on the left, and an old wooden house to the right. Wins form left to right from reel 1 on fixed lines, and the layout scales cleanly on mobile, tablet, and desktop. I rate the presentation as clear and readable, with audio that sits closer to video game music. It sets the tone for the slashing moments that punctuate both base play and the bonus.

There are eight regulars. Low pays are green, blue, purple, and red signs, paying 1x to 2.5x for five of a kind. High pays are barrel, lantern, bamboo, and dragon orb, paying 5x up to 100x for five. Bamboo can also land as a cash prize on reels 1-4 in the base. The Scatter triggers the Shinobi Bonus and pays 20x or 100x for four or five. There is no Wild symbol; Event symbols show only during the feature.

Shinobi Spirit Slot Features

Bamboo Power carries the base. Bamboo Prize symbols can appear on reels 1-4 with values up to 1,000x. When a Shinobi lands on reel 5, he dashes across the same row and slices all Bamboo there, paying their totals. I’ve had lively rows where a single slash turned a quiet spin into a tidy pickup. The scatter add-on costs 50% extra stake and adds more Scatters, which I toggle on when I’m pressing for the feature.

Three or more Scatters start the Shinobi Bonus on a 5x5 grid, with 20x or 100x paid upfront for four or five. There’s no fixed spin counter; the round runs as long as at least one Shinobi remains. Each Shinobi starts with three lives, loses one when inactive, and regains one for every slash, capped at three. Any Bamboo that’s hit is collected and removed, and if two Shinobis slice the same Bamboo, its value doubles before collection.

Event symbols change the flow. The green cube adds its value to all untouched Bamboo. The frenzy mask makes the Shinobi slash towards the highest total from that position and repeat the process. Shuriken grants an extra slash in the best new direction. The Shinobi Master arrives with six lives; whenever he slices a Bamboo, its value is added to all other remaining prizes. Average bonus return is about 96.19x, and the feature ends when no Shinobis remain.

Shinobi Spirit Slot Verdict

Shinobi Spirit is a game of two halves. The base can feel low-energy, yet a surprise 1,000x Bamboo on a sliced row keeps me alert. The bonus is where it clicks with life-based pacing, smart Event symbols, and real decisions around the scatter add-on or the 100x buy. RTP profiles suit this style, and the 20,000x ceiling gives it purpose. I keep coming back for that distinct slashing loop and the way values snowball when the grid aligns.
