Japan-O-Rama Slot Review 2024

Japan-O-Rama

Japan-O-Rama is destined for those that enjoy the Japanese culture, but also love a good slot with 5 reels and 20 paylines. Rival Gaming is the company behind the game, and the prize added in it is $2,500, with features including wilds, free spins and scatter symbols.

The slot is a mix of the many things we know about Japan, usually at a superficial level. The top part of the screen is taken by the game logo, with Japan's white and red colors as decorations nearby. Look a bit lower, and you will find the reels with the symbols taken from the Japanese culture and life. It's a crazy mix, with the country of origin being the only thing they have in common, including images of ninjas, anime characters, game controllers, cell phones, robots, high speed trains, hello kitty, sushi, geisha, katana swords, dragons and sumo wrestlers. While the mix of images isn't connected by much, in this case it works well enough.

The game requires for a significant amount to be wagered, when you consider the size of the top jackpot. Only $2,500 are used for the top jackpot, while the maximum bet is $50. The bet's 200 coins are valued between $0.01 and $0.25 each.

The sword is the symbol that you need to appear on an entire payline, if you want the game's big prize of 10,000 coins.

One other symbol that you'll be glad to see is the green dragon, an expanding wild symbol, which can show up on the game's first three reels. Since it's an expanding wild, it covers the reel entirely if it shows up.

The geisha symbol, acting as a scatter, gives the player free spins, but you need at least three of them for that to happen. 5 spins will be given for three scatters, 10 spins for four scatters and 20 spins if there are five scatters on the reels. In each case, the player also gets a multiplier of 3x, meaning that they get prizes that triple in value, if they're awarded as part of the free spins.

The sumo player is the last symbol that has some extra role in the game, and with a minimum of three, you get the bonus round of the game, and some extra prizes to go along with it.

A lot of people are fascinated by Japan, its rich history and culture, its traditions and how they mix with the modern side of the country. You get a taste of all that with this slot, so I'd recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more and have some fun at the same time.
