Sakura Fortune Slot Review

The game is played on a field of 5 reels with 4 symbols per reel and with 40 fixed paylines. The minimum bet is only €0.20 and for the high rollers among us you can bet up to €80 per spin. That makes Sakura Fortune a slot that can be played by online gamblers with budgets of all shapes and sizes.
As we mentioned briefly, Sakura Fortune is visually a truly beautiful cabinet. From the flowing hair of the princess and the gold coins to the Lotus flowers and the tough warriors, it all looks beautiful.

All symbols come in stacked form and the characters pay significantly more than the low symbols. 5 Ancient Ninja Masters on an active payline pays out 10 x your stake and 5 purple princesses is good for 5 x your stake. The tough warriors pay out 3 x your bet if you spin 5 on an active payline.
All other symbols pay out between 1 x and 2 x your total bet.

But the Sakura Princess symbol is by far the most important symbol of the game. She is wild and substitutes for all symbols, including the bonus scatters. The moment the princess appears on the screen, she can turn into a nudging wild. When this happens, the wild symbol extends across the entire reel.
Suppose you get 2 or more of these expanding wilds on the screen, then an extra respin for each wild is also triggered. During this respin, the wilds become sticky. If you manage to get another wild during the respins, another reel will become completely wild, and you will again receive a free respin.
This respin feature could deliver nice payouts in the base game, especially if you landed 2 or 3 reels wild from the 2nd reel. The wild symbol only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4.

The payout percentage is perfectly fine: 96.58%. We estimate the variance at medium. Although the bonuses and the respin features fall relatively often, a good strategic placement of the expanding sticky wilds is essential for a nice payout. For that reason, this is quite a whimsical slot machine. The maximum payout is 951 x your total bet.

If at least 3 scattered bonus symbols appear on the screen from left to right, you have won the free spins bonus. Depending on the number of scatters that triggered the bonus, you will win a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 10 free spins. During these free spins, every wild symbol becomes a sticky wild for the rest of the free spins. In addition, the wild symbol also expands here and you get an extra free spin for every wild that lands.
Can you quickly land multiple reels with expanding wilds in the bonus round? Then you will most likely get a nice bonus payout, especially if it concerns reels 2 and 3. In that case it is every spin price!
Quickspin's Achievements
Most Quickspin slots have the “Achievements” loyalty program integrated. With this program you save tokens in different ways by playing with real money in the game. When you have saved enough tokens, you can exchange them for a free bonus round of Sakura Fortune.
You don't have to bet anything extra to participate in the Achievements and saving is automatic. This way you save tokens when you spin certain symbols or when you fulfil small mini assignments. Earning the free bonus rounds is a fairly slow process, but it is free. Everything you win is therefore a bonus and the prizes are not at the expense of the payout percentage.
