Yokai Demo & Review

Yokai review

Yokai is a Japanese folklore slot with 20 lines, sticky wilds and moon multipliers. Before free spins begin, nine moons appear and a samurai slices them open to reveal 1, 2 or 3, and the total sets your number of free spins.

Two scatters during a bonus spin bring six more moons to cut. A Chance option raises the trigger odds at a slightly higher bet, and the bonus can be bought where permitted. BGaming rates it medium-high volatility with an 8,000x maximum and a 97% RTP. Free spins arrive about once every 161 spins.

Volatility: Yokai sits in the medium volatility range, so wins arrive more regularly than on high-variance games but are usually smaller. It suits longer sessions at a steady stake. Volatility explained.
