Densho Demo & Review

Densho review

Densho is a watercolour Asian adventure on 10 paylines. Its namesake symbols expand into wild multiplier reels if they pass through one or more winning lines after expanding.

There are three grades of Densho symbol, each with a different multiplier range, and if several are part of the same win their values are added together. In free spins, progress trackers sit above each reel showing the minimum grade of Densho symbol that can land there; landing Densho symbols fills the tracker and raises that minimum, so the bonus improves as it goes. Hacksaw rates it 4 out of 5 with a 10,000x maximum. The top RTP is 96.4%, with lower versions available to operators.
