Samurai Code Slot by Pragmatic Play

The core loop borrows from the Big Bass Bonanza family but wraps it in feudal Japan. Fish symbols act as regular pays in the base game, but once free spins trigger, they become money symbols carrying random values between 2x and 4,000x total bet. Male samurai wilds land on the reels, collect every fish value visible on screen, and stick around for the rest of the round.

The retrigger system adds genuine escalation. Every fourth wild collected grants 10 extra spins and bumps the collection multiplier - 2x after the first retrigger, 3x after the second, 10x after the third. That final stage is where the math gets interesting: a 50x fish collected by a wild at 10x becomes a 500x hit from a single symbol. Max potential stretches across up to 50 total spins if all three retriggers fire.

Two random helpers keep dead spins moving. A sword can pull reels upward to reveal hidden wilds and money symbols underneath. And when only one or two wilds sit on the grid, extra fish can spontaneously appear in empty positions. A scatter chance mechanic in the base game can also rescue a near-miss by summoning a third scatter when only two land.

Buy free spins costs 100x bet. The ante bet adds 50% to each wager for improved trigger odds. Both feed into the same free spins round with the same progressive multiplier structure.
