The slot has a strong Japanese theme with wooden reels being home to three fearless warriors and playing card symbols. Nicely rendered visuals are accompanied by a cinematic Japanese music score that sets the mood of the game. Warrior symbols can appear in full length to cover all four positions on the reels and they pay high-value prizes. The game also features regular and The Geisha Wild as well as the Samurai Bonus symbol.
The Bushido Ways xNudge slot supports a betting range spreading from $0.20 up to $100 per spin. Pick a stake that suits you best and press the Spin button to set the reels in motion. If you want to play the game without interruptions, use the Autoplay feature that allows you to activate up to 1,000 automatic spins. Land 3 or more symbols of a kind on adjacent reels left to right and you will get paid.
The game offers a total of three Wilds. You can benefit from regular Wilds appearing on reel 2, 3, 4 and 5 to replace regular symbols and help you complete more winning combinations. These Wilds can be sliced into 2 icons on reel 3, 3 Wilds on reel 4 and 4 Wilds on reel 5. This is known as the Sliced Wilds feature that can increase the number of ways to win up to 12,288.
On reel 3, The Geisha Wild can appear to complete your winning combos. It nudges itself to cover the central reel completely whenever it shows up, even partially. What’s more, for every position Wild nudges, the multiplier increases by 1.
Landing the Bonus symbol with a stacked Warrior symbol simultaneously activates the Oni Transform feature. The triggering symbols along with all stacked Warrior icons of lower value will turn into the symbols of the highest value currently present on the reels.
As we have already mentioned, the slot offers two free spins features. Land 3 Bonus symbols anywhere in view and you will receive 8 Shogun Spins. If you trigger the feature with more than 3 Bonus icons you will receive +1 free spin per each extra triggering symbol. During the feature, at least one regular Wild is granted on reel 2, 3, 4 or 5. If The Wild Geisha appears on the reels within the feature, you will enter Geisha Spins.
To enter Geisha Spins from the base game, you must land 3 Bonus symbols along with The Wild Geisha. You will receive 8 Geisha Spins where each nudge guarantees up to 4x sticky multiplier. You can win extra Geisha Spins based on the xNudge multiplier. Furthermore, +1 Geisha Spin is awarded if you land an additional Bonus symbol within the feature. On each Geisha Spin, you are guaranteed at least one single Wild on reels 2, 4 or 5. Within both free spins features, Wilds will copy themselves to the bottom row before getting sliced.
The good people of Nolimit City tend to make their games a bit complicated and Bushido Ways xNudge is no exception. However, once you start playing it, you will enjoy every second of the gameplay thanks to an engaging theme and exciting bonus features that can help you win up to 30,000x the bet. The RTP of the game is 96.01%, which is the industry standard. This is a highly volatile slot machine, so play responsibly.
