To be completely honest, sushi is not our favourite food, but we are prepared to make an exception to Playtech’s release. Called Kanpai Banzai, it is a 5-reel video slot that offers 1,024 ways to win. Plenty of raw fish and rice will be waiting for you on the reels, and if you decide to have a taste and play the game, you can pocket up to 10,240x the bet in a single spin. You will get a chance to slice the fish and if you guess a tasty part, you will win payouts, but if you slice the wrong part, you will lose the game.

Those of you who went to a sushi bar will see that the reels function as a track where the food is placed. To get a fresh portion of food on the reels, you will have to spin them, for a starting price of $0.10. The biggest you can wager is $500. The 2020 release features five reels, four rows and benefits from 1,024 ways to win. All you need to do is land at least three matching icons on successive reels, starting from the leftmost reel, and you will begin winning payouts.

We are not experts when it comes to raw fish, and, frankly, we really do not want to know what can be found on the reels, but we can say for a fact that involves Shrimps, Salmon, Rice and some other veggies, while playing cards served on a soup are used as low-paying symbols. A sliced Gold Fish is Scatter that triggers the Tasty Fish feature, while Sake is used as Wild that substitutes for all regular icons.

Land a winning combination during the base game and you will trigger the Cascade feature. Winning symbols will be removed and new ones will fill their places, hopefully creating new winning combos. This is important because, from the second cascade, players will start getting Wild reels. For example, on the second cascade, the 5th reel becomes Wild, and on the following cascades, other reels become Wild as well. After the first six cascades, all reels will be Wild. From seventh to tenth cascades, different two reels will be Wild, and on the tenth cascade, a 2x multiplier appears.

Next, we have the Tasty Fish feature, which is triggered once three sliced Gold Fish Scatters land on the reels. The feature will give you a chance to become a chef and slice the tasty parts of the fish. As long as you slice the tasty parts, your prize will get bigger. Once you get a poisoned slice or slice the entire fish, the feature will be over.

Kanpai Banzai is a very interesting video slot, with an intriguing theme and interesting gameplay, where the reels do not actually spin, but the symbols are moving on a food track from the sushi bar. Of course, the best way to win big in the 2020 release is to use the cascades and get plenty of successive ones. Also, the Tasty Fish feature is quite unique and offers decent payouts as well. We think that even those gamers who are not fond of raw fish will try out the game.
