Slashimi Review

This reviewer was never a huge fan of sushi, but that may be due to mistaking the super-spicy wasabi for mashed peas the first time testing the Japanese delicatesse. We don’t mind a good sushi slot though, and Slashimi made a good first impression with its massive 3x5 grid and neat looking sushi symbols. The chef on the left-hand side is charming enough as well, and he knows how to cut and slice like a pro.

There is slicing and cutting going on in all stages of this game, as the main feature is the Two-For-One Symbol Splitting. This happens to random symbols per spin, and it’s your best shot at landing larger payouts due to the rather modest symbol values. You get to choose your favorite sushi symbol in the bonus round, and this becomes both a splitting and sticky symbol. The higher on the paytable you go, the more volatile the feature becomes, and the max win is 5,000x your stake.

Slashimi Slot Features

You win by landing matching symbols on all 3 reels regardless of which row they appear on, and the premium sushi symbols pay between 0.2 and 0.5 x your stake for a win. The soy sauce bottle Wild symbol steps in for all pay symbols to help complete wins, and landing 3 wilds across the 3 reels award 1x your stake.

The Sushi Chef seen on the right has a display over his head, and this display will slide in a randomly selected pay symbol per spin.

Symbols will sometimes land with a fluorescent wasabi icon attached, and you need 3 of those in view to trigger the Bonus Round. This gives you 4 free spins, and you get +1 extra spin for each wasabi icon you land during the feature. You get to choose a pay symbol up front, and all instances of the chosen symbol will split when they appear. In addition, the split symbols become sticky for the duration of the bonus round.

You get to see a near-miss bonus round teaser, as well as a few base game wins, before we finally trigger the bonus round at 0:38 into the 1:38 highlights video.

Review Summary

This is definitely not your typical Play’n Go release, but Slashimi does serve up a decent dish in terms of simple and to-the-point gameplay. The symbol values are rather low though, and without the two for one symbol splitting you’re looking at single spin max wins of 62.5x your stake. That might buy you a Sushi lunch or dinner depending on your bet level, but we wouldn’t have minded some kind of multiplier action to spice this thing up a bit.

The game is visually pleasing though, and sushi lovers will probably enjoy the show the chef is putting on. Getting only 4 initial free spins was a bit of a surprise, and the feature can be over in a blink with little to show for it many times. Even with the maxed out 1,000 win ways the single spin max win is only 500x your stake, so closing in on the 5,000x potential seems harder than usual. It requires 6 extra free spins, and the max payout on all 10 free spins, to put it into perspective.

Pros

• Randomly chosen symbol split per spin
• FS w/ chosen splitting sticky symbol
• Win up to 5,000x your stake

Cons

• Single spin max win is 500x
• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
