Extend Slot Play with the Shinobi Video Slot

The Shinobi slot is another great video slot machine from International Game Technology and they have made 9 versions of this game. The idea to create the Shinobi slot came from a video game in Japan which was very popular with kids. The Shinobi video slot however, was not created to encourage children to gamble, because the kids themselves who used to play Shinobi are now all grown up and can gamble legally.

The Shinobi video slot has 5 reels and 20 paylines. It has a ninja theme and depending on the version being played, the wagers on the Shinobi video slot could vary. The biggest wager is somewhere between 400 to as much as 1000 credits depending on the version.

There are several bonus games in the Shinobi slot and one of it is the Shinobi Scatter. The icon to watch out for in this bonus round is the scatter icons and it must appear thrice at the same time for the bonus round to start. Once in the bonus round, the player has to choose one of the three scatter icons and whatever value that icon might have is what the player wins in the bonus round.

Of course, what's a ninja themed slot without a Ninja Battle bonus round? The pagoda icons trigger this bonus round when at least two of them appear on any of the five reels. Once this bonus round starts in the Shinobi video slot, the player gets to watch a clip of a ninja battle and in the bonus game, it's the player's job to make sure his ninja wins so as to garner the most points.

The Shinobi slot has a third bonus game called the Ninja Free Spins. Once 3 warrior icons are displayed on 3 reels this bonus round starts and the player automatically gets five free spins. The goal during the spins in the Shinobi slot is to look for the 3rd eye icon and to have it displayed on any of the middle reels. Once it does, the Shinobi video slot awards the player with an additional 5 free spins. This bonus round seems endless, continuing until 250 spins or until no 3rd eye symbol appears, making it the perfect way to extend game play in the Shinobi video slot.

The biggest jackpot that anybody has ever won in the Shinobi slot is 500,000 coins. This can be won with maximum bet and if the shinobi icons appear on all reels.
