Slashimi review

Theme and Storyline

Slashimi is a sushi-themed slot designed and developed by Play’n Go. The slot is set in a quiet sushi restaurant where the chef is slicing up sushi right in front of your eyes as you spin the reels.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Play’n Go has decided to attempt to capture the chilled-out vibes of a sushi restaurant in the later hours of the evening with the Slashimi slot. The aforementioned chef stands just off the reels, cutting up chunks of sushi and adding to the zen atmosphere.

The reels themselves are populated by little bits of animated sushi, all of which look great. Some subtle animations help bring the symbols to life; occasionally, the chef chucks a fish up into the air and slices it, while the Sushi on the reels are all quite lively.

This is all complemented perfectly by a relaxing, Asian-inspired soundtrack that really helps to set the mood. It is definitely one of Play’n Go’s more memorable recent designs.

Gameplay

The Slashimi slot game inverts the traditional reel structure. There are three reels in the game, each of which displays five symbols. This allows the slot to offer 100 ways to win, though this can be increased up to 1,000 with the help of the Two-For-One bonus.

Like all Play’n Go slots, the stake adjustment options are found beneath the reels, with players hitting the +/- buttons to scroll from left to right. There is also an autospin feature available if you just want to soak up the atmosphere and let the reels do the hard work.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Play’n Go has added some nice bonus features into the mix. A box above the chef’s head highlights a different symbol on each reel. This is for the Two-For-One feature. Whenever an instance of this symbol hits on the reels, it will instantly be split into two, increasing the ways to win at the same time.

Landing three Scatter symbols will launch the Free Spins round. At the start of the round, players will only have four spins. However, every instance of a Scatter in the round adds an additional spin.

Before the round starts, players can pick which symbol is active for the Two-For-One feature. As well as splitting in two, the symbols will also be sticky and will stick to the reels for the rest of the spins.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The numbers involved for Slashimi are all good. The maximum win that can be secured is 5,000x the player’s stake. The RTP sits at 96.2%, putting it just above average. The slot is considered to be medium volatility by Play’n Go. We always recommend looking out for high volatility slots in our slot strategy guide.

Conclusion

Sushi is not a theme that is explored very often in slots, and Play’n Go has done a great job of doing something that feels a little different with Slashimi. The slot has an excellent design and a fun-theme. The Two-For-One feature keeps each spin interesting, and the Free Spins, when used in combination with the feature, offer some good winning potential.
