Densho Slot Demo

Diving into Hacksaw Gaming‘s Densho, the charm of its Japanese-themed atmosphere is immediate.

According to a quick search on Bing, Densho means “to pass on to the next generation” or “leave a legacy.” It’s often used to describe preserving cultural heritage, such as arts, crafts, and traditional stories and songs.

We don’t think slots are very traditional in Japan, but Hacksaw Gaming has made an effort to respect the visual culture, at least with this game. 

The amazing talent of Hacksaw Gaming’s art team shines through in the game’s visuals, which look like watercolour paintings.

The game’s betting menu offers many choices from 0.10 to 100, and the default RTP is 96.4%—but don’t forget that this can change if you choose bonus buy options. Providers also have the option to choose a lower RTP setting, so check before playing. 

The 5-reel and 4-row grid is crossed by 10 paylines. Players aim to line up symbols from left to right on these paylines: low-paying symbols give 2x rewards for five matches, while high-value symbols payout between 10 to 20 times the bet.

Wild symbols can appear anywhere on the reels. They substitute for whatever symbol you need for a win or pay 20 times the bet if you get five in a row. 

Game Features

Expanded Multiplier Reels

When a Densho symbol expands into a Multiplier Reel to complete winning combinations, it becomes wild, substituting for pay symbols and applying a multiplier to each winning combo. If multiple Multiplier Reels contribute to a win, their multipliers combine. Each reel can host only one Densho symbol, with multipliers varying based on the symbol’s rarity: Common Densho range from x2 to x10, Rare Densho offer x5 to x50, and Legendary Densho provide x10 to x100 multipliers.

Free Spins

Landing three scatters awards ten free spins in the base game. Progression trackers above each reel determine the minimum Densho symbol type that can appear, with upgrade symbols increasing the tracker’s level. Additionally, two scatters in the bonus landing simultaneously in the round grant +2 free spins, while three scatters offer +4 free spins.

Super Free Spins

Triggered by 4 FS scatters, ten super free spins commence with rules akin to regular free spins, but progression trackers begin at level 2 for enhanced potential.
