Chibi Slot

ThunderSpin transports players to a Japanese-style adventure world in Chibi Slot. This five-reel affair offers instant payouts via the Shurikan bonus, as well as free spins with a win multiplier up to 8x.

Theme

The animation style chibi, created in Japan and popularized worldwide primarily through manga comics, will be visually familiar to most players, whether or not they know the style’s precise origins. This 5-reel slot embraces the chibi style, rendering the game screen before a serene green background, with lanterns and pagodas in the distance.

Gaming symbols include four figures rendered in the Chibi style: a warrior, a ninja, a bearded samurai, and a geisha. The Kusari (a chained, medieval weapon) acts as wild, while a pair of crossed Sais act as scatter.

A relaxing soundtrack, dominated by low flutes, keeps gaming energy chill. Lower-value symbols are provided by painted kanji iterations of the playing card symbols ace through jack.

Betting Options and Functions

AGames is a subsidiary of the Malta-based company BOSS., which offers complete casino packages to its clients. Though not a fully independent designer, however, AGames delivers consistently excellent games on par with anything coming out of industry giants such as Microgaming or NetEnt.

Chibi Slot is as strong in its design as the training regimen of any ninja. There are 10 paylines, all paying from left to right. Bet level is adjustable from 1–10, with coin value adjustable from 0.01–1.00 for an overall per-spin bet range of 0.10–100.00 times the betting currency.

Autoplay is available for up to 500 spins, with optional win and loss limits if the feature is engaged through the settings menu, which also allows players to adjust sound and image options, as well as quickspin. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is below-average at 96.2%.

Features

The free spin feature is the key to big wins in Chibi Slot. It is triggered by the Sait scatter symbol – players receive 10–30 free spins, depending how many symbols trigger the bonus. The feature begins with a double win multiplier.

During free spins, the Sai symbol remains on the reels, becoming a as free spin scatter. This is the key to increasing win multipliers during the feature – when it appears, the multiplier is raised from 2x-4x, then from 4x-6x, and finally from 6x-8x.

There is also a separate, Shurikan (throwing star) bonus on offer. Two or more Shurikans trigger the feature:

the received Shurikans are launched at the targets, each triggering a instant payout of 2-10x the bet size, depending the accuracy of the hit.

Our Take

AGames has again released a well-built, feature-packed slot with an appealing theme and disappointing RTP. Better odds are available in Gold Sea, AGames’ underwater-themed slot.
