Remember all those inspiring stories about the Japanese warriors, samurai? The men who feared no death, who put honor first, whose discipline is still widely known and respected. Each samurai had a master, but if by evil fortune they were deprived of a master, they would become ronins. A master-less ronin was not a highly desirable title, but with time it became more and more acceptable.
If you’re an admirer of this disciplined culture, and want to get involved in a ronin story, you should pay attention to RTG’s progressive video slot under the same name: “Ronin.” On its five reels, you’ll have a chance to see some of the traditional samurai items: wonderfully decorated horses, helmets, flags, and ronins. Its typical Japanese background only adds to already authentic overall impression. And the sounds will take you to a meditation session which prepared ronins for a new battle.
To be able to spin the reels and see what ronins have prepared for you, you’ll have to think about money first. The sums you can pick to place can go from $0.01 to $5 per coin. So, if you play on the maximum number of 20 lines, you’ll have quite a varied selection of bet amounts, going up to $100 per spin. But regardless of the differences in the bet sums, any amount can win you a progressive jackpot, which is growing bigger and bigger every second. As it is awarded completely randomly, there’s a chance to win it whenever the reels stop.
Wild & Scatter Symbol:
This may be defined as the most confusing part of the game. While everything else is clear, the number of wild symbols remains unknown. Since ronin is defined as a scatter symbol, you’d think it doesn’t replace other symbols. But it does. It substitutes for all other symbols except koku, which is another side of this perplexing wild/scatter symbol combination. Namely, koku is officially the wild symbol, which replaces all other symbols except scattered ronin. The only difference is that koku can be seen only on reel 3, and prizes derived with its help are doubled.
Special Features:
In case you receive a koku and two ronins anywhere, you stand a great chance at boosting your balance, because there are three features that this combination may trigger. One of them is a re-spin feature, in which reel 3 is held, and the others respin 3 to 10 times. And if you get 2 or more ronins during this feature, you will be awarded with additional 3 to 10 spins. The second is free games feature 1, in which you receive 5 free spins, with prize multiplier increasing with each spin (1x for the first, 2x for the second, etc.). This feature can be retriggered only once. Last but by no means the least comes free games feature 2, which will reward you with 25 free spins and 3x multiplier during those. Luckily, this one can be retriggered, which gives you more chances to win big.
It’s not all about money, though. This slot may yet drive you to do a little research on Japanese culture and bravery, and perhaps adopt some of the samurai stamina and peacefulness. So, even if you don’t win anything, you will be able to keep your calm, and this may as well be the most important lesson you learn in “Ronin.”

A slow and boring slot that rarely even pays on line connections. Highly volatile, and I would personally recommend avoiding at RtG casinos

This is a very slow slot and seems somewhat sluggish. I personally am not a fan but it is likely to have potential payout significantly if you are like a lucky enough to catch it when it's volatile

Had to change my rating here now that I have more experiance playing RTG slots. The name might sound cool but beware, from my experience this is a waste of ti.e and money. I had no luck with this old game and not to many others did as well from the sound of it.

This is another RTG game that you'll have to download the casino to be able to play. This one is generally harder to win on I believe the volatility is higher but it's definitely a fun Chinese theme game with swords and fairly good graphics colorful reels and some cool sounds as well. It don't take my word for it give it...

It don't take my word for it give it a try as soon as you get a chance you won't regret it. Just don't forget a lot of these older games you must download the casino to your computer in order to access these older games just a friendly reminder.

I have played this many a times and enjoyed this game over the years. The free spins do trigger quite often but can be a tad bit boring if you looking for a fast paced game as the reels tend to be on the slow side. The samurai theme is always enticing and the betting range is very appealing.

I can only ever play this game anymore on the bovada group casinos instead of any of the normal RTG casinos I play at maybe it's because I use mobile more often than not. It's antiquated and yes other comments are correct you cannot speed up the reels so you have to a little patience with this one but the bonuses are really...

Ronin is okay for an older game. It is, however, very slow paced & kind of dull. If you're one of those people who likes to slowly play, watching each reel slowly come to a stop, this game might be for you. I prefer being able to stop the reels at my own will & this one just drives me nuts

ronin slot is one of the games that I prefer because a while ago I won a jackpot which appeared with a minimum bet that I made in currencie zar, well the game has 3 types of features, for me better they are the 25 free spins feature, the others are very limited with a little luck the results are very good.

Solid slot. Classic RTG title, and a lot of fun to play. RTG graphics and designs aren't for everyone I guess. But, it is a solid overall game in my opinion. Can deliver big, and has fun bonus features to keep you entertained while playing.

Despite the fact Ronin slot is very old, I still like sometimes playing this game, because of its great features (there are 3 different features). Nothing to say about base game which is a bit boring, but the features make this slot more interesting than the average.

Easy to understand and was fair with free spins - One of the better RTG slots I've played.
