Spinomenal has opened the year with the release of Kami Reign Ultra Mode, adding a new title to its long-running Mythology Series. The iGaming content provider introduced the game on Monday 5th January, positioning it as a feature-driven slot built around Japanese folklore and a layered Free Spins journey.
The slot places players in a twilight forest setting framed by a torii gate and flowering cherry blossoms. A 5x4 reel layout sits at the center of the design, while an oriental-style soundtrack reinforces the setting throughout gameplay. Visual elements and audio cues work together to establish a consistent atmosphere from the base game through to the bonus rounds.
Japanese Spirits Shape The Core Gameplay
Kami Reign Ultra Mode draws on four figures from Japanese mythology, each represented as a spirit with a dedicated Free Spins stage. The characters include Kitsune the Fox Spirit, Raijin the Thunder Demon, Jorōgumo the Spider Woman, and Amaterasu the Sun Goddess. These figures do not simply act as visual symbols but define how each bonus phase plays out.
Wild symbols replace all regular icons except the Free Spins symbol, and landing five matching symbols on a payline returns a win worth up to 300 times the stake. During the base game, a random win multiplier may appear as the reels spin, increasing payouts by either x2 or x3 when triggered.
A Japanese Maple Tree functions as the standard Free Spins symbol. When three of these land, the game activates the Free Spins sequence. Each trigger advances the player to the next spirit-themed feature, creating a structured path through the bonus content rather than a single standalone round.
Ultra Scatter And Evolving Free Spins Modes
An additional layer appears through the Ultra Scatter Free Spins, represented by a Divine Cherry Blossom Tree. This symbol enhances the Free Spins experience by upgrading the features tied to each spirit.
The Free Spins journey begins with Kitsune’s Guaranteed Wins. In this stage, any spin that does not produce a win immediately triggers a respin that ensures a payout. Progressing further unlocks Raijin’s Sticky Wilds, where Sticky Wild symbols may land during reel spins and remain in place until the Free Spins round ends. When Ultra Mode is active, each respin during this phase increases a multiplier that starts at x2 and climbs with consecutive respins, resetting only after a winning spin occurs.
The third phase introduces Jorōgumo’s Synced Reels feature. On every spin, two reels mirror each other with identical symbols. If Ultra Mode applies, the game syncs three reels instead of two, increasing the chances of aligned wins.
The final stage belongs to Amaterasu’s Stacked Wilds Respin. Fully landing stacked Wild symbols triggers respins, and Ultra Mode guarantees stacked Wilds on every spin across all five reels. When two stacked Wilds land fully, the game initiates another respin sequence.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Kami Reign Ultra Mode takes players on an awesome Asian adventure alongside four Japanese spirits. Stunning graphics, rich storytelling and progressive features all help build an experience that players will adore.”

Feels like a strong start for the series this year. The myth inspired bonuses and the step-by-step free rounds bring a nice twist to the game, plus Ultra Mode seems like a fun extra feature to check out!

Nice concept overall, especially the way each spirit brings a different Free Spins feature. Ultra Mode sounds like a fun extra layer.
