Swintt shows off their shogun spirit in new Samurais Pleasure slot
Having previously explored the wonders of ancient China in popular Premium releases like Jade Princess and Lucky Fortune Door, this month Swintt is turning its attentions to pre-modern Japan as it invites players to walk the warrior’s path in their new Samurais Pleasure slot.
A five-reel, ten-payline game that draws its inspiration from the honourable Ronin who maintained law and order in the land of the rising sun up until the late 19th century, Samurais Pleasure takes place to a backdrop of towering castles and boasts a beautifully-designed set of custom symbols on its reels.
Unique icons that capture the atmosphere of the era include paper lanterns and ornate hand fans, with a smiling princess and an armour-clad samurai serving as the slot’s two highest-value symbols. Beyond that, players will see that the conventional ace-through-ten playing card values have all been given a Far Eastern flourish and Swintt’s signature “book” scatter symbol also makes a welcome return.
Almost an omnipresent feature across SwinttPremium releases, this special icon is the key to activating Samurais Pleasure’s main bonus round and will award 10 free spins whenever three or more books appear in any reel positions. Should players wish to increase their chances of triggering the free spins, however, they can also elect to double their total bet and activate the slot’s optional book respin mode.
When this feature is enabled, landing two books will automatically trigger an additional respin and give players one more chance to find the final scatter they need in order to enter the free spins round.
However they get there, after activating the bonus players will be presented with a book whose pages will slowly turn before revealing which random icon will be chosen to expand throughout the feature.
Any instances of this symbol that appear during the free spins will stretch to fill their entire column providing a payline win can be created – and best of all, expanding mystery symbols do not need to be adjacent to each other to award a payout. On top of that, landing a further three book scatters during the feature will not only award 10 more free spins, but also an additional expanding mystery symbol.
As a final incentive for all SwinttPremium slot shoguns, the studio’s popular Risk feature also makes a welcome return. An optional mini-game that can be activated after any winning spin, Risk requires players to correctly guess the colour of a hidden playing card to double the value of their current prize, with multiple Risk rounds available until either an incorrect pick is made or the maximum prize is won.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “This month, Swintt is inviting all honourable slot shoguns to come and walk the warrior’s path with us in our new Samurais Pleasure slot – an exciting addition to our Premium line-up that once again includes free spins with expanding mystery symbols.
“Laid out in a 5×3 reel matrix with 10 fixed paylines, Samurais Pleasure boasts the pick-up-and-play appeal of a classic land-based slot machine coupled with the huge payout potential of 5,000x maximum wins, making it the ideal choice for players who enjoy medium volatility and frequent hits.”

Find out what presents await in Gaming Corps’ latest Smash4Cash™ title, Xmas Unwrapped.
Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game studio based in Sweden, is proud to announce the release of its latest Smash4Cash™ game, Xmas Unwrapped.
Thanks to the innovative team at Gaming Corps, Christmas has arrived early this year with the release of Xmas Unwrapped. This highly engaging title challenges players to smash open beautifully wrapped presents to discover festive treats worth up to 5,000x their stake and a selection of joyous bonus features.
The game invites players to settle in for some cosy holiday fun around the Christmas tree. They will encounter a single Christmas gift, with two rows of three presents on either side. The aim of the game is simple: unwrap the present and get your hands on the festive surprises inside.
It is just not cash prizes that players can unwrap. After opening a present, the Multiplier feature can be activated. A random Multiplier will be revealed, and it will then be applied to the next present that is opened.
The Rampage feature can also be unwrapped. This sees automatic attempts to open presents, with two or more presents guaranteed to enter during the round. Those lucky enough to be super high on the nice list might trigger the Multiplier Rampage mode, which combines the two.
There is also the possibility of opening an instant-win prize. Six can be won: the Mini, Minor, Major, Mega, Grand, and Super, which are worth 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 500x, and 5,000x the player’s stake, respectively.
Xmas Unwrapped also allows players to bump their way up the nice list and unlock the bonus features using the Feature Buy Mechanic.
Xmas Unwrapped is the latest title to utilise Gaming Corps’ popular Smash4Cash™mechanic, following in the footsteps of big hits like Buffalo Smash4Cash™ and Piggy Smash Smash4Cash™.
Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, said: “At Gaming Corps, we love getting in the festive spirit and releasing a brand-new Xmas-themed title has become a holiday tradition for us.
The Smash4Cash™ is one of our flagship features, and what better time to treat our customers to another dose of Smash4Cash™ fun than Christmas?”
