Yakuza Slots

When we first saw the Yakuza slot game title, we wondered what on earth it might be about. It is fair for us to state that we were not ready for the answer. We did suspect that it may have an Asian theme, and we were correct about that. Will you guess the answer?

Yakuza is the Japanese version of the Mafia

Well, our research suggests it is a close comparison, anyway, since this is a crime group that is known in the country. This is an unusual theme for a slot game, or so you might think, although there have been several other slots based on similar ideas in the past – not least the Slotfather, if you’ve ever seen that.

Yakuza puts a Japanese spin on things to keep it fresh and engaging, and it works rather well, too. You can expect many characters to appear during the game, all of whom are likely to be up to no good, too. At least you can safely play the demo without risk of losing any cash to these gangsters. This should give you time to figure out the rules of the game and to see if real bets might suit you too.

Read through the game’s paytable to get the basics in place first

Nothing replaces taking any slot game for a proper spin, of course. However, you can learn plenty about a game simply by looking through its paytable. You can do that for Yakuza too, by accessing the paytable from the bottom of the screen upon loading the game.

Consider whether you might want to chase after some free games

It looks as though this could be a possibility in this slot game, although as usual you will need to locate enough scatter symbols to make this happen. The Yakuza slot is fairly formulaic in terms of its format, although not with its characters and Japanese setting, as we have seen.

There is only one way to determine if the Yakuza theme is for you – and that’s by jumping into the demo. Will this convince you it’s good to play?
