Kalamba Games gets regal with Megaways™ Bushido Princess
The Japanese way of the warrior and code of conduct for the legendary Samurai is the inspiration for Kalamba Games’ latest title, Megaways™ Bushido Princess.
Cherry blossoms flutter in the air past traditional Japanese homes on the backdrop to the five reel slot that features a selection of iconic Japanese symbols, such as katana blades, along with shuriken and kunai which must be synchronised to form wins of up to 30,000x the bet.
Wilds substitute any base game symbols making it easier to create a win, randomly expanding to trigger respins and gain a multiplier to boost winning potential. Wilds will also collect any K-Cash instant prizes that have landed on the game board to further increase any win values.
HyperBet allows players to enhance the free spins round with three maximum multiplier and starting spin options available. To gain entry to the Free Spins, a scatter symbol must be landed on reels one and five with the HyperBet option deciding the number of spins awarded.
Here, any expanded wild awards an additional three spins with multiple expanding wilds being key to claiming the title’s maximum potential win.
An engrossing and immersive journey through feudal Japan, Megaways™ Bushido Princess marks a busy period of releases for Kalamba Games with Heimdall’s Gate, Wilds From the Crypt and the return of one of Kalamba’s greatest slots of all time, Blazing Bull Remastered contributing to a Q2 of incredible content for Kalambas’ loyal fans.
Alex Cohen, COO and Co-Founder at Kalamba Games said: “Megaways™ Bushido Princess is an artistically beautiful game that will immerse players in mystical Japanese heritage as they test their mettle with the Princess in search for wins.
“A collection of fast-paced features and mechanics accompany players through the samurai-themed action in a game of sharp-edged slot action that we know Kalamba fans will have a huge amount of fun with.”
