Midnight in Tokyo

There’s a team of ninja’s, sneaking through the shadows of the Tokyo night ready to do what’s needed in order to bring you in on the cut – or should we say cat! That cut is something you really want to get your paws on, and it’s all part of Midnight in Tokyo, an Asian cat-themed title that actually lets you adjust the game's volatility. It is undoubtedly one of the more innovative online casino games we’ve seen lately, and let’s not forget there’s also the Hold the Jackpot Bonus, where huge cash prizes can be claimed through a respins sequence. There’s even more here, and we’ll be covering it all in our latest review.

Midnight in Tokyo was created by a casino software studio called Wazdan, and they've done an outstanding job when it comes to graphics and creative design. The theme follows three cats clad in ninja attire as they sneak through the shadows of one of Asia's biggest cities. The Asian theme does get overused, as our casino site has only just reviewed slot machines online, such as Thai Flower Megaways and Floating Dragon. Still, it isn’t quite as overused as the Egyptian theme. What is quite purr-some about Midnight in Tokyo is that you can adjust the game’s volatility. This means you can set the slot to achieve more wins but have less value, or make it so that there are fewer wins, but they return bigger prizes. The levels are low, medium and high, which players will enjoy experimenting with.

Playing Midnight in Tokyo is quite unique in that the most the slot pays depends on what variance setting you are using at the time. However, it appears as if 3,000x your bet is what you can expect as the maximum win amount using the 243 paylines available. The highest possible wager is one that will supply high rollers with the thrills they are definitely looking for, while players looking to take things easy and enjoy their comfortable iGaming experience will find the minimum bet starting as low as 10p.

There are three cat characters that act as special symbols and will be the symbols you'll probably want landing more than others during the base game. The cat donning a black outfit as well as the cat wearing a rising sun bandana are wild symbols and will act as any regular symbol to make up winning paylines. The cat holding the fan is the bonus symbol. There is also a moon symbol that only appears in the bonus feature. The symbols that are regular start in value with the playing card royals J, Q, K and A. The next group of common symbols have a slightly higher value and consist of a blue, green, red and pink medallion. The pink medallion is the highest paying regular symbol.

There isn’t a free spins feature in Midnight in Tokyo but rather a ‘respins' feature. You can find a huge selection of online slot games here, and not many go this route. Regardless, by landing three bonus symbols on the same spin, you'll have triggered the Bonus Jackpot Game. You're given three respins with all moon symbols and bonus symbols sticking to the reels when they fall. The moon symbols have cash values attached that are tallied at the end of the feature. Every time the two above mentioned symbols land in the respins, they reset the number to 3. Depending on the number of bonus symbols collected during the feature, a jackpot multiplier is added to the original wager. Collecting 3 bonus symbols is 5x, 4 bonus symbols is 10x, 5 bonus symbols 150x and 6 bonus symbols 1,000x.

Another thing to note is that the two wilds split adjacent symbols vertically or horizontally to create more wins than the average wild icon.

Players with a need for wagering thrills can also make use of the gamble feature to be a hero or drop to zero. This is an entertaining slot, and the main reason is that the bonus features aren't just interactive games but instead there to bring in the extra cash prizes. Players can play for fun, which will help you in getting used to Midnight in Tokyo and how the bonuses work before going in for real cash wagers. There are prizes here to really get you rubbing your paws together in anticipation.
