Sakura Fortune 2

Good day to all our readers, and welcome back to our casino site for a review of a very noble follow up slot. Sakura Fortune 2 comes from the honourable house of Quickspin, and with this sequel title, there's far more honour to the reels than there was in the original. You'll be treated to details of a bonus feature where free spins come with sticky expanding wilds. There's also a superb 22,482x your stake that can be sliced up and served to you quicker than you can say sushi! Let us join these five reels and see how Sakura Fortune 2 compares to the many top online slot games present in our establishment.

Sakura Fortune 2 comes out of the Quickspin stable, and serves as a very visual follow up to the original that came five years earlier. As far as themes go, this one is quite serene and calming, at least in comparison with previous releases from Quickspin like Big Bad Wolf Megaways or Dinosaur Rage. The music is entirely Japanese, enhancing the Samurai theme that has been created. One of the noticeable differences is that while this is another of the many five reel online slots you can play here, reels 1 and 5 consist of 3 rows, while reels 2, 3 and 4 consist of 4. While the theme might be quite calming, there are high levels of volatility across the five reels, so better to spin with a responsible strategy and not get carried away when wins dry up at times.

The number of paylines has been increased substantially in Sakura Fortune 2 from 40 all the way up to 576, providing all our iGamers with more chances on which to land 3, 4 and 5 of a kind winning combinations. We’re still not too sure if the numbers provided to us are correct for the first instalment, but Quickspin made only 400x your stake the maximum win amount. Fast forward five years to Sakura Fortune 2, and you'll find an impressive 22,482x your stake as the maximum win you can achieve.

The ancient coins serve as the symbols paying lower values for 3, 4 and 5 of a kind wins. There are 4 of them being the jade, bronze, silver and gold coins. The higher value icons are objects and characters from the tale of Sakura Fortune 2, being the Koi Statue, the Jizo Statue and, the Samurai warrior Yoshida, then Tomoe and last Sensei.

As you might remember, Sakura is the heroine of the story, and she still serves as the wild symbol. There are two versions of these, and both fall on the middle three reels. Look out for the scatter icon, which can trigger the bonus for easy wins.

Before we get the primary bonus feature, you might notice that wilds can nudge other symbols down to possibly fill an entire reel, becoming stacked. If this happens, the wild reel will become sticky, and a respin will occur, possibly resulting in a win.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when you land three or more scatter icons on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. Instead of the spins commencing right away, reels 1 and 5 will respin to possibly reveal 1 or 2 extra scatters to boost the spins. Having 3 scatters rewards you with nine free spins, while 4 scatters sees ten free spins with one sticky wild reel on each spin, and 5 scatters sees 11 free spins with two sticky wild reels for the duration of the spins. The wilds can still land during free spins, so you might actually have a scenario where all three middle reels are stacked with wilds. This will see your wins receive a 3x multiplier.

When it comes to bonus features, we don't see anything in Sakura Fortune 2 that would compete with the best slots online available to play here. However, the sticky wild reels do come in handy on a regular basis, and if that free spins feature can be triggered on a regular basis then this will be by no means be a kamikaze effort. You can play slots free here for a chance to see how this casino game works for you with zero risk, but to really bring honour to your house, it'll take wagering for real cash.
