Designed by Betixon, the December 2018 video slot The Sakura Legend is an adaptation of—and named after—a feudal Japan-era romantic tale depicting the girly cherry blossom tree Sakura’s empathy towards Yohiro, a hope-symbolizing tree whose blossomless fate had a two-decade-long limit before its death.

Ultimately, Yohiro rebloomed after the duo conjoined.

Themes: metaphor, love story, calligraphy, and renewal. Every symbol requires three to five combinations in the 25 fixed left-to-right winning ways to win the X2 to X500 payouts.
