The Ninja Game Characteristics

The Ninja has a partitioned dark 5X3 grid on a golden frame, with two golden dragons coiled up at the top corners. There are eight symbols, 20 adjustable paylines, seven denominations, accumulating black ninjas, six bets per payline choices, 840 total bets, free spins, a side game, and the dynamic regular payouts range from $0.05 to $10000.00.

The Ninja has one special symbol and seven ordinary symbols. Special symbols: the black ninja showing a dog hand sign is a substitute, scatter, and wild.
Ordinary symbols: a red ninja showing a tiger hand sign; a blue ninja with crisscrossing hands; a yellow ninja with pointy fingers; nunchaku (chainsticks) on a ninja’s hands; a golden shuriken (throwing star) on a ninja’s hand; ninja’s smoke bomb; and ninja shuko hand claws.

The Ninja’s coin denominations: $0.01, $0.02, $0.05, $0.1, $0.2, $0.5, and $1. The Ninja’s “bet” per payline choices: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10. Minimum bet size: $0.01. Maximum bet size: $200.00.

Betting $200.00 attracts these The Ninja payouts for three, four, and five winning combinations, respectively. The blue ninja pays $200.00, $1000.00, and $10000.00. The red ninja, or yellow ninja pays $100.00, $600.00, and $5000.00. The nunchaku chainsticks, or shuriken star pays $50.00, $400.00, and $2000.00. Ninja’s smoke bomb, or ninja shuko hand claws pays $50.00, $200.00, and $1000.00.

More than three black ninjas unlock unspecified free spins. Every winning combination lets The Ninja players decide whether to play the side game by clicking the “TAKE RISK” icon or to collect their current win by clicking “TAKE WIN”. After pressing “TAKE WIN”, players are redirected to a card game whose only face up playing card is compared with one of the four face down playing cards that the player is prompted to guess. Predicting a relatively lower face value nullifies the gambled current win; predicting a relatively higher face value doubles the gambled current—capped at X10. The Ninja’s non-progressive jackpot is $10000.00.

Developed for desktop users only, The Ninja’s otherwise good software has session statistics, customizable autoplay settings that can support 10-999 autospins, and a red interface. The ambient music is melodious. A ninja can be heard giving brief commands to his squad. The grid’s background comprises of dragons and pagodas silhouetted against the moonlight in a misty night. The animated 3D graphics include demonstrated hand signs, fluttering cloth strips on ninja’s heads, ninjas lighting a green smoke bomb, and blood splatter effect.
