Swedish online casino game developer Yggdrasil Gaming has really come a long way in the last few years. The developer started out with a slew of slot machines that looked and played almost identically, and it was a real chore to go out and review each of those games. Thankfully, they've matured a lot since their launch, and the games have gotten a lot more complex and featured different themes as well. With the Hanzo's Dojo slot, we see the next advancement from the developer, as we get a bonus set of reels above the game that can dish out some great features.
Hanzo's Dojo is a 5 reel, 25 payline video slot that is set in front of a Japanese pagoda, complete with a cherry blossom tree and a pink sunrise taking place in the background. The ambience here is first-class, and you can even see the plants swaying with the wind in the background. The game's symbols are a combination of different characters mixed with old artwork symbols. Symbols include green waves, purple wind, blue features, red bonsais, a green ninja, a geisha, a samurai warrior, and a sumo wrestler. There is also golden samurai armor, which serves as the game's symbols, as well as Hanzo, who can award bonus spins.
The feature set in Hanzo's Dojo is rich, with one unique twist that makes it different. The game features wild symbols, expanding wilds, scatters, and free spins. The unique thing about this game is that the roof of the dojo has three reels that spin independently, which can award the expanding wilds, or the Hanzo spins. There are free spin boosters in the game as well, which include win both ways, 3x3 symbol nudges, win multipliers, and a wild fifth reel. During the free spins round, you can add more spins by getting the golden +1 symbol to come up. Hanzo's Dojo has a theoretical return to player percentage (RTP) of 96.1%, which is pretty much average for an Yggdrasil slot.
My opinion is that Hanzo's Dojo is an excellent online slot, especially when its weighed against the earlier efforts of Yggdrasil Gaming. The game is a lot of fun to play, and it actually held my interest for a long period. The game plays equally well on both desktop and mobile devices, with no drop in quality between the two. This is a game I highly recommend you give a spin, as the rooftop spins add a lot to what would otherwise be a generic slot.

I thought at first that it should be just another asian themed slot but this game is really unique. I cant say that i like it very much but its involving game. But its not so easy to get these bonuses. For me its is always require a lot of patience.
I think that Yggdrasil was reluctant to make this game. They probably made this game after the success of Bonanza, but this game is missing many good points of Bonanza not to give big wins 🙂
What the heck with the Blank symbol in the roof top?
I won't play this game with real money.
One of the better slots I've been writing about the past few days. From personal experience, I recommend it to everyone.
