How to cite

Slot Summary

Japanese folklore takes a confrontational form in Yokai, Phantom Interactive's fantasy slot with demons, samurai imagery, and reel-filling VS symbols. The encounters matter mechanically: a single arriving symbol can transform an entire reel. That gives the supernatural cast a functional role, while retained wilds make the bonus feel like an accumulating occupation of the playing area.
MechanicsVS symbols reveal full-reel multipliers

How It Plays

Ordinary wins require matching symbols across adjacent reels from the left edge. Wilds substitute for paying symbols, helping complete combinations without requiring the matching character or gemstone in every position.

The payout symbols include several folklore characters alongside lower-paying gemstones. The demon samurai is the most valuable regular character, so equal-length combinations can have substantially different paytable values.

Bonus & Free Spins

Landing three bonus symbols opens the standard free-spins feature. During the round, VS symbols become full-reel wilds that stay in place, allowing later spins to use the coverage already established.

Bankroll survival simulator

How long could a bankroll last on Yokai? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

Volatility tier: High

Running simulation…
How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.00%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (25,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
