Slot Summary

Splitting a landed symbol into several copies turns swordplay into the central rule of SHŌGUN, TaDa Gaming's slot set on the battlefields of Imperial Japan. The warrior theme does more than establish a setting: the character's blade changes what the reels can count, and that intervention becomes more persistent during free spins.

How It Plays

The special row above the main reels determines the splitting effect. A single sword creates 2 copies, double swords create 3, and triple swords create 4 copies of symbols beneath them.

The laurel-crown wild substitutes for ordinary paying symbols but cannot replace scatter or bonus symbols. This separates its role in completing combinations from the symbols responsible for activating special play.

Bonus & Free Spins

The pagoda scatter triggers an initial award of 7 free spins. Swords landing on the top row remain in place and can upgrade during the feature, while each additional pagoda scatter adds another free spin.

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 (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (97.00%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,000×).

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.
