Ninja Ways (Red Tiger Gaming): Review

After being offered exclusively at just a handful of selected casinos, Ninja Ways is now ready to launch across all Red Tiger Gaming casinos. This polished martial arts-themed slot, playable on any device with stakes ranging from 0.20 to 10 Eur per spin, uses a 6 reels, 4,096 ways to win setup and packs in plenty of extras. Among them is a randomly triggered feature that can drop in multiplier wilds, mega symbols and matching combinations. There’s also a noteworthy free spin feature, which we’ll cover in more detail below.

Visually, it feels very much in line with the typical Red Tiger style, and it could easily be the work of the same team behind many of their other releases. Even so, Ninja Ways is a bold attempt and clearly ranks among the best-looking titles in the Red Tiger portfolio. Set in Japan, soft waves of pink and blue sweep across the night sky while city lights glow in the distance, creating an excellent backdrop. The reels sit inside a temple frame and feature a set of sleek, elegantly drawn symbols with a cartoon-like finish.

On the reels you’ll see Japanese-style A, K, Q, J and 10 royals, alongside 4 premium symbols shown as nunchakus, shurikens, sai melee weapons, and the Ninja Ways logo. The logo is the top payer, awarding 8 times the stake for 6 across a payline. The Manga-style Ninja serves as the wild and substitutes for all regular symbols except the scatter.

Like many Red Tiger slots, the base game includes a random feature. It can activate at any moment, with the Ninja swooping across the screen to apply one of three modifiers:

• Ninja Door: a mystery door appears and reveals a massive 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 sized mega symbol.
• Ninja Wilds: the ninja flips across the reels, dropping multiplier wilds of up to 8x along the way.
• Ninja Ways: the ninja shows up moving across the reels, leaving behind groups of matching symbols in his trail.

To activate the bonus, players must land at least 5 scatters adjacent from left to right. There isn’t a set number of free spins. Instead, the total changes because each scatter symbol grants a random number of spins. The free spin feature plays the same as the base game, with the added advantage that all three modifiers remain active throughout, so you can expect reel-boosting modifiers to appear on every single spin.

Ninja Ways (Red Tiger Gaming): Conclusion

Ninja Ways could easily be one of Red Tiger Gaming’s strongest releases so far. Choosing 4 reels and 4,096 win ways rather than restricting the game with limited paylines was a smart move, and the modifiers, which show up quite often, do a great job of supporting the base game and making it nearly as engaging as the free spin feature itself. On top of that, the gameplay runs smoothly, nothing feels irritating or intrusive, and the visual presentation is excellent as well.

Just remember that it’s a fairly volatile slot, with plenty of swings between highs and lows. If you catch it at the right moment, though, the payouts can be very rewarding. Ninja Ways offers a 10,000x max win potential, and it’s not merely a claim either—we’ve seen many players hit true max wins before on Red Tiger slots.
