Shinobi Moon

Stealth - the ninja’s middle name. Realistic Games’ Shinobi Moon is one of the few slots out there dedicated to Japan’s secretive assassins, the ninja. Join our heroine on the rooftops, make friends with the shadows, and pursue a jackpot worth 4,500x your stake.
A 5x4 reel video slot with 50 paylines, Shinobi Moon features an arsenal of sharp weapons as symbols. These include the grappling hook, smoke bomb, and the infamous shuriken or throwing star. Play for the New Moon Respins feature and the Free Spins mode.
Shinobi Moon fits neatly into the same category as other Asia-themed slots at LeoVegas, including Lucky Koi, Big Bamboo, and Densho. So, if you find a love for the Far East in Shinobi Moon, be sure to try those games out too.
For now, let’s check out Shinobi Moon while our ninja character still has the cover of darkness on her side.

Realistic Games has added two bonus features to the Shinobi Moon slot. They’re similar to each other but there’s enough going on to make them both worthwhile. This secret pair is guided by the bonus symbol, a sakura tree on a blue background, and the game’s wild.

You'll need wild symbols - a yellow moon - on the second, third, fourth, and fifth reels to trigger New Moon Respins. The player gets three re-spins as a starter in this mode.
Any wilds that appear on the reels (except reel one, which moves continuously) during this feature become sticky. They become framed wilds and then stacked wilds depending on how many more wilds land on the board. This mechanic is known as Stick & Stack.
Each subsequent wild adds a multiplier of up to 3x. Note that wins are only paid out once New Moon Respins has ended.

Get three, four, or five bonus symbols and receive 10, 12, or 15 free turns at the reels, respectively. The main difference between this mode and New Moon Respins (other than Stick & Stack) is that wins are given to the player immediately.

As hinted at earlier, ninja imagery is central to Shinobi Moon's aesthetic in this Realistic Games slot. Inevitably, then, the ninja character pays the most in a combination along the fifty paylines, giving 2.50 for five symbols.
The shuriken comes next, at 1.50 for five pictures, while the sai, bomb, and grappling hook are worth 1.50, 1.25, and 1.00, respectively. All the other positions in the paytable are taken up by playing card ranks.
These stylised letters and numbers can net the player between 0.50 for five Aces and 0.05 for three 10s. Shinobi Moon is definitely one of the lower-paying slots out, but that does mean it can be more comfortable to play for beginners.

The Shinobi Moon slot is fairly standard as far as layout is concerned. The Spin button and wager controls are located in the right-hand column, in addition to the audio and hamburger menu. Put another way, if you've played another modern slot recently, you'll be fine with this one too.
The hamburger menu reveals this online slot's paytable, game rules, general info, and a second place to set your bet. This is consistent across all game versions. Play Shinobi Moon on iOS/Android, as well as in your browser window, at LeoVegas.

Realistic Games unleashed this particular ninja in August 2023. The game wears its connection to the night and the moon on its sleeve by opting for twilight colours, namely, pastel oranges and purples. The symbols themselves are a bit brighter, however.
A feudal-era temple decorates the background of the Shinobi Moon slot, firmly establishing this online slot as a window into the golden age of the ninja. The teachings of this group of warriors are almost extinct today, after all.
As far as audio is concerned, the music is kept firmly in the background, with just a low drumbeat to accompany the spinning reels. It’s a rather peaceful game, overall, despite its subject matter.
Finally, watch out for the moving clouds and mist, as well as the ninja that sometimes hops off the buildings in the background.
