Wasabi San, the tasty sushi treat, has been transported from table to video slot by the team at Microgaming. Various comical elements are drawn together over its five reels which include scatters, multipliers and free spins. There’s also an authentic oriental sound track and combined sound effects which makes Wasabi-San an all round entertaining experience.

Wasabi-San Slot Theme

A bamboo structure ‘supports’ the reels with colorful line markers down either flank and a lime green Wasabi-San logo above. A voluptuous red has been used to back each of the slots reels which contain three icons each.

A mixture of icons bring the slot to life. The main ones include pufferfish, bonsai trees, sushi chefs, Geisha, launderette workers and Wasabi logos. These icons are joined by a variety of sushi treats which include California rolls, Ebi/Nigiri, Temaki and Maki.

Oriental music accompanies every action with various tracks for different features. Many of the icons also include their own sound bites which adds extra humor. The chef for example swishes his knifes around before letting out a kung fu ‘hiya’.

The combination of graphics, music, animation and sound effects present a well rounded package. In layperson's terms this slot is an epic play.

Betting Options and More Functions

Players aren’t restricted too much in the amount they want to bet. In fact we’d be very surprised if players can’t find an ideal bet between the 0.01 and $/£/€75 betting range.

Wasabi San Slot Features

The rotund sushi chef plays at Wasabi-San’s wild symbol and can substitute for every other icon apart from the pufferfish scatter and wasabi bonus logo.

The Wasabi logo will award ten free spins when three to five scatters appear on the reels. Every one of these free spins can benefit from triple multipliers if a win is paid and the free spins can be retriggered. If retriggered more free spins will run concurrently and will also include triple multipliers.

Three or more yellow puffer fish icons will cause the fish to blow up before presenting a fish market scene. The graphics and sound effects during this game are brilliant as you hear traffic, hustle and bustle and can watch the stall keeper puff away on his pipe. You are asked to choose three fish which will each award a bonus win. This bonus win is added to your overall balance and you are returned to the main game.

Our Take on Wasabi-San

Wasabi-San is totally unique in its theme, features and overall finish. It really is a cut above the rest as it can make you laugh, keeps you guessing and actually requires user input during the bonus games. It also gives you a taste of sushi without running the risk of food poisoning, which can only be judged as a bonus by us ;-).
