✅ Hanzo’s Dojo Demo & Casinos
Hanzo's Dojo Introduction
Yggdrasil Gaming has been aiming to release new slots at a rate of one per month, and so far they're sticking to the timetable. The games do look better than ever and the company is undeniably at the helm of innovation as far as entertainment is concerned. But there's one very important aspect that doesn't seem to keep up with the rest of the progress, and that is the payouts.
Massive Yggdrasil big win screenshots and videos appear to be rarer than they should be, and the RTP recorded by our slot tracking tools speak volumes, positioning Yggdrasil as one of the worst performing game developers in the industry.
Set amongst grasslands, majestic mountains and cherry blossoms blowing gently in the breeze, the slot centers around Hanzo and his Dojo where he trains warriors in the field of martial arts.
Hanzo's Dojo is a 5x3 video slot with 25 paylines and an additional 3x1 Rooftop Slot. It's playable on all devices from €0.10 - €125 and comes with a 96.1% RTP. The game features an additional Rooftop Slot, 2 Free Spin modes, and 5 Free Spin boosters.
Hanzo's Dojo Symbols
The game includes 8 regular symbols (4 low paying and 4 premiums) and a wild that win if three or more are lined up in sequence on a payline, beginning from the leftmost position. The most valuable - the Hanzo symbol - is worth 9,4x for 5 on a payline.
On top of the reel set is another, smaller, 3x1 reel set - the Rooftop Slot. Players can trigger additional Free Spin Boosters and modes in the Rooftop Slot. There are 4 different symbols that players can land:
- The Hanzo Symbol
- The Expanding Wild
- Free Spin Symbol
Hanzo's Dojo Rooftop Slot Features

The Expanding Wild
- Landing 3 Expanding Wilds awards 3 Hanzo Spins with a 3x3 wild symbol locked in the center reels

Free Spins
- Landing any combination of 3+ Free Spin symbols awards a Free Spin mode; Rooftop Slot Free Spin symbols award 4 Free Spins and 1 feature each; 5x3 reel Free Spin symbols award 3 Free Spins each.

- x2 multiplier - regardless of when landed, is applied to the entire Free Spin round (can only be activated once each Free Spin round)
- Wild 5th Reel - all positions on the 5th reel become wild (can only be activated once each Free Spin session but lasts for the Free Spin session)
- Win both ways - lines pay from the far left and far right (can only be activated once each Free Spin session but lasts for the remaining rounds once activated)
- 3x3 symbol nudge - the center 3x3 symbol can be moved by up to 3 reel positions to give the best outcome (can only be activated once each Free Spin session but lasts for the remaining rounds once activated. Only available in regular Free Spins)
Conclusion
This slot was a bit of a mess trying to summarise in a review having so many separate features but is actually much easier to understand once you get to try it yourself. What you want is to trigger the Hanzo spins or the free spins and then land a scatter symbol on the 3x1 reel set (Rooftop) to add some nice boosters to your feature, preferably the x2 multiplier in combination with other boosters.
This is an entertaining and action-packed slot for sure. The boosters allow for unique setups in individual bonuses which definitely adds value to the game. The best way we can describe this slot in terms of gameplay and functionality is like a mix of two other Yggdrasil productions - Nirvana and Lucha Maniacs. Don't expect any super massive wins however as it is a medium volatile slot with a relatively low 3000x max win. Fun as it is, being Yggdrasil it remains to see if it actually pays.
Hanzo's Dojo is available across all Yggdrasil Gaming casinos.
