Book of Sakura: Draw Your Katana and Slice Sakura Pages For Free Spins

Quickspin invites us into the mythical realm of Book of Sakura to meet the eastern emblem of blossoming trees and femininity. Standing in a pink-petalled grove with a waterfall behind her, she holds her katana with quiet confidence and tempts us onto the five-by-three grid she guards across 10 paylines.

Besides the blade, the setup carries Sakura Spins through the base game, free spins, and golden free spins. So let's see how my adventure unfolded.

In the base game, wins came thick and fast. Every two to five spins, a row of koi or sakura fans would connect, paying between 0.7x and 5x my bet, enough to keep my balance climbing while I waited for more.

Sakura Spin is a feature I'd expect before or during the bonus, but Quickspin had another idea. It can hit on any base-game spin, where the book picks one random symbol and gives you a single spin to grab as much of it as you can, stretching that symbol tall across the reels. The whole thing looks gorgeous, and one of them pushed my win up to 20x my bet.

Next on my checklist was the free games, which I triggered around my seventieth spin off three scatters. The more scatters you land, the better. Three for seven spins, four for 10, five for 15. I scraped in with three, so seven it was.

The game picks a symbol to expand for the round, more books drop in to keep it going, and that round handed me a decent 57x win. You can also buy the bonus for 75x your bet, and you're straight in with at least three books. I missed the Golden Free Games, which strip all the low symbols out of the book first, so the symbol you end up expanding is always one of the better ones. 

Overall, I liked how the mechanics carry the theme. The books flip through their pages, Sakura looks ready for action, and my session paid well throughout, the base game especially. That alone earns it a spot in my rotation, and there's plenty here I still haven't seen.
