Ronin Stackways Base Game and Features

The minimum bet available here is £.€0.10 per spin and the maximum bet available is £.€100 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. This game has a theoretical RTP of 96.35% and a max win cap of 10,000x.

In terms of symbols, the highest-paying regular symbol here is the Monkey, followed by the Tiger, Fox, Bear, and Panda. Low-paying symbols are standard Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten.

Stackways

Landing a Stackways symbol across any of the 5 reels will activate the Stackways mechanic. When a Stackways symbol lands, it will fill its entire reel with a stacked amount of a High or Low-paying symbols equal to the number displayed, between 2 and 10.

In Ronin Stackways, there are two types of Stackways symbols available.

• Normal Stackways – Reveals 2, 3, or 4 Stackways.
• Revealing Stackways – Reveals 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 Stackways.

The stacked symbol that is chosen is determined by which sequence of symbols grants the longest winning combination based on the symbols present on the reels when the Stackways symbol activates.

If more than one winning combination is of equal length, the stacked symbol will be chosen at random. The stackways symbol only activates when a winning combination would be created.

Ronin Stackways Free Spins

Ronin Stackways gives players the chance to try out not one but two unique Free Spins rounds. More on these below.
