How to play Samurai 888 Katsumi (members only)
Wins are paid when matching symbols land on an active payline, usually left to right starting from the leftmost reel. Your total stake is spread across the lines, and each line win is the line bet multiplied by the symbol's paytable value.
Samurai 888 Katsumi is played on a 5×3 grid with 50 paylines.
- Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.44 and $44. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
- Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.
- Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.
- Trigger the bonus. Land the required scatter symbols to start the free spins feature.
- Optional bonus buy. Where permitted, pay a fixed price to start the bonus directly.

How winnings work (members only)
What 94.29% RTP costs per $100 wagered
What 94.29% RTP means
Expected return = stake × 94.29%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $5.71
RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a volatile game.
Features explained (members only)
3 features explained: free spins, bonus buy, wild symbols
Free spins
A bonus round of spins played at no cost to your balance, usually triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. Wins during the round are added to your balance, and many games let you retrigger extra spins.
Bonus buy
Lets you pay a fixed multiple of your stake to enter the bonus feature straight away instead of waiting for it to trigger. It raises variance considerably and is not available in every country (it is banned in the UK).
Wild symbols
Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.
Strategy tips (members only)
- Treat bonus buys as high-risk. Buying the feature concentrates your budget into a few large-variance rounds. Many results return less than the price paid. Read our bonus buy guide first.
2 more tips
- Bonus wagering: at 94.29% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $57.10 on average. Check the bonus terms, as some casinos exclude specific games. Run your numbers in the wagering calculator.
- Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.
