Ninja-themed Slot Unleashes $209K Shadow Strike Win

Every week, on the HugeStakes Stake promo code page, we reveal the latest game releases available at this casino. As many of them are given a little push through Stake’s plethora of promotions, our team keeps an eye open for the first big wins.

Having only just hit the casino lobby, it didn’t take long for Backseat Gaming’s Shadow Strike to make the news. A high-roller, who was betting $92.00 a spin, caught a delightful 2,261x multiplier. The payout was over two hundred thousand dollars - $209,466.26, to be precise.

Since entering into a partnership with Hacksaw Gaming, Backseat Gaming has produced some highly enjoyable video slots. 

I recently covered ClassyBeef’s $1.5M win on Fireborn. This is a Backseat Gaming slot, and Shadow Strike is cut from the same cloth. 

The oriental ninja theme gives off Mortal Kombat vibes. It has an RTP of 96.36%, a max win limit of 15,000 times your bet, and several exciting features that captivate players in the action.

Above and below the main 5 by 4 reel set are two Ninja Reels. At the start of a base game spin these are locked. However, when activated, they can add random special symbols to the game, such as Wilds, MultiSplits, and +FS symbols.

Wild and Wild Multiplier symbols can land on the main reel set or on the top Ninja Reel. When wilds land on the Ninja Reel, it adds a Wild or Wild Multiplier to the main reel set on the corresponding reel but in a random position. As usual, these symbols substitute paying symbols to produce win lines.

Wild Multipliers have the following possible values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, and 50x

MultiSplit symbols can only appear in the bottom Ninja Reel. Their purpose is to multiply Wilds and Wild Multipliers. The MultiSplit multiplier values are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, and 50x

This is the first of three free spins bonus rounds. The Mysteries of the Dojo feature is activated when 3, 4, or 5 Dojo scatters land on the reels. You’ll receive 10, 12, or 14 free spins (the number depends on how many there were).

During this feature, the Ninja Reels are unlocked and all Wilds and Wild Multipliers are sticky.

As with the free spins feature above, players receive 10, 12, or 14 free games based on the number of Secret Scroll scatters that appeared. 

Once again, the Ninja Reels are unlocked. However, during this bonus feature, when a wild lands on the main reel set, it expands to become a full-reel wild. MultiSplit symbols can enhance the value of the full-reel wild, but these are not sticky.

If you’re familiar with Wanted Dead or a Wild, this final bonus feature will seem very familiar. It has two phases. The first is the collection phase, where players collect Wilds and Multipliers. The collection phase continues until there are three consecutive non-winning spins.

After that, you move to the Showdown phase. Here, you get three free spins with all the wilds you collected added to the reels, and win lines are multiplied by the multipliers where applicable.
