Tale of Kyubiko Review
It's not very often that you get modern 3-reel slots - especially ones mixed with a beautiful oriental slot. Play'n GO decided to release a slot all about Inari spirits and showcase the wonder of this folk tale.
Tale of Kyubiko plays on 3-reels with only 5-paylines and uses medium volatility gameplay. In this slot, you'll find respins, multipliers and stacked wilds leading to impressive wins.
Design
When the slot opens, you are taken to a title screen that shows a stunning image of cherry blossoms mixed with oriental style houses and a fox. This closes and you are taken to the game screen where you'll see a screen behind the reels showcasing a beautiful painting depicting the spirit Inari.
On the reels, you'll find different lanterns symbols representing the lower paying symbols and a variety of animals representing the higher paying ones. You'll find a monkey, fox and a bird along with Inari as the stacked wild and a mask.
The music is strangely uplifting and whimsical at times with the traditional oriental noises such as bells and chimes on the reels. When you land special symbols, you'll hear a gong noise or dialogue and noises from Inari which adds just that extra level of detail.
Gameplay
With 3-reel slots, you can expect straightforward gameplay that is easy to follow. You'll be able to fully understand the paylines and how you deliver wins.
In true Play'n GO style, all the menus are at the bottom of the screen with the spin button and bet level to the bottom right.
Win Potential
Play'n GO always deliver respectable RTP and they've done the same with Tale of Kyubiko as it's at 96.29%. As for volatility, this slot has a medium volatility level leading to a mix of high volatility wins and low volatility wins.
The maximum win is at a mediocre 2,250x your stake which is low for an online slot but you can still expect solid wins that'll make you happy. The biggest wins will come from the respin feature with the multipliers but you can gain decent ones through normal wins.
Our Verdict
It's not very often that you see a 3-reel slot paired with stunning graphics that deliver a solid narrative. Tale of Kyubiko is like a rare diamond that you never expected to see that gives you amazing gameplay mixed with some solid wins.
However, the only real criticism that we have for this slot is that the features feel lacking and we wished that there was something more. Despite this, the features here are valuable and will give you a great time. Be sure to check out the majestic Tale of Kyubiko.
