Yokai review overview

20 paylines on a 5×3 grid

Regular wins pay left to right on consecutive reels across 20 paylines. Wilds substitute for regular symbols but not Scatter, and they appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4. Red Wilds carry +2, +3, +5 or +10 values that feed the Moon Multiplier for that spin’s total win.

Scatters and Moon Multiplier

Three Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 pay anywhere and open Free Spins. In the main game the Moon Multiplier resets each spin; during Free Spins it keeps growing while all Wilds stay sticky until the feature ends.

Who Yokai suits

Yokai suits readers who want fixed paylines with a Free Spins round that accumulates sticky Wilds and a stored multiplier. It is less suited to anyone seeking low volatility or a fixed spin count every bonus.

Best for

  • Players comparing sticky Wilds with a persistent Moon Multiplier
  • Readers checking Chance ×2 and Buy Free Spins preview prices before confirming
  • Anyone verifying the studio-listed 97.00% RTP and 8,000× maximum

Not ideal for

  • Players who want low volatility or frequent small line hits
  • Anyone treating Buy Bonus as an ordinary spin cost
  • Readers reading 8,000× as a frequent session outcome

How Yokai rules and features work

Free Spins

The studio feature card says three Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 open Free Spins. Before the round starts, nine moons each reveal 1, 2 or 3, so the starting award spans 9–27 spins. During Free Spins, Scatters appear on reels 1 and 5 only; landing both opens six moons for 6–18 extra spins, limited only by the maximum-win value.

Sticky Wilds, Moon Multiplier and Buy Bonus

In Free Spins every Wild stays locked until the feature ends, and the Moon Multiplier keeps summing Red Wild values across the round instead of resetting. Chance ×2 and Buy Bonus are available where the market allows; attached frames at a 2.00 FUN total bet show Chance ×2 at +1.00 FUN and Buy Free Spins at 200.00 FUN as stake-linked preview figures.

How to play Yokai responsibly

Chance ×2 and Buy Bonus spend a budget faster than ordinary spins. Set money and time limits before opening those controls, convert the pictured prices into cash at your stake, and stop when either limit is reached.

  1. Read Buy Bonus as a cost

    At a 2.00 FUN demo bet the attached Buy overlay shows +1.00 FUN for Chance ×2 and 200.00 FUN for Buy Free Spins. Convert those preview figures into cash before confirming.

  2. Separate Chance ×2 from bankroll hope

    Chance ×2 raises the active bet for a higher Free Spins chance. It does not make the next bonus due after a quiet stretch.

  3. Treat 8,000× as a ceiling

    BGaming advertises up to 8,000× the stake as the maximum multiplier, not as a typical bonus result.

Symbols and Paytable

Blue and Red Wilds sit on reels 2–4; Red Wilds feed the Moon Multiplier. Torii Scatters open Free Spins. Premium masks, Daruma/spirit icons and A–10 ranks fill the 20-line pay set. This card stores no symbol art.

Blue and Red Wilds

Appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. Substitute for any symbol except Scatter. Red Wilds carry +2, +3, +5 or +10 for the Moon Multiplier. During Free Spins all Wilds are sticky.

Torii Scatter

In the main game appears on reels 1, 3 and 5 only. Three Scatters pay anywhere and trigger Free Spins. During Free Spins Scatters appear on reels 1 and 5 only; a pair retriggers extra moons.

Premium mask characters

Helmeted and kimono high symbols on the 20 left-to-right lines. Attached paytable FUN cells at the stake shown are stake-linked preview figures.

Daruma and spirit lows

Mid and low folklore icons sit above the A–10 card ranks on the fixed 20-line sheet. Screenshot FUN amounts at the loaded stake are preview figures.

Card ranks A–10

Lower set: A, K, Q, J and 10 in the blocky orange lettering shown on the demo frames. FUN cells at the stake shown are preview figures.

Yokai RTP, volatility and maximum win

BGaming’s Yokai page prints a theoretical RTP of 97.00% and medium-high volatility. This card stores 97.00% as the listed figure, the minimum and the maximum of the published range. The same studio page lists an 8,000× maximum multiplier and a €256,000 maximum cash win. Attached demo frames add Chance ×2 and Buy Free Spins preview figures at the bet shown. RTP is a long-run configuration value, not a short-session return, and 8,000× is a ceiling rather than a likely result.

How to interpret the numbers

Key point 1

Waiting for three positional Scatters is part of medium-high volatility. A quiet stretch of base spins does not make the next bonus due.

Key point 2

Ordinary stake, Chance ×2 and Buy Free Spins are different prices. Confirm the pictured purchase cost before spinning.

Key point 3

The studio page prints 97.00%. Confirm the active build on the operator information panel if a lobby loads another configuration.

Yokai compared with other games

Other BGaming ART Collab and folklore cards may share Japanese-inspired art, but Yokai keeps sticky Wilds and a Moon Multiplier that only persists in Free Spins. Compare the listed RTP, the 8,000× ceiling and how Free Spins are counted before treating another title as interchangeable.

Yokai compared with other games
Game Return / max win Volatility Bonus fit Watch out for
Yokai 97.00% / 8,000× Medium to High Three Scatters on reels 1-3-5 open Free Spins; nine moons set a 9–27 start, and sticky Wilds plus a growing Moon Multiplier define the round. Shared BGaming branding does not make another title’s Wild values, moon counts or RTP figure match this card.
ZEUS’ SANCTUARY 97.00% / 2,750× Medium Natural entry needs 3–5 Scatters for 15 Free Spins; Buy Bonus opens the same feature at the price on the button. A familiar BGaming Buy Bonus button does not make another title’s Wild multipliers or Free Spins count apply here.
Fire Lightning 93.75% / 1,706× Medium to High Ten Free Spins lock every landed Wild until the feature ends; qualifying Scatters can extend the same sticky board. Regular awards use bet per line, while Scatter awards use total bet. The two units must not be combined without conversion.

Treat the automatic BGaming carousel as a shortlist, not as proof. Newer cards can share folklore art while Wild rules, Buy Bonus and RTP figures differ. Open each live panel before treating another game as interchangeable.
