Blood Moonby Ganapati

Screenshots

Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world. Densely populated and extremely advanced, the city has long stood as the very symbol of urban life.

There’s a long tradition of using it as a backdrop for various stories. From science fiction to drifting fast cars, it’s a striking locale.

Developer Ganapati, boasting “immersive Japanese gaming” as their motto, has now created a video slot tribute the city itself.

Blood Moon features tall cyberpunk skyscrapers cutting through the night sky. And there’s also Mt Fuji in the distance, one of the icons of Japan.

Theme

Since this is an offering in the style of cyberpunk – expect a lot of neon and a lot of purple. All the buildings have purple and blue light-streak accents making them loot a little bit like circuit boards.

Everything is glowing with an unhealthy cyber-glow, as is the custom for the genre.

The reels are similarly styled with a look recalling computer interfaces one might see in science fiction movies.

Symbols provide a classic counterpoint to the heavily high-tech theme. They are card suites rendered as neon signs on the low end, and precious stone as the high-paying items.

It all combines to create a very interesting atmosphere of flying high above the Tokyo skyline. Enjoying the moonlight and view while hoping for some big wins.

Betting Options and Functions

While you’re cruising the Tokyo skies…

…you will spin the reels of a 5x4 grid with 40 fixed paylines. Punters can choose to use autoplay if they just want to enjoy the graphics and let the game play itself. Advanced options are available to let you set win and loss limits.

In the options, it is also possible to toggle the game speed.

To get a spin you will need to stake a minimum of 40 cents while the maximum bet is a cool 20 euros.

Special Features

The main feature on offer here is the extra spins mode. And that’s great, since extra spins are great.

Get three bonus symbols to appear on the reels and the mode starts. There’s a little twist in the mode represented in the fact the wild symbols now get multipliers.

Multipliers of x2, x3, and x5 will appear on every wild symbol while the reels spin.

There are multipliers in the base game too, but they appear only occasionally.

A good thing is…

…the mode can be retriggered. Two symbols will give you two additional spins while a full three will trigger an additional 15.

Our Take

Tokyo isn’t exactly unexplored territory for slot developers, as Tokyo Nights prove.

Blood Moon is another offering featuring Tokyo at night, but Ganapati has done a lot to stand out.

It’s a very enjoyable experience with cool graphics and simple but enjoyable features.

If you’re a fan of cyberpunk you will definitely enjoy this offering. As for everyone else, it’s still a solidly-built experience that will keep you entertained.
