Pick Yokai if you like Japanese folklore with ghosts, samurai and demons. It is a video slot with a fixed 5x3 grid and 20 fixed paylines. Its symbols include a torii gate Scatter, a Daruma doll, a red oni demon and the letters A, K and Q. A win pays when at least 3 matching symbols land on one of those paylines.
Choose Yokai if you care most about the Free Spins round. Three or more Scatters anywhere on the grid start them. The samurai then cuts open 9 moons, and their numbers add up to the award. Wilds stick for the whole round, and the Moon Multiplier builds rather than resetting. During the round, two Scatters on reels 1 and 5 award 6 moons for extra spins.
Grab extra spins
Once you finish this section, you know how each mode starts and what you get from it.
Three or more Scatters anywhere on the grid trigger Free Spins. The award is the sum of the numbers (1, 2 or 3) revealed on 9 moons the samurai cuts open. Wilds stay sticky for the whole round, and the Moon Multiplier accumulates instead of resetting.
Base game spinsFree spins
The buy purchases the Free Spins feature directly for 100x the total bet, which is A$200 at an A$2 bet. Only one bonus, Buy Free Spins or Chance x2, can be active at a time.
Waiting for a triggerFree Spins now
Chance x2 is a base game toggle that increases the probability of a natural Free Spins trigger on subsequent spins. It adds 50% to the total bet and cannot run with Buy Bonus at the same time.
Before a base spinHigher trigger chance
Base game is where play starts, on a fixed 5 reels x 3 rows grid with 20 fixed paylines. The Moon Multiplier resets to x1 every spin, and Wilds are not sticky.

Know what you see
After this page you will have seen the main screens before your first spin.
Right before spin one
The usual worry is losing track of the bet, so each step below shows it.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$32 before the first spin. The total bet is what each spin costs on the 5 by 3 grid with 20 fixed paylines.
Press spin and watch the 5 by 3 grid. A line pays when at least 3 matching symbols land on one of the 20 fixed paylines.
Keep spinning in the base game and the Moon Multiplier starts at x1 each time. Wilds do not stick, so each one only replaces symbols on the spin it lands.
Land three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid to start Free Spins. The samurai then cuts open 9 moons, and the numbers revealed add up to your award.
Set your limit before the first spin, because Yokai has medium-high volatility and results swing widely. Nobody can tell in advance how many spins a session will last.
Deciding to buy Free Spins costs 100 times your total bet, which is A$200 at a A$2 bet.
| Paid extra | Price tag | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Bonus (Free Spins) | x100 · A$200 | – |
Before you set a bet, check the RTP: 97.00 for every A$100 staked over time. A single session can land above or below that. The version this casino runs is listed in the game rules.
| RTP version | RTP | Yes or no |

| Variant 1 | 97.00% | Yes |
You pick the bet and the number of spins, but you cannot pick when the Free Spins arrive. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. Two players with the same bet can end a session far apart. The RTP describes a long-run average over many rounds, not a promise for your next session.
You decide how much to stake, so check first which RTP version we run on Yokai. Only the game rules show that version, not the game thumbnail or the bet screen. Read the RTP line in the rules before your first spin.
You can plan your session around the bet, but not around the top prize. The maximum win of Yokai is a ceiling that very few rounds reach, and nobody can schedule the round that gets there.
Practise at no cost
Read this before your first spin, or when you want to see how a round runs.
Try Yokai in demo mode first. The demo needs no money and pays nothing, while the real game needs an account at Highroller Casino and the legal age, 18+.
Play nowYokai is for players 18+. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop.
Set a budget in money before you play, and treat it as the most you will spend on Yokai.
Decide your stopping point before the first spin, and keep to it after a win as well as after a loss.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account, so the session ends before your budget does.
If Yokai stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, and do not return to it to recover losses.
Know what you stake
A common worry is bet size, so the bet range and the bonus cost come first here.
Decide whether medium-high volatility suits you before the first spin. Yokai wins come less often than on low-volatility slots, but single wins can be large when they land. The largest possible win is a multiple of your bet, so the payout grows with the stake.
Read the rules on this page before you stake any money. The modes, the paytable and the costs explain how Yokai pays, so you know what each spin can do. Start with a small bet while you learn the feature rules.
Land three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid, and the Free Spins start. The samurai then cuts open nine moons, and the award is the sum of their numbers. During the round, two Scatters on reels 1 and 5 add six moons for extra spins.
Decide whether the price suits you before you buy. The Buy Bonus costs 100 times the total bet and starts the Free Spins directly. Chance x2 adds 50% to the total bet, and only one of the two can be active at a time.
Treat the RTP as a long-run average, not a promise for one session. Yokai has one RTP version, and the return is stated per A$100 staked. Over a very large number of spins, results move toward that figure, while a single session can end far above or below it.
Pick any bet from A$0.20 to A$32. The top bet here is the lower of the game limit and the market limit. The bets used as examples on this page are illustrations only.
