Running Sushi

Pragmatic Play frames Running Sushi around an upscale sushi counter rather than the dragon-and-koi imagery that usually fills Asian-themed slots, pairing warm wooden interiors in the base game with a livelier, karaoke-lit look once free spins begin. The reels run 5x4 with 1,024 ways to win, and matching symbols need to land on adjacent reels moving left to right to complete a combination. Card suits, diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades, rank as the lower-paying symbols, worth between 0.75x and 1.5x the stake for five of a kind, while food-themed icons such as avocado, rice, meat, shrimp and soy sauce pay between 1.75x and 7.5x for five in a row. A wild coin symbol shows up only during free spins, restricted to the middle three reels, and substitutes for everything besides the scatter, Take Sushi and Take All symbols.

Every spin, between one and ten Money symbols cycle along a strip beneath the reels, each carrying a value from 1x up to 1,000x the bet, rising to 2,500x once free spins are underway, Running Sushi's biggest single conveyor-belt value. Landing the Take Sushi symbol on the leftmost, middle and rightmost reels in the same spin banks every visible Money symbol's value in one collection. Three scatters on the middle reels open the free spins round for 10 spins, and during it, Money symbol values build up in a running meter instead of being collected immediately. A separate Take All symbol appears on those same middle reels during the bonus; landing three of them cashes in the whole meter, plus whatever Money values fell on that spin, before it resets to zero. An ante bet can also be switched on, raising the total wager by 25% for close to double the chance of triggering the round, or the free spins can be bought outright for 85x the stake without changing the underlying RTP.

Running Sushi returns 96% RTP with medium volatility, a maximum win of 3,000x the stake, and a hit frequency of roughly one winning spin in every 7.4, with bets running from 0.20 up to 240 per spin. That combination points to a game built around small, frequent conveyor-belt collections punctuated by occasional bigger banks through the Take Sushi and Take All symbols, rather than one single outsized spin.
