Paylines
25 fixed paylines
Cherry petals drift past a pagoda roof while paper fans, geisha sandals, and lacquered tea sets line the reels. Blossom & Blade is Genii's take on the samurai aesthetic, and it leans soft. The palette skews pink, the ink-wash garden behind the frame feels almost meditative, and the soundtrack stays restrained. Don't expect roaring drums or katana clashes. It's quieter than the title suggests.
The grid runs 5×3 with 25 fixed paylines, which puts it firmly in classic Genii territory. What sets the math apart is the triple-high stacked premium. The top-paying symbol arrives as a full three-row stack on each reel, which means it can land flush and pay starting from just two of a kind. Two pays 5 coins. Five across pays 2,000. That's a heavy top symbol for a Genii title, and it's the reason maximum potential sits at 26,400 coins.
Base spins also carry a Random Wild. Any regular symbol can flip wild for a single spin, and that little nudge bridges the long stretches between premium hits. The nine-symbol paytable below the top icon scales down nicely. Premiums of 700, 450, 250 coins for five-of-a-kind, then card royals filling the floor.
Free Spins trigger from two scatter symbols, and here's where things get specific. Scatters only land on reels 2 and 4, and the whole triple-high scatter must be visible to count. Hit both, you get 10 free spins. The Random Wild disappears during the bonus. In its place, a separate scatter offers extra spins – each one visible on reels 2 or 4 adds 5 more spins. So a clean retrigger run can stretch the round well past the initial allotment.
Genii doesn't publish RTP or volatility figures publicly for this one, which is a small frustration. The math feel suggests medium variance, and the scatter geometry (reels 2 and 4 only) makes the bonus harder to hit than a standard “any three” trigger. Worth knowing before you set autoplay.
It's a pretty slot. Slightly underbuilt on features compared to bigger studios, sure, but the triple-high stack gives it a hook, and the visuals do the work. Quiet, deliberate, and occasionally generous when those premium stacks line up.
