Nine Tails wraps a 259-connected-ways 5×5 grid in Japanese kitsune folklore. The free games collect fox tails toward a 46,865x ceiling, and a four-tier RTP selector spans nearly six points.
The character on the right of the cabinet sets the tone before a single reel turns. She's a young kitsune in a yellow kimono with a fox mask tilted up on her hood, sitting calmly on a stone path while flame-licked bell symbols drift past her. Behind her sits a torii gate in cinnabar lacquer, a silver moon over bamboo silhouettes, and pink hydrangeas at the foot of the grid. It's one of the prettier Japanese-folklore cabinets in the Habanero catalog.
The board is a square 5×5, which is an unusual shape for the studio, and the math runs on 259 connected ways rather than fixed lines. Wins read on adjacent matches across the grid, which means stacks land more often than they pay out big. The signature feature is the 9-Tail Collection on the free games round. Scatters award 7, 27, or 57 spins in stepped tiers, and every winning spin during the round adds either 7 or 77 cash onto the fox's tail counter. Each tail collected upgrades her color tier from gold through green to red, and reaching all nine pushes the prize multiplier to the top of the ladder, which is the path to the 46,865x ceiling.
The wild and the scatter both come in three tiers each, which sounds intricate on paper and works out to occasional dead triggers on bottom-tier scatters that don't quite combine. The round can re-trigger if more scatters land while it's already running. Above the reels sit two random progressive jackpots, a Grand and a Minor, both of which can fire on any paid spin with no symbol requirement. The Grand was sitting near 9,200 EUR in the demo build.
One quirk worth flagging: Nine Tails ships with a four-tier RTP selector that the operator picks on the back end. The published spread runs from 92.26 to 97.92, which is almost six points of variance between the worst and best version a casino can serve. The baseline default is 96.75. Worth a peek at the info screen before settling in, because you can't tell from the lobby which tier you're loading.
