What RTP actually means here

Sakura Fortune 2 is available in three RTP tiers: 96.03%, 94% and 90%, depending on which version the casino has chosen to run. The gap looks small on paper, but across thousands of spins it turns into real money, either in your pocket or the casino's.

How many spins do you get

Curious about how far your budget actually stretches depending on which RTP level you land on? We've put together a quick example below so you don't have to guess.

If you start playing with $200 and bet $1 per spin, we can compare how many spins you get depending on the payout level.

At the highest level of 96%, you theoretically lose 4.0% of your bet per spin, which equals $0.04 per spin. That gives you approximately 5 000 spins before your budget runs out.

At a lower payout level of 94.1%, the theoretical loss is 5.9%, which is $0.06 per spin. That means you can spin approximately 3 390 times before the money runs out.

The difference is 1 610 spins between these levels – quite a significant difference when you think about it!

Bonus rounds and features

The heart of Sakura Fortune 2 is the nudging Sakura Wilds that appear on the three middle reels. When a wild covers an entire reel it locks in place and awards a respin, which can chain into several more if luck is on your side.

Land three or more sword scatters and Fortune Free Spins kicks in. Three scatters award 9 free spins, four give 10 spins plus a locked wild thrown in, and five scatters hand you 11 spins with two locked wilds right from the start. Manage to lock three Sakura Wilds during the bonus and every win gets multiplied by 3x, which is exactly where the bigger cash can show up.

Symbols in Sakura Fortune 2

The lowest-paying symbols are four classic coin symbols with cut-out squares, while the mid-tier symbols are Koi and Jizo statues. The top symbols, Yoshida, Tomoe and Sensei, are the ones that really grow your wallet, paying up to 6x your stake for five in a row. The wild, Sakura herself, substitutes for everything except the scatter sword.

Paylines and betting levels

Sakura Fortune 2 is played on a 3-4-4-4-3 grid with a massive 576 ways to win, a serious upgrade from the original's 40 fixed lines. Bets range from around CA$0.20 up to CA$100 per spin, so there's room for both cautious players and much more daring ones.

The max win sits at 19,664 times your stake, a proper leap from the first game's fairly modest 1,000x. Volatility is high, so brace yourself through the quieter spins, because it's the bonus round where the money can really start rolling in.

Game developer

Quickspin is behind Sakura Fortune 2, a studio known for slick graphics and creative features in titles like Big Bad Wolf and Gigantoonz. Sakura Fortune 2 launched in 2022 and makes it clear the studio isn't afraid to crank up the volatility in its sequels.

Our verdict on Sakura Fortune 2

We really like how the Sakura Wilds grow and lock into place, it adds a bit of extra tension to every spin even outside the bonus. The high volatility can feel tough at times, but when that 3x multiplier clicks in during free spins, it's worth the wait. Visually it's a slick upgrade too, with prettier animations and more detailed statues than the first game.
