Running Sushi Slot Review
If anybody is interested in theme, it starts with Suits for lower pay symbols, follows by Rice, Avocado, Shrimp, Fish (Salmon?), Soy Sauce, and Tabasco? The theme looks pretty much cool for 2024, classics, sushi never gets old. Everybody loves sushi, right? For backend, 6 reels, 4 rows, slot is much faster than the older ones, it is not the first time when slots released in 2024 are performing much better in performance. Playing with lower bets is gonna be much more comfortable, it rolls way faster than I expected. As a decent user of Turbo mode, I like the speed increase.
Max Win
Maximum win is limited to 3000x bet, which is much lower that Dog House game series, for example, even it is built by the same software provider. Most probably it is limited because the slot is a little less volatile and pays more often, that’s why they limit winnings of going sky high. Also the stacking feature goes wild, it goes over 600x on every Bonus round, so hitting 3000x won’t be a problem after a thousand spins or so. It is surprising that max bet for Canada in Running Sushi is as high as 300 CAD. When in older creations Pragmatic limits to 100 CAD, then there are newer at 240 CAD, now they are at 300 CAD per spin, that is impressive bet.
Free Spins
To get into free spins you have to hit 3 scatters, or, easy peasy, just buy it. I don’t feel like Free Spins is the only way to hit the money here, as the Take Sushi feature (Read below) works even on the regular spins. Free Spins are granted by 10 per time, and can’t be retriggered. Goal is either to hit Take Sushi, or Take all feature.
Bonus Buy Feature
Surprisingly, Bonus Buy feature in Running Sushi is 15% cheaper than in many other Pragmatic slots. As their newer creation, maybe they decided that players don’t use the feature that often? Anyway, it is an opportunity to try, lower price must come with better return. Notice that if the game is played with 25x bet multiplier – Buy Free Spins option won’t be available.

Scatters
Scatters are represented by Sushi chef, and it only appears at reels 2, 3 and 4. We’ve seen the same mechanic in multiple Pragmatic games, Dog House is the most popular example. Hitting 3 Scatters in one spin starts Bonus Round with 10 Free Spins. During Bonus rounds scatters don’t appear and are kinda replaced with Take all Symbols on the same reels.
Take Sushi Feature
The unique mechanic in this slot is in the sushi rolls that appear under the reels. During regular spins they have no use, to take multipliers mentioned on them player has to hit 3 Take Sushi purple symbols. After that all sushi’s under the board will be summarised and multiplied by current bet. Possible values of Sushi’s are from 1x up to 1000x in regular play, and up to 2500x during free spins. After the first look I can say that this feature pays the most in this slot, it is like a cash cow to stay alive waiting for proper scatters to play.
During Free spins, no matter if Take Sushi hits or not, Sushi values are collected at the meter at the left side from the reels. That multiplier easily goes up to 500-700x during 10 Free spins. To collect is user has to hit 3 Take All symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 that are replacing scatters during bonus rounds.
Running Sushi Alternatives
I can’t say that they are really alternatives, as playing Running Sushi nowadays is about trying something new, and it is the most recent creation from Pragmatic Play, so let’s wait for some time for statistics and players feedback. After first view I would say that slot is very promising. You can compare it to any Pragmatic slots with 5-6 reels, like Wolf Gold for example. Anyway, it is better to play newer ones, as for Pragmatic there are Community Jackpots played among players, and new slots are always included in those kind of promotions. Let’s see casino promotions in the following month, pretty sure we will see something unique and generous.
- Discounted 85x bet Bonus buy feature
- Money "sushi" symbols under the reels
- Two type of scatters
- Max Bet as high as 300 CAD
- Max win limited to 3000x
