Kobushi
Kobushi Pokie Machine
We are not fond of food and from time to time we have a desire for raw fish. Sushi! In the “Kobushi” pokie machine from isoftbet, everything revolves around perhaps the most Japanese dish there is. Kobushi takes the player to a small, cozy restaurant with tables full of sushi. Here you can feel like a ninja, or at least like a real samurai, while small, colorful fish turn into tasty morsels. We’ll see what profits are waiting for the leisure samurai, and whether it’s worth eating a little sushi – or if you get stomach trouble. Let’s put isoftbet to the test.
Back in the 70s
The older students may remember “Shogun”, the American-Japanese serial from the 70s, in which Richard Chamberlain fights his way through Renaissance Japan. You can feel a little bit like this when you open the pokie machine from isoftbet. But somehow just a little bit.
Graphically Five Stars
You’re greeted by Asian-Japanese music playing in the background, underlining the setting of the pokie machine. Kobushi has five reels and 30 paylines. Graphically, the pokie machine deserves five stars, it is really well done and reminds very much of video games with similar themes. Isoftbet focuses on good looks and we love it. The 3D sushi characters practically come to life before your very eyes. Or at least it looks that way. The symbols on the reels are divided into fish or sushi: a squid, a white-red dotted fish, a red samurai fish, sashimi, yellow sashimi, a plate with three maki (with red caviar, mhhh) and a yellow fish. Okay, now we are definitely hungry.
The Symbols
In addition, there is the Hobushi bonus symbol and the game symbol, which is represented by a green-orange ninja fish. The rest of the game’s layout is of course very Japanese, in the background we see the interior of a typical sushi restaurant, with wooden panelling and cherry blossom decoration. Unfortunately there are no geishas, who keep us company during the meal. What a pity.
Before we are allowed to gobble the fish, we have to put our bets. It starts at $0,01 and the maximum bet is $3. We would have liked to have had more leeway when betting, but so what? The good news is: Kobushi can be played on the computer, but also mobile. Hungry for Sushi while sitting in the car or bus? No problem, isoftbet thought of that.
Bonuses and Winnings
Kobushi not only makes you hungry for sushi, but also for profits. After all, that’s what we’re here for, right?
Let’s start with the green and orange Ninja Fish, which can replace all symbols on the reels except the scatter and bonus symbol. If you collect five symbols of the Ninja Fish on an active payline, you will receive 1000 coins. Each Wild symbol that appears on the center reel spreads out across the entire reel and stays in this mode until the next round. If you manage to do this during a free spin, it remains as a Sticky Wild symbol for the entire round. A very important feature to win.
The rice and salmon sushi symbol is the scatter symbol and offers players some cool multipliers in addition to free spins. If you collect three you get a fivefold multiplier, if you collect four you get a tenfold multiplier, and if you collect five you get an incredible 25x multiplier! What else can go wrong?
The best comes last, because Kobushi offers not one, no, but two progressive jackpots that the player can win! As soon as the two Kobushi jackpot symbols appear, the jackpot chance is triggered. There is the Ninja Jackpot and the Sushi Jackpot and both are worthwhile. To win the jackpot you have to play with the highest stake, but you will also get 15000 coins if you collect five jackpot symbols.
Conclusion
We wish all players good luck! We’re going to take a break and go for sushi, this review has made us hungry.
