Features and bonuses
Take Sushi
Beneath the reels, you'll notice a conveyor belt that moves 1 to 10 Money symbols with values ranging from 1x to 1,000x your bet. These symbols can be collected by landing three Take Sushi symbols on the first, middle, and last reels. During the free spins, this feature can become even more lucrative, as Money symbols can be worth up to 2,500x your bet.
Free Spins
Triggered by landing three scatter symbols on the middle reels, you start with 10 free spins, and during this round all Money symbols that appear are accumulated into a meter. To cash out the accumulated amount, you need to land three Take All symbols, which will then collect the entire meter and reset it to zero.
Buy Free Spins
For players eager to skip straight to the action for 85x your current bet, you can instantly trigger the free spins feature. This option keeps the RTP consistent, making it an appealing choice for those who want to dive into the most exciting part of the game without delay.

Final say
Jack's verdict
Anyone order a quirky dish with a side of frustration? No? To start, the game's food conveyor belt theme is a fresh take, but the free spins round, with its elusive Take All symbol, can be a real appetite killer. Collecting hefty sums only to watch them slip away unclaimed isn't my idea of a good meal. It's a game of highs and lows, much like my last attempt at making sushi at home.
Tim's verdict
It was a bit like ordering sushi from a convenience store... initially appealing but ultimately lacking. The base game is palatable, but the free spins are like wasabi and too much can ruin the experience. Trying to snag the big payouts is tougher than picking up a slippery sashimi with chopsticks. It's fun for a quick bite, but don't expect a gourmet experience. Enough sushi anecdotes for you?
