The Japanese traditional martial arts and shodo calligraphy are thematized in The Glorious Sensei, an oriental October 2019 video slot from games developer Betixon. “Sensei” is a Japanese-style martial arts trainer.

There are two jackpots in The Glorious Sensei whose nine (out of eleven, with colorful seamless wave patterns) golden-framed symbols require three to five combinations in its 1024 nonadjustable left-to-right ways to pay the otherwise lowly X2 to X60 payouts.

The Glorious Sensei Game Characteristics

A high-altitude rocky dojo amid carved outdoor pillar lanterns is in the background of The Glorious Sensei’s fancy golden-framed 5X4 grid, which is embedded on a red pagoda shed.

Total bets: $0.30 (minimum), $0.60, $1.50, $3.00, $7.50, $15.00, and $30.00 (maximum). The Glorious Sensei’s two special symbols: a substituting vintage red-and-golden “wild” lantern; and a bonus game-triggering blue “scatter” lotus flower.

Nine ordinary symbols: elderly sensei in green-and-orange; youthful ninja in blue-and-golden; beflowered geisha hostess; and calligraphic golden A, red K, green J, pink Q, blue 9, and purple 10.
