Raiden Shogun slot specification, and who published each figure
This is the whole numeric claim this host makes about the Raiden Shogun slot, with the provenance attached. Habanero publishes some of it, trade coverage and listings publish some of it, the captures on these pages settle a part of it, and one group of items we could find nowhere but our own earlier pages. Those are labelled as such rather than quietly promoted.

The field, and a correction to our own earlier pages
The field is five reels by five rows. The earlier pages at this address said five by three, repeatedly and in their structured data, and that is simply wrong. Three independent descriptions of the game put it at five by five, including the studio's own announcement, and so do the captures on this site, which were taken from the running game and show fields five symbols deep.
It is worth saying out loud because the rule we work to is that our own archive is the source of record. The exception is when the archive contradicts a photograph of the thing it describes and nothing outside supports it. That is this case, and the correction is the first entry on this page rather than a footnote at the bottom.
The math, stated as a set
Five return settings ship with this game: 86%, 92%, 94%, 97% and 98%. The operator that installed it chooses which is live, so the question “what is the RTP” has no answer that is true everywhere. We print the set, we do not average it, and we do not pick a representative figure, because the spread is twelve points wide and an average of five settings is a number no player can ever be playing.
Outside this site the same game is published with single percentages: three listings say 96.62% and an operator's own game page says 93.83%. Neither is in the set above. We are not calling them wrong — each is probably accurate for whatever installation the writer looked at — but neither is the game's figure, and the only place that answers the question for your session is the information panel inside the game.
Three Scatters, eight games. The panel states the number before the first of them is spun.
The ceiling, the volatility and the feature
The ceiling is x10,516 the stake on our source and on one listing that repeats it closely; a larger comparison table prints x10,000. Volatility is very high on our source and high on most listings outside, which is the same statement at two resolutions. The free games award eight, eighteen or thirty-eight spins from three, four or five Scatters, and that is agreed by everyone who publishes it.
The 259 Connected Ways figure is the most corroborated thing about this game: the studio sells it on that number, the trade item announcing the release leads with it, and every listing we read repeats it. Where sources differ at all, they differ on percentages and on the rounded ceiling, never on the mechanic.
What only we say
Three items come from the product summary on our own earlier pages and nowhere else we could find: a tournament mode, a replay of the last round, and a respin listed beside the free games, plus a twenty-five coin setting behind the stake controls. They are plausible — all of them are ordinary studio-wide facilities — but plausible is not corroborated, and they are flagged here so they are not repeated elsewhere as established.
The same summary also listed two things that belong to a different release by the same studio: a horse symbol and a hold-and-ride mechanic, neither of which exists in a game about a samurai and a bamboo grove. They have been removed rather than reworded. An archive is a source, not an oracle, and this page is the place that says so.

Controls measured off the captures
Buy Feature
priced at about fifty-six times the stake in both captures — €2,798 against a €50 bet, €34,975 against a €625 one. A listing elsewhere rounds the same thing to fifty-five.
Super Bet
twice the stake in both captures — €100 against €50, €1,250 against €625 — and greyed out once the free games begin.
Bet, Bet Level, Coin
three separate controls on the bar, so the same stake can be reached more than one way. What a level or a coin step is worth is set by the operator, not by this page.
Where each of those came from
Level 1. The studio's name, the Japanese setting and the five-by-five field — the studio's own announcement of the game, which calls it a five-by-five reel game steeped in samurai legend, plus the studio logo burnt into the corner of every capture on this host.
Level 1. The field height, the stacked Wild, the multiplier panel, the Buy Feature and Super Bet prices — the captures themselves. They were taken from the running game, and a thing visible in a capture outranks a sentence about it — including a sentence this domain used to publish.
Level 2. The release, the 259 ways and the stacking multipliers — a trade outlet's launch item, which names the studio, the ways count and the multiplier behaviour in one line, and a distribution platform's weekly list of new titles.
Level 3. Free games of eight to thirty-eight, the buy price, the stake range and a single return figure — listing sites and operator lobbies. They agree on the feature and disagree on the percentage, which is the point of the section above.
Level 4. The five return settings, the x10,516 ceiling, the very high volatility and the named extras — this domain's own earlier pages. One listing repeats the set and the ceiling almost word for word; everything else outside prints a single percentage instead.
Figures, in short
Why does this site not give one RTP figure?
Because the game does not have one. It ships with 86%, 92%, 94%, 97% and 98%, and the operator that installed it chooses which runs. The live setting is in the game's own information panel.
Why do other sites give a single percentage?
Each is reporting the installation it looked at. Three listings print 96.62% and an operator's page prints 93.83%, and neither figure is in the set of five the game ships with.
Is the field five rows or three?
Five. The earlier pages at this address said three and were wrong; the captures on this site and three independent descriptions, including the studio's own, all show five.
Which maximum win should I believe?
Both numbers are in circulation: x10,516 from our source and one listing, x10,000 from a larger comparison table. We have verified neither ourselves and say so rather than choosing one.
Is Habanero confirmed as the studio?
Yes. The studio announced the game itself, a trade outlet reported the release, a distribution platform listed it among new titles, and the studio's mark is in the corner of the game frame in every capture here.
Age, limits and help
18 and over in the UK. This is a very high volatility game with a feature that
is designed to be chased, and a buy button that will sell you the feature at around
fifty-six times your stake. Decide what the session is worth before the first spin, and
let the account's own deposit and loss limits hold that line instead of your judgement
forty spins in.
If it has stopped being entertainment, the national gambling helpline is free, answers
round the clock, every day of the week, and runs on two numbers rather than one —

GamStop is a free self-exclusion scheme that shuts the accounts you hold with operators licensed in Great Britain, and it is a form you fill in rather than a call
you have to make.
