The Tale of Kyubiko slot invites you into the lair of a mischievous spirit that will either bring you good luck or become your fearsome foe.
Tale of Kyubiko is a 3-reel slot machine with 5 fixed paylines, and Stacked Wilds that walk one reel per spin, increasing the multiplier by each re-spin of the reels.
That’s the simple version. But if you know anything about Play’n GO slots is that even their classic 3 reelers are not boring old fruit machines – they bring you something special.
And what makes this mobile slot game special is the shapeshifting goddess Inari, who can take both the form of a human and a fox AND is the stacked wild symbol on the reels.
Much like the Fire Joker slot, what you have here is 3 reels with one big simple feature that will captivate you with each win.
Why? Because Inari is stacked 3 high and is the fox symbol. She will not always land fully on the reel, but if she doesn’t, she might nudge down to cover the reel.
Either way, when you see her in her full glorious form, magic happens. Because if you get a win, you get a free re-spin of the reels and Inari evolves.
She increases the multiplier on the next week and moves to another random location. She also slowly turns into the most beautiful woman you’ll ever see.
This is the one and only features in this Tale of Kyubiko online slot. You have a stacked wild that stays sticky for as long as you get a win, and you get increasing multipliers.
How big is the multiplier? Up to 25x, giving you a potential top win of 2250x your bet in a single spin. And that right there is a brilliant top win for a mid-variance game.
Which is what we really liked about this machine. It’s not horrifically volatile like the Fire Joker Freeze slot or the Captain Xeno’s Earth Adventure slot.
Instead, you get some beautiful simple spins with one big bold feature and some even-handed wins that will keep your budget ticking along.

Stacked Wilds With Respins and Multipliers: The fox is the wild symbol and comes stacked 3 symbols high. She can land partially or fully covering a reel. If she only falls partially on the reel, she can nudge to cover the reel.
Get a win with Inari and you'll get a free re-spin of the reels as she moves to a different location. She also increases the multiplier on the next win from x2, to x3, x5, x10, and finally x25.
This continues until you get no more wins.
The Tale of Kyubiko slot is a simple 3 reel game with 5 payline that keeps things simple, but with big wins.
Thanks to the big multiplier of x25 after winning respins with the stacked wilds, you could win as much as 2,500x your bet.
Will you win big each time? Probably not. This is a mid variance game, giving you some balanced wins, and if you get anywhere near 500x your bet maybe count yourself lucky.
But we had great fun playing on something a little less risky than most, and with a beautiful Japanese slot theme, not unlike the Big Win Cat slot game.
