Sets on a 5×5 grid with avalanching reels and 15 paylines, this Toshi Video Club slot should have been a slam dunk. So why did we only give it 2 stars?
We love the slot theme of this gorgeous casino game, even with its grey monotone colours, with just a splash of orange to make the symbols pop out. And the symbols are adorable, with that Japanese Kawaii feel that fans of this eastern artwork will love.
Despite being set on a 5×5 grid, this Toshi Video Club mobile slot is not a proper grid slot in the traditional way in that it doesn’t have cluster play mechanics, so the wins are a little harder to find.
But that’s ok because it has big multipliers and a top win of 10,000x your bet. We can forgive that flaw, right?
The trick to loving this online slot game is to ensure you get lots of wins in a row, and you catch the Daruma symbols. Every time these show up, you can have an added multiplier of 1x to 100x.
1x may not seem like a lot, but these multipliers add to each other on every win. Don’t forget that this Toshi Video Club slot has avalanching reels, meaning that on every win the winning symbols explode, and more come tumbling down.
A 1x multiplier could add to a 50x multiplier to make 51x. It all makes a difference when you add them up.
The problem, of course, is that with only 15 paylines Toshi Video Club never gains the momentum you need to really feel excited about those multipliers. Either the paytable should have been stronger or the cluster plays would have added the missing energy.
That’s not to say that there’s no hope. This very volatile game does have a huge top win, and the only way you are going to get there is by catching 3 scatters.
At this point, the multiplier doesn’t reset between spins but can keep growing and growing. If you catch the Big Darmua multiplier times, you could have 300x or 500x multipliers showing up on the reels.
It’s a long shot. As is the buy the free spins feature which is set at a costly 120x your bet. But the shot is there, which is why we gave this Toshi Video Club slot review 2 stars.
But personally, we will probably simply play on online mobile slots like Viking Runecraft slot or check out the Codex of Fortune slot game which has the same top win but a faster and more fun pace to their spin.

There's something wonderfully fun about the theme of this Toshi Video Club slot on mobile, if only because it's unlike most new slot games out now.
But with a low RTP of 94.20% and a slow burn of a base game, this machine wasn't quite convincing enough to allow us to fully recommend it.
That said, we can't help but remind you that this does have a win of 10,000x your bet thanks to some big multipliers. So if you are the kind of player who likes long shots and hail-mary spins, you've certainly got a very volatile beautiful game to play.
It's just too much of a long shot for our liking.
