Midnight in Tokyo is an Asian-themed installment in the Hold the Jackpot series from Wazdan, and it plays out on 5x3 reels with 243+ win ways and comes with a huge potential of 3,000x the stake. Choose your own volatility (low, medium, or high), and benefit from ninja and kung fu cat wilds that slice adjacent symbols in two or three. The big attraction is the streak respins-style Jackpot Bonus Round, where you can win up to 1,233x your total bet.

Midnight in Tokyo Review
Set against the Tokyo skyline under the stars, Midnight in Tokyo looks like your typical oriental-themed slot at first glance. Once you spin the reels, however, you’ll soon notice the charming Ninja and Kung Fu Cat Wilds. They slice adjacent symbols in two (or three sometimes) to increase the number of win ways, and this game feels far less generic than previous Asian-themed installments in the Wazdan series.
The whole Hold the Jackpot saga is one of those concepts that can go on forever, but the mechanics are usually different. Much like the theme and the base game features, the Hold & Win-style Jackpot Game is changed significantly per release. You stand to win up to 3,000x your stake in this installment though, which is in the upper range of what this series has to offer.

This game comes with a ninja cat wild and a Kung Fu cat wild, and these step in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos. The Ninja Wild splits adjoining symbols on either side in two, while the Kung Fu Wild splits symbols above and below in two. In cases with only 1 adjacent symbol, it splits into 3 instead of 2. This also increases the number of win ways.

You trigger the Hold the Jackpot Bonus when you land 3 Geisha Cat bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 on the same spin. It plays out on a new grid with the triggering bonus symbols sticky, and only bonus symbols and cash moon symbols will land. These also become sticky on the grid, and the respins tally resets to 3 for each new symbol you land.
The Moon Cash symbols award prizes worth 1 to 10 times your stake mostly, and 15x or 20x your stake on rarer occasions. The streak respins style feature goes on until you either run out of spins or fill the screen with symbols. When the feature ends, your cash prizes are summed up and paid, and the same goes for Geisha Cat Bonus Symbol Jackpots (except for 3 and 4 Geisha symbols prizes):
- 3 Geisha bonus symbols award 5x your stake.
- 4 Geisha bonus symbols award 10x your stake.
- Major Jackpot - 5 Geisha bonus symbols award 150x your stake.
- Grand Jackpot - 6 Geisha bonus symbols award 1,000x your stake.
You can win more than one jackpot at the same time, meaning that if you win the Grand jackpot, the Major one can also be paid.
The most you can win from the Cash Moon symbols is 1,233x your stake. Non-UK players can buy the Bonus Jackpot Game for 55x the total stake.Worth mentioning is also the unique gamble feature that’s included in this game. You can gamble any winnings up to 7 times in a double or nothing fashion, and each time the Kung Fu Cat manages to break a pile of bricks with his paw you win. Of course, if the cat doesn't succeed with his karate-chop, you lose everything.
The 200 Spins Midnight in Tokyo Slot Experience
You get to see some wild symbol splits in the base game before we trigger the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game around 0:45 into the almost 2-minute highlights video. We came close to filling the screen, but not quite, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
Review Summary
First of all, we would like to commend Wazdan for giving players such a great number of options. You can choose your own volatility level (low, standard, or high), which also affects the hit frequency and prize value. You can also set the game pace according to 3 levels, which is something we would like to see every developer adapt. The cat Ninja/Kung Fu theme is kind of entertaining too, and the Wild Splitters feature is fun to watch for a while.
The theme might be Asian, but it’s not as generic as other installments in the Hold The Jackpot series, and it has a lot more charm for sure.
The streak respins style feature is something we see a lot these days, and the 3,000x potential is not all that in the larger scheme of things. Still, we would say Midnight in Tokyo is the most playable and fun slot in the Wazdan series so far, and the max win is also higher than in many previous installments.Pros
- Exciting Wild Splitter mechanics
- Hold the Jackpot cash prizes up to 1,233x
- Bonus buy for 55x (not UK players)
Cons
- The max win potential could have been higher
