The story
Fiction and adapted settings written by Akitsora Gaming for this title, including invented dialogue and events. This is not a historical or folklore reference. The rules and specification tables define the gameplay and math.
Born from a giant peach that split open by itself, the young hero sets forth.
One millet dumpling at a time, he gathers his companions along the road.
I. The Peach Down the River
Long ago, while an old man cut firewood in the hills and an old woman washed clothes by the clear mountain stream, a giant crimson peach came bobbing down the current. Every child knows that opening line, yet the older picture scrolls preserve a quieter marvel: carried home and set upon the wooden table, the peach split open by itself to reveal a healthy child sitting inside.
Across this five-reel, four-row scroll grid, fixed paylines give way to all-ways combinations flowing from the leftmost reel across the board. That miraculous fruit serves as the Split Peach Wild on the middle columns, standing in for every emblem except the oni mask to bridge matching symbols from left to right on any spin of the painted scroll. From riverside village to wave-lashed island fortress, the storybook adventure unfolds with vibrant woodblock charm on every spin.
II. Millet Dumplings for the Road
Grown into a resolute youth, Momotaro announced that he would cross the sea to quell the marauding ogres of the distant island. Before he stepped through the village gate, the old woman steamed and rolled warm millet dumplings for his pouch alongside his painted war fan, armored surcoat, battle baton, and katana for the long march toward the coast. Along the sunlit mountain trail, silk expedition banners ripple in the breeze as the companions march steadfastly toward the sea.
Along the winding mountain path he met the loyal dog, then the clever monkey, and finally the swift pheasant. Each asked what he carried at his waist; each received one of Japan’s best millet dumplings and pledged to follow him as one of his three companions, turning the folktale road into the living heartbeat of the free-spins feature. From riverside village to wave-lashed island fortress, the storybook adventure unfolds with vibrant woodblock charm on every spin.
III. Companions Joining the Ranks
When enough Oni Masks land upon the scroll in a single spin, war drums thunder and the Onitaiji free spins begin. Just as Momotaro did not begin his quest with a full retinue at his side, the three animal companions start the feature with empty meters and gather strength one appearance at a time across the spinning reels. Along the sunlit mountain trail, silk expedition banners ripple in the breeze as the companions march steadfastly toward the sea.
The moment a companion’s meter fills completely, that ally officially joins the party—turning every instance of its symbol into a Split Peach Wild for the remainder of the feature. With each new companion recruited along the way, more symbols on the reels act as wilds and the ways combinations multiply rapidly across the entire scroll. From riverside village to wave-lashed island fortress, the storybook adventure unfolds with vibrant woodblock charm on every spin.
IV. Setting Sail for Onigashima
Only when the dog, monkey, and pheasant have all joined the ranks does the wooden boat push off through the crashing waves for storm-lashed Onigashima. Reaching the island grants extra spins and doubles every ways payout from the very next spin onward, with four distinct symbols now acting as wilds across the grid at the same time. Along the sunlit mountain trail, silk expedition banners ripple in the breeze as the companions march steadfastly toward the sea.
On the rocky shore stand the red oni and blue oni—bracing fiercely when masks land, flinching back a step whenever a companion joins the banner, and roaring together as the island assault begins. Where the folktale reaches its final battle, the full party’s arrival marks the round’s most exhilarating stretch of the voyage. From riverside village to wave-lashed island fortress, the storybook adventure unfolds with vibrant woodblock charm on every spin.
