Autumn sunlight warms the lawns of Nara Park beneath the slope of Mount Wakakusa.
At one clear note of the horn, the sacred deer form a line and amble toward the rice crackers.
I. Sacred Messengers on the Autumn Lawn
For centuries the tame deer of Nara Park have roamed freely beneath the ancient cedars and the gentle crest of Mt. Wakakusa, revered as messengers of the shrine. Across the reels lie the sights of an autumn afternoon in the park: a proud stag with branching antlers, a gentle doe, fallen acorns, green grass, scarlet maple leaves, and scattered cracker crumbs.
Whenever a pair of deer-call horns sounds in the base game, a trio of deer may come strolling in from the right edge of the park along a single row, leaving wild hoofprints across every regular cell they cross for that spin.
II. The Sound of the Deer-Call Horn
One of Nara's most beloved seasonal traditions is shika-yose—calling the herd out of the woods with the clear melody of a natural horn. When enough deer-call horns echo across the board on a single spin, the park gates open to the Deer Call free spins.
A line of deer steps out onto the lawn to begin the parade, staying on the board from spin to spin to the right of the wooden fence on the first reel. After the reels stop on each round, the entire herd takes several steps across the grass in search of their favourite treat.
III. Chasing Rice Crackers Across the Park
Nothing catches a Nara deer's eye faster than a fresh deer cracker. Whenever crackers land on the bonus reels, the leader of the line turns and guides the herd straight toward the nearest one; each cracker the leader munches calls another deer out of the trees to join the tail of the parade.
Every cell occupied by the marching deer line acts as a wild hoofprint, and the entire spin's way wins are multiplied by the current length of the herd. The more crackers they eat, the longer the wild trail grows and the higher the multiplier climbs.
IV. A Polite Bow Before the Feast
Visitors to Nara quickly learn that the park's deer have a charming habit of nodding their heads in a polite bow before receiving a cracker. During the parade, the entire line of deer will occasionally bow in unison at the end of their walk, multiplying the herd-length multiplier yet again!
Best of all, on the exact spin the herd reaches its maximum length, every deer in the line performs a grand synchronized bow together. This gentle autumn stroll through Nara Park is the game's theme rather than a promise: every spin's outcome is decided solely by the server's random number generator.
