Stories of Japanese warrior heroism seldom include women, so the video slot Samurai Princess, available online, is a refreshing change with its sword-wielding heroine. It is also one of the most beautifully designed slot games around, depicting a tree-lined, flower-strewn meadow with a river running through it, an ornamental bridge and an exquisite Japanese village in the background. Similar attention to fine detail and vivid colours is apparent in the symbols.
