The cherry blossoms are in bloom again, and that can only mean one thing — Quickspin's iconic heroine has returned. Sakura Fortune II is the long-awaited sequel to the 2017 original, and it wastes no time getting back to business. With its sword-bearing protagonist and flurry of petals, this instalment keeps the aesthetic firmly rooted in Japanese mythology, while stepping things up on the gameplay side with new reel mechanics.
This time, Sakura’s story plays out across a 5-reel layout with a 3-4-4-4-3 configuration, offering 576 potential ways to win instead of fixed paylines. Symbols pay from left to right, starting on the first. Stakes start at 0.20, and while the layout is narrower than many contemporary slots, the visual presentation remains full-bodied thanks to the drawn temple backdrop and sakura-filled skies.
As for the studio behind the reels, Quickspin needs little introduction. Known for hits like Eastern Emeralds, Sticky Bandits, and Big Bad Wolf, the developer has carved out a name for itself by blending strong visual direction with smart mechanics. Sakura Fortune II continues that legacy — and for those who’ve already played the original, there’s enough familiarity to settle into, with just the right amount of shakeup to make things feel refreshed.

The Princess Wild is a towering 4x1 symbol that appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4. It substitutes for any regular symbol and can potentially nudge into full view, potentially locking in place and triggering respins. Meanwhile, sword scatter symbols are your ticket into the bonus game and appear on the three central reels during the base game.
This feature is Sakura Fortune’s signature. Whenever a Princess Wild lands partially in view on reels 2, 3, or 4, there’s a chance it will nudge to fill the entire reel. If it does, the wild locks in place, and a respin is awarded. Landing additional nudging wilds during respins locks them too, leading to stacked winning potential. This feature also sets the stage for the game’s bonus round.
To trigger the free spins, players must land three sword scatter symbols on the middle reels. When this happens, reels 1 and 5 respin once, with only sword symbols in play. If you land more swords during the respin, you can boost your bonus round:
During Fortune Free Spins, every Sakura Wild that lands expands fully and locks in place for the remainder of the bonus. If all three middle reels become locked with wilds, all wins are multiplied by 3x.
If you’ve enjoyed the combination of expanding wilds and serene visuals in Sakura Fortune II, the Sakura Fortune Live is a must-try. You might also want to take a look at Eastern Emeralds or Sakura Fortune Epic Bloom, both from Quickspin and both available at Heart Bingo.
