Ronin ranks its symbols in three tiers: three Daruma dolls at the low end, a tiger, a dragon, and three Oni masks in the middle, and the ronin warrior with the female samurai at the top. The purple samurai-helmet wild substitutes for everything except the cat scatter, and three cats trigger the free spins round.

Reading the paytable honestly
Ronin does not use a cluster or Megaways layout, so its paytable behaves the way most players expect: symbols line up left to right across 20 fixed paylines on a 5x3 grid, and the payout depends on which tier of symbol lands and how many appear on the line.
The low tier is made up of three coloured Daruma dolls, and every source we reviewed places them at the bottom of the payout scale. One review lists a five-of-a-kind value around 1x the stake for this tier, with individual line wins ranging roughly from 0.2x to 1x depending on the combination.
The middle tier brings in the tiger, the dragon, and three Oni masks in different colours. These sit clearly above the Daruma symbols, with reported five-of-a-kind values in the 2x to 5x range, giving the reels a visible step up once mid-tier symbols start landing.
At the top, the ronin warrior and the female samurai are the two symbols that pay the most among the standard set, with one source citing a five-of-a-kind payout around 10x the stake. This puts a reasonable ceiling on regular-symbol wins before the wild and scatter come into play.
We were not able to confirm a complete, symbol-by-symbol paytable published directly by PopOK Gaming. Where sources disagree or a figure isn't documented, we say so rather than filling the gap with an assumed industry-standard number.
The purple wild appears on reels two through five and substitutes for every symbol except the cat scatter, so it can complete lines across all three tiers. The cat scatter itself does not carry a fixed cash value in the sources — its role is to trigger the 10 free spins.

Paytable questions about Ronin
Which symbol pays the most in Ronin?
The ronin warrior and the female samurai sit at the top of the standard symbol set, with reported five-of-a-kind values around 10x the stake, above the tiger, dragon, and Oni masks.
Does the purple wild substitute for the cat scatter?
No. The purple samurai-helmet wild substitutes for every symbol on reels two through five except the bonus cat scatter, which has to land naturally to trigger free spins.
How many cat scatters are needed for free spins?
Three bonus cat scatters trigger the free spins round, which awards 10 free spins.
Are the Daruma dolls the weakest symbols on the paytable?
Yes, the three coloured Daruma dolls form the low-paying tier, sitting below the tiger, dragon, and Oni masks in every source we checked.
Is there a full official paytable published by PopOK Gaming?
We could not find a complete symbol-by-symbol table on an official source; the ranking and approximate ranges here come from independent review sites.
Does the bonus buy change which symbols appear?
Sources describe bonus buy at 50x stake as a way to enter the free spins directly; they do not indicate any change to the symbol set or paytable itself.
What triggers the random jackpot mode mentioned for Ronin?
Reviews note that a random jackpot mode can activate at the end of any spin, independent of which symbols land, though the exact trigger conditions aren't fully detailed.
Do collected wilds carry over between spins?
Some sources describe collected wilds being placed for a super-spin-style extra chance, but the precise mechanics beyond this aren't fully documented.
