Shinobi Hamster: sixteen holes, three mallets and a result board from 1 to 1000

An arcade game, not a slot: sixteen holes in front of a Japanese castle gate, three mallets, prizes from 1 to 1000 and FAIL holes that end the round.

Shinobi Hamster board before a round: sixteen empty holes on a grass field between two light-studded rails, a castle gate under a red and yellow rising-sun backdrop, three mallets bottom right, PLACE YOUR BET, BET 1.00 and a RESULT BOARD from 1000 down to 1

Three wooden mallets with red and white rising-sun heads lie in the bottom right corner before the round starts. By the end of it they're gone, three holes say FAIL, and the middle of the screen says GAME OVER. Shinobi Hamster on SKY777 isn't a slot. It's a fairground whack-a-mole with a Japanese theme, and it's one of the stranger games in the lobby.

The board

A grass field slopes away from you between two blue rails studded with coloured light bulbs, like an arcade cabinet. At the far end is a castle gate with a samurai helmet over it, backed by a red and yellow rising sun. Sixteen dark holes are set in the grass in five rows.

Along the bottom: BET with left and right arrows (1.00 in all three shots), the RESULT BOARD, and a NEW GAME button. The result board is a strip of fourteen boxes: 1000, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 50, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 and 1. WIN UP TO 1000 is printed in red on the left, and TOTAL WIN sits top right. The balance is shown in MPV, the points unit several SKY777 games use.

A round that ended in GAME OVER

The board after GAME OVER: three FAIL holes, and numbers in the other opened holes (25, 1, 5, 30, 500, 20, 200 and 1000), with red dots on the result board under the same values and TOTAL WIN MPV 0.00

After the round, eleven holes are open. Three say FAIL. The other eight show numbers, 1000 and 500 among them, and the result board has a red dot under each of those eight values. But TOTAL WIN reads MPV 0.00, and the balance has gone from 7.94 to 5.94.

I can't tell from three screenshots whether those numbers were hits that didn't count, or the game showing you what was hidden once the round was over. My guess is the second, but check Game Help before you put money on it.

Settings

The SETTINGS panel over the game: Balance MPV 7.94, Game Help, Bet History, Background Music and Sound

The menu button top right opens a settings panel with the balance, Game Help, Bet History and switches for music and sound. Bet History is worth a look after a few rounds of a game this unclear.

Questions people ask

How does Shinobi Hamster work?

From the screens: you set a bet, and a board of sixteen holes hides numbers from 1 to 1000 and some FAIL holes. You have three mallets, and the round in these captures ended in GAME OVER after three FAILs. The exact rule for how the numbers pay isn't shown; it's under Game Help in the settings menu.

What's the most you can win in Shinobi Hamster?

The screen says WIN UP TO 1000, and 1000 is the top slot on the result board. Whether that means 1000 times the bet or 1000 in credits, the captures don't say.
