BGaming’s Sakura Riches 60 slot features “AI-polished visuals”
I recently came across an interesting view on AI. We wanted AI to take care of household chores like laundry and taxes so we could focus on creating art and music. Instead, AI is now creating art and music, so you can spend more time doing your laundry and doing your taxes. It’s a fun twist, but it’s also a heartbreaking reflection on how technology evolves in ways we don’t expect. Perhaps the real question is not what AI can do for us, but what we truly value investing our time in.
So why the rant about AI? In the release notes for the new Sakura Riches 60 slot, BGaming states that the game features “AI-polished visuals.” It’s unclear what this actually entails, but it won’t be the last time we see AI being used to create visuals for slot games. In fact, it may already be happening. BGaming seems to be the only provider being proactive about this.

What’s really fun about the Sakura Riches 60 slot and its AI visuals is that they’re reminiscent of Samurai Jack. And in many ways this is a poignant comparison. Just as Aku plunged Jack into a chaotic future he can barely navigate, AI has the potential to advance industries like art and gaming into uncharted territory where humans will struggle to regain their footing. Sure, the widely talented Jack may still shine, but many of us will be lost in the chaos of Aku.

The Sakura Riches 60 slot offers bets starting from $0.30 per round. If you bet up to $132 per round, you can win up to $396,000 thanks to a max multiplier of 3,000x. Slots offer low to medium volatility. This means that small to medium wins occur consistently. The slot has an RTP rating of 97.16%.
The slot doesn’t really have any bonus features to speak of. There are scatter symbols here, but instead of unlocking a round of free spins, the symbols pay out when three or more appear anywhere on the reels. The Sakura Riches 60 slot also features wild symbols that replace other symbols to complete or strengthen winning combinations.
Is Sakura Riches 60 slot a sign of things to come?
There are mixed feelings about using AI to create slot games. On the one hand, it provides an incredible opportunity for smaller teams to compete against bigger, more established players. But it also removes the human oddity from creation. And I’m a fan of quirky.
If demonstrating the benefits of AI in slot game creation was the goal when designing the Sakura Riches 60 slot, I’m not sure if I succeeded. Yes, the graphics look really good. But the slot itself is pretty ordinary. There’s no going back to this game as it has little to no bonus features and fairly standard gameplay. I give Sakura Lich 60 slot a 6 out of 10.
Not to praise this slot, but BGaming has a library with some amazing titles. If you’re looking for featured products, I recommend Snoop Dogg Dollars and Minesweeper.
