Hear-ye, hear-ye. There is a game new to the land, and it brings with it enough fortune and joy to turn peasants into noblemen. Kingmaker Megaways slot comes with plenty of winning opportunities, as well as a medieval theme – not quite as common as Egyptian and Irish themed online slots, but seen enough to leave us hoping for something a little unique. It just so happens that there is, as well as a free spins feature. So, without further ado, let’s mount our noble steeds and gallop straight into the details of Kingmaker Megaways.
Big Time Gaming have given us a title that certainly has a slice of quaint scenery, with the pay table sitting on a background consisting of a delightful mountain range as well as a traditional looking castle. With the lack of mountains in England we’re assuming they might have been going for Wales or Scotland as their location. The graphics aren’t too bad, although they aren’t quite on the level of games such as Sherlock of London by Rabcat Gaming, or Viking Wilds by Iron Dog Studio. However, there are a behemoth 16,807 possible ways to win, which is bigger than most rival games on the market. We know there’s 5 reels but we’re not too sure how many rows there are, as each reel can form between 2 – 8 rows on any given spin.
Big Time Gaming have set the maximum win amount at £250,000.00, which is what most studios are going for these days. It won’t buy you a castle, but it will get you a series of epic vacations staying in castle-like locations. One of the best aspects of this game is that the maximum bet amount is £20.00 per spin. Most games make you spin £100.00 and over to win jackpots of this size, but not here. The minimum amount that can be wagered is £0.20, and there’s also a very respectable RTP ratio of 96.65% to help you in not losing moat loads of cash.
Low and behold, we have a quite fabulous array of symbols available, with a couple having some special powers. The first ones we’ll look at are the lower paying symbols, and although serving a purpose they are a little boring compared to the rest. They comprise of playing card symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, with the king and ace being the highest value of these. We then have symbols that rise in value and consist of 4 gems with ancient symbols. The gems are green, red, blue and purple, with the purple one having the highest value.
Coming to the special icons, we start with the wild. This one has the ability to substitute all regular icons to create a winning payline. The only symbol it can’t substitute is the scatter symbol – the crown – and this one is where all the fun really begins.
The gem symbols carry a little more functionality that just higher paying icons. You’ll notice flags to the left of the reels when you begin, displaying 1x. Every time you land a 5 of a kind win with gem symbols you’ll turn these flags to 2x, meaning that all wins will be multiplied by 2. The multiplier will keep growing until you trigger the free spins feature.
The free spins feature, you say? Yes indeed, and this is just the boost you need to get you some brilliant wins. To trigger the feature you’ll need to land 3 , 4 or 5 scatter symbols on the same spin. The breakdown of the spins is as follows:
The great thing here is that should you land any of the above amount of scatters during the free spins you’ll be awarded the same amount as listed above.
It’s all to play for in this title full of thrills and winning opportunities at our UK Online Casino. While there isn’t the interactivity and sublime graphics we’ve seen in other games so far this year there are plenty of win boosting features. The gem symbols multiplier along with the free spins are superb for your winning chances, while a maximum win amount of £250,000.00 is nothing to be sniffed at.
