Play King's Crown for Free

The free King's Crown slot does boast some of the old world penny slots appeal, however it does add some elements of the modern pokies. Rather than a 3 reel layout, this slot has five, and it has 10 paylines instead of the traditional 10 – so it offers more lucrative potential than the old school casino slot machines. Its frame and reels are quite basic being a plain green colour, and the symbols, too, are rather basically drawn, using just the traditional bars and double bars, bells, oranges, lemons, melons, cherries, grapes and plums as well as the original 7s which you would find on the original pub fruit machines.

The only unexpected symbol is the king's crown itself which is also the wild symbol. On the upside, the colours are bold and bright and the retro theme is certainly in evidence, and when you play King's Crown, you'll also notice the traditional soundtrack which conjures up bricks and mortar casinos with its original sounding rattling.

While King's Crown isn't the most entertaining slot to play for free due to its lack of top cutting edge features such as would be found in the latest releases like 3D graphics and exciting animations, it certainly offers gamblers the chance of winning some great real cash rewards. The wild symbol in the shape of the king's crown itself can scoop high payouts as long as the gambler is prepared to put down the max bet of 500 coins per spin, however those who are looking for an exciting game feature will be disappointed since there are no free spins, no side game, no gamble feature and no multiplier to look forward to. On the upside, since it is relatively low variance, there are quite a few chances of payouts when playing this slot.

If you're longing for the old days, you'll find plenty of classic pokie games in online casinos. Even though the most recent online slots boast all kinds of bells and whistles, there will always be a certain kind of player who prefers to keep things simple with a nice old basic slot. This is why there are more nostalgic slots than you can shake a stick at these days, so whether you are looking for something with an old world feel but more modern touches such as Retro Reels or Cherries Gone Wild by Microgaming or something even more traditional, you won't be short of options. If you want to go seriously back in time, Microgaming's Diamond 7s will perfectly fit the bill, with only 3 reels and a single payline. On the other hand, if you're looking for a simple slot with a higher volatility, Real Time Gaming's 7s to Burn could be the right classic slot for you with its return to player percentage of 95.10%.

Although King's Crown by Amatic does have a certain appeal to those who enjoy more old school style gaming, unfortunately it really doesn't compare well with the best releases of today. Even modern slots which have a classic feel generally have better graphics than this one, and they also often offer at least one interesting feature to hold the player's interest, such as a gamble feature, a side game or at the very least a free spins bonus round.

This slot misses the boat on all of the above, and even its potentially high payouts can't persuade players to spend too long on this offering. While it may be worth a quick spin just to try it out, it's unlikely that anyone will want to spend a king's ransom on trying to scoop major winnings here – in fact it might be time to send it to the tower.
