Play Old King Cole for Free

If there was one thing, as Bob Dylan famously said, that could save the world, it has to be love, and joy that comes with it.

While spinning frantically to win big with Old King Cole, you can’t help but feel the feeling of love and joy that the age-old nursery rhyme of King Cole has stood for.

With 5 standard reels and 20 paylines loaded with umpteen number of combos that are just waiting to be unearthed and exploited, the love transcends visual boundaries and straight out ends up in your bank account – as long as you are lucky enough to make the most of your spins!

The base game couldn’t be simpler to get a hang of if you have the basic understanding of how slots play out. Twenty paylines mean that you will have to be a little bit choosy in your wagering forays. The slot machine coin values in this slot are standardized too, with the lowest denomination being 1 cent and the highest being 50 cents.

While you can start with a modest wager of 1 coin per line, the upper cap of 10 coins per line won’t let you fly too high. Supposing that you wager the highest possible 10 coins per line, you will have 200 coins, amounting to $100 or less, to work with.

That’s not a bad number to work around, but we just feel that the typical cap of $150 would have made things a touch more interesting – just in case one is to hit a really lucky streak, you know!

At the risk of stating the obvious, it must be mentioned that it all depends on how much you wager and how safe you play.

The base game has a fixed pay-out of 2,500 coins or fewer, meaning that without getting the benefits of special symbols and bonus games, the maximum you can make off your wagers in the base game itself is $1,250, which, we would agree, is a little underwhelming.

But worry not ye disciples of King Cole, for you will be duly rewarded for your fortune if wilds and scatters are to cooperate with you!

Like is the custom at Microgaming, the major wild symbol in the base game is the logo of the slot itself. It can appear on any reels and holds the usual ability of acting as an able sub for all of the regular symbols. So far so good.

But the real stuff lies ahead. Old King Cole slot features a scatter symbol – the Royal Crown of King Cole – that can help you unlock free spins between 12 and 30, depending upon the number of matching scatters.

In the scatter triggered bonus round, you can expect to receive one to three dozens of free spins that feature an extra wild – a golden disc.

What’s even more interesting is that you can trigger bonus rounds within bonus rounds twice. Potentially speaking, that’s a straight-down-the-gunbarrel chance at multiplying your winnings by 49 fold. Now, that’s what we call a truly royal homecoming!

In two words – JUST AMAZING!

Old King Cole might appear like your regular run-of-the-mill slot, but it has some serious punch within those five reels giving it true potential to be one of the best online slots. Careful manipulation of paylines can easily see you winning a sizeable fortune in a few rounds – and take our word for it, you will be raring to curtsey Old King Cole soon after!
