Play Ivanhoe for Free

If you’re not familiar with the story of Ivanhoe then prepare to be for a rip-roaring adventure of medieval proportions. The historical novel was published by Sir Walter Scott in 1820 but the narrative takes place well before then in 1194, following the exploits of Sir Wilfred Ivanhoe in a time of upheaval across the English kingdom. Also making an appearance in the tale are some familiar characters from history, legend and folklore, such as Robin Hood and King Richard the Lionheart.

The story of Ivanhoe is still debated for its historical accuracy with many literary critics claiming that the elements of romance and chivalry detract from the realism of the story. We can safely confirm that this free Ivanhoe slot machine is far from being an accurate historical source either with its retro fruit machine design that features cherries, lemons and watermelons as well as some BAR icons and lucky 7 symbols.

Whilst this 3-reel slot might have the appearance of a retro gambling game, it actually has some unique tricks up its sleeve. First of all, players should know that there is a total of 17 paylines across the reels and - with a medium volatility level - the wins should come at a decent rate of knots. The biggest base game win is a 3,000x coin multiplier for three red 7s on a payline.

That’s not the only strange thing about this slot game, because players will find that they have more options than usual when it comes to placing their wagers thanks to the unique ‘Betting Strategies’ menu. This essentially gives players the option to select automatic bet level modifiers such as the ‘Optimizer’ that will bet according to a chosen percentage of your overall balance. There is also a ‘Leveller’ option that will raise the bet by 2 levels after 5 consecutive losses while the ‘Booster’ will raise the bet 1 level after a loss before remaining the same after 4 consecutive losses. The ‘Jumper’ on the other hand will raise the bet by 1 level after a winning spin but will plateau after 4 consecutive wins. Alternatively, you can keep it nice and simple with some traditional bets from 0.20 credits to 100.00 credits.

You can play the free Ivan Hoe slots for fun or you can play for real money. Either way, we are sure that you will come across some interesting spinning action thanks to the unconventional nature of this retro slot. Things get even more intriguing when you take into account the fact that the slot has some fun bonus features, beginning with a wild crown symbol that will replace all icons except for the stacked bonus banner. Three bonus banners across the reels will activate the slot’s bonus round of free spins during which an additional scatter will add an additional free spins to the tally. Punters can also advance through different bonus game levels as they win more bonus money, offering extra free spins with all wins multiplied up to 6x and a grand jackpot of 300,000 coins.

Nothing beats a slot machine which takes you on a legendary quest for prizes.  You can enjoy more free online slots based on old English folklore with slots such as King Arthur by Microgaming, Robin Hood: Prince of Tweets by NextGen and Jack and the Beanstalk by NetEnt. You can even relive one of the first stories ever told in the (old) English language with Beowulf by Quickspin.

Tales of heroism and chivalry don’t get more epic than Ivanhoe and retro 3-reel slot machines don’t get much more epic than this game from Elk Studios. The medium volatility slot doesn’t only give players the chance to win up to 300,000 coins in the bonus game but it also brings in a new element of betting strategies for spinners to think about. The slot has full cross-platform compatibility too, meaning that you can play on your iPhone, iPad or Android device.
