Kingdom of Fortune Slot
Ready to experience the riches of a king? Then meet the wacky royal family as they welcome players from around the world at their fortified castle on the Kingdom of Fortune slot. Beat your competition with two random features, multiplier wilds and a Royal Streak in free spins to take home the grand prize of 5,000x your bet. Are you the bravest and fastest of them all?
UK-based game studio Blueprint Gaming, a subsidiary of Germany’s Gauselmann Group and the sister company of Merkur Gaming, has spoiled us with some truly exciting slots since 2001. After the first years of providing slot machines for land-based casinos, the team redirected its focus on online and mobile gaming. Video slots such as TED, Genie Jackpots and Diamond Mine can be found among the slot favorites of many players, and all have an abundance of random and bonus features. Kingdom of Fortune is a simpler affair, but it scores points with its win multipliers and sky-high win potential.
The Royal Realm
Reel warriors arriving in the Kingdom of Fortune will be greeted by a smiling king together with his queen and the young prince. Two heavily fortified castles can be seen in the background while a typical flute soundtrack pleases our ears. Will you conquer the stone-walled marvel of medieval architecture, or will it be the weak wooden structure at the top of the hill? The game window sits in front of the two castles and holds for itself some marvels of slot symbol design.
Pay symbols start at the low end with a royal suit of 9s to As which can appear semi-stacked. On the medium level are four distinct knight shields. A golden gauntlet is the wild and top symbol, substituting for all symbols except scatters. It also acts a cumulative multiplier on a win. The scatter is a golden crown with the word “Bonus” across it.
The Kingdom’s Stats and Numbers
The royal reel contest will happen on a video slot with five reels, three rows and 20 fixed paylines. The knights can bet anything from a meagre 0.20 coins to a huge 500 coins. The worthiest spinners will be royally rewarded with 4x to 200x their bet for a single five-of-a-kind of the low- and medium-paying symbols. Wild symbols in a winning combo will apply win multipliers of up to x16, potentially raising the payout for a five-of-a-kind to range from 64x to 3,200x your bet.
The king has granted this medium-variance game an opulent RTP of 95.96%. The slot’s reels are in the latest HTML5 format, and the knights will be able to compete from their desktop and mobile devices across all OS platforms.
The Royal Wild Multiplier
The wild symbol not only substitutes for all pay symbols, but it also acts as a cumulative win multiplier. Having one wild in a winning combo will multiply the win by x2. Hitting two will see that grow to x4, while three wilds take it to x8. Four wilds further increase the multiplier to x16. Having five wilds in a row on a payline will award the maximum multiplier of x25,000 – meaning a win of 5,000x the stake.
Random Fortune Features
As already mentioned, Kingdom of Fortune looks rather simple compared to other slots from Blueprint Gaming. Giving it a high maximum win will reduce the opportunity to implement many bonus features. Nevertheless, players can look forward to two random features in their quest for vast fortunes.
All Hail the King can be randomly triggered on any spin in the base game. More bonus symbols are added to the reels to increase the odds of bonus symbols stopping in view. War of the Wilds is also randomly activated, but this will add a random number of wild symbols to the reels – providing more potential for big or mega wins.
The Royal Streak in Free Spins
The free spins feature is awarded for a minimum of three scatters on the reels in one spin. Any winning combo on any of the 10 free spins will start the Royal Streak, where all winning symbols including wild multipliers are locked in place and a respin is awarded. Any further symbols landing in view on the respin will be locked as well, and another respin starts until no further matching symbols appear in view. Pays are then evaluated, and the total win is awarded for the spin. The sticky symbols are subsequently unlocked for the next spin.
More Regal Reels
Royalty and kingdoms from all walks of life have been used for countless online and offline slots. There is plenty of choice for everyone wanting to stay in royal company or simply wishing to fight for honor and riches. A good choice is 3 Kingdoms – Battle of Red Cliffs from Pragmatic Play, while the bravest of the knights will compete for the crown in Game of Thrones from Microgaming.
A Royal Verdict
Do not be fooled by the simple appearance when you load Kingdom of Fortune. The game clearly trends towards high volatility with top wins of 3,200x and 5,000x your bet. Plus, the cumulative win multiplier will see modest wins growing instantly to mega wins. It is also fun to play – as most Blueprint Gaming slots are – and the features hit frequently enough to avoid any long period of boredom. My favorite highlight from this slot must be the Royal Streak feature during the free spins, when the screen fills up with locked symbols and wilds. Are you brave enough to give it a spin?
