Royal Feast is a modern looking slot machine, whose theme is inspired by a feast at a king’s court. You have servants bringing in food, bards singing, the crown and all sorts of other characters and foods from the feast. The design is clearly a modern one, with great looking symbols. Overall, it’s one of the more impressive Microgaming slots, and I suggest you read the review as well, to find out everything that it has to offer.
The great design naturally comes from a 5 reel game, 15 lines total being placed on them. You’re going to enjoy some very unusual free spins, with scatter symbols held along the way, plus the regular wilds that you’re used to. The prizes look very good, awarding you up to $25,000.
Features of Royal Feast
As features, you’re going to find that the game has a wild symbol, a scatter and that it gives you a free spins round.
We have the Royal Feast image first, the wild symbol and the one that has beer, wine and grapes on a table. As the wild, you’re going to find that this symbol tries to assist you by helping you create combinations where otherwise they wouldn’t have been possible. The wild will have to be on the right payline, in the right position, and if that happens it will substitute for the needed symbol and you will get paid. The wild will not offer you a prize directly though, as it can’t form its own combinations.
The only other feature symbol of Royal Feast is the one that is considered a scatter. It’s the Royal Crown, which whenever it makes appearances on the reels can trigger prizes and free spins. The scatter symbol is a bit limited in this case, having to appear on reels that go from left to right, though it doesn’t have to be on certain paylines. Still, it’s a limitation that makes the scatter symbol a lot less useful than it is in other slots. You will get paid a pretty small amount when you do get the 2 to 5 scatters and on the correct reels, the value being between 2x and 15x the bet.
Free Games Feature
You will get into the free spins feature if you manage to land 2 or more scattered Crowns, going from left to right.
The reward consists of 5 spins that are free. The initial scatter symbols are held in place for the duration. If you get additional scatter wins along the way, the feature gets restarted and the new scatters are also held.
The goal is to get to five scatter symbols held in place, as that will give you the biggest win of 15x the bet, and it will be repeated for a total of 5 times (for a 75x the bet total payout).
Betting options and jackpots
The game will use coins worth anywhere between $0.01 and $0.25, which is not an impressive range. In exchange, you can use up to 20 coins for each line, so the line bet reaches $5. With 15 lines in the game, up to $75 can be wagered.
You have a top jackpot of 5,000x which the paytable advertises, and which should be able to bring you $25,000 cash in the right conditions.
Design and symbols
While the design of the game has a lot of things going for it, there are also some minuses that should be mentioned. There are a lot of playing cards used here, starting from 7 and going up to the Ace, while most games will go from 9 or 10 upwards. They are the majority on the paytable and on the reels, so you don’t get to see as much of the main characters, which are very well designed. Otherwise, the quality is visible everywhere you look, even in the themed playing cards.
Symbols: Crown (scatter, 15x bet), Royal Feast (wild), Logo (5,000x), King (2,500x), Queen (2,000x), Bard (1,500x), Waiter (1,250x), Food (1,000x), Ace (200x), King (200x), Queen (150x), Jack (150x), 10 (125x), 9 (125x), 8 (100x) and 7 (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
You will definitely enjoy the graphics, and the free spins are unusual in the way they hold and use scatter symbols, so overall I’d recommend it.
You will find Royal Feast at any online casino which chooses to use software from Microgaming, playable either for free or for real money.
