Golden Royals

Royals are something that are more common in the world of gambling games than in the real world, just look at playing cards. Luckily, Booming Games has decided to abandon the usual classic symbols and instead gone with portrait mode. A great choice, especially given the quality of the graphics. Read more below to find out if the prizes are worthy enough.

Theme

So the theme is quite straightforward. The music is bombastic, the graphics are a collection of royal characters and the wins might be just big enough to make you afford a crown of your own. The quality is surprisingly good, especially if you are used to other games with the same theme such as Royal Cash or King’s Treasure. The game is sorely lacking in animations though.

Betting Options and Functions

The thirty paylines are all locked, as seems to be the case with most slots these days. Betting goes the way of the usual setup, with the minimum being 0.01 coins per line, and maximum being beyond what most people would feel comfortable playing with. The reels are arranged in the usual fashion of five times three.

The symbols must follow the paylines from left to right, and a minimum of three matching ones are needed to claim a prize. There is also the Corner Kings feature, which means that if three or four of the corners have a king in them you are going to land a prize. Nothing too spectacular, but enough for you to appreciate the royalty. The basic prizes are a bit on the low side, but this is compensated by them lining up often enough to keep the game interesting.

Features

Scatters come as double symbols, and three of them will activate the free spins. They also pay out up to three times your total bet. Five, ten, or fifteen free spins are awarded by three, four, or five scatters. During the free spins feature further scatters, with the special +1 icon, will grant extra spins.

During the free spins, you can land a special wild multiplier, which goes as high as seven times the original wins. They affect every and each payline combination they take part in. Worth noting that the Corner Kings feature is not activated by wilds, instead you need the original characters in each position to grab the extra prizes.

Our Take

This game was definitely a proper surprise to me, given that most other games with this theme are simple ports from age-old machines found in brick-and-mortar casinos. It is not the best slot out there but it does give enough surprise to warrant a spin or two with real money. Simply choose a bonus to go with and get ready to score big wins!
