Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe, A Romance is a novel by Sir Walter Scott that tells a story of Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, who due to his allegiance with Richard the Lionheart fell out with his father. The story is set in 1194, after the Crusade war while families were still waiting to hear whether their loved ones made it home. Elk Studios have managed to sum up to novel into five chapters or levels in this classic slot and offer a life changing Jackpot.

Theme

This is a 3-reel, 3-row and fixed 17-payline slot where the reels are placed between to trumpet announcers on the left and right and flashing screen on the top and bottom. The screen has two buttons visible, the betting option and the spin that will also allow the auto-play and the betting strategy choice. The flashing screen under the reels will introduce you to the novel and the plot with the battles that must take place in the bonus feature. The symbols in the game include a red and blue “7”, Bar, Crown, Cherries, Lemon, Watermelon and the Scatter Ivanhoe Flag. AS simple as it looks in graphics and designs the story behind the scenes is perfectly illustrated with the unique feature that will mount up multipliers and winnings along the way.

Betting Options, Functions and Features

Ivanhoe has 17-paylines and the betting range can be anywhere between $0.20 and $100 fitting any bankroll size. The game does not have a wild but the Scatter will replace any excitement you are seeking. Once the bonus game is triggered, by landing three Ivanhoe flag symbols on a pay-line, the player will be initially awarded five free spins and the Crown symbol will become the Wild in the first chapter, the Ambush. To advance to the next level, the Joust, you will need to accumulate at least 2500 coins in wins, once this is reached three additional spins are granted and a new coin target is set at 8,000, while your unused spins are still in play. Each chapter carries a higher coin target to reach, but it also has a larger multiplier with every progress. The final chapter, the Return of the King, carries a 6x multiplier with a maximum win of 300,000 coins. During the bonus game anytime the Scatter appears it will instantly award the player with a free re-spin.

Our Take

Managing to put a novel with such a story into a classical simple 3 x 3 playing field is absolutely genius. Yes, the graphics can use a little work, yes, the music can be more pleasant, but here we can completely overlook those aspects as the game offers a lot more in excitement and winnings.
