Royal Swan

If it’s something you can be sure of with Ainsworth, is that their slots are always going to be aimed at land-based casinos first. Sure enough, they’ll run on any device from desktops to mobile phones, or even your toaster if it has an internet connection and a browser, but the style is unmistakable and made for terminals first.

The style extends from graphics and style to paylines and bonuses too. But there are a few modifiers at work that you might not expect. Let’s take a look at what Royal Swan has to offer.

Theme and Symbols

The serene world of sounds fills the air, bringing an update to the norm that we are used to. Makes you feel like a princess, and that theme of royalty carries on with the symbols, whether that is playing card ranks with a bit of style, or the swans, the buildings and the characters. Winning combinations erupt into animations, which are often simple but still entertaining.

Betting Options and Functions

Somehow Ainsworth has managed to fit 50 paylines on a three symbol five setup of five reels. It’s not the highest possible number, and you can get higher with systems like ways to win...but it’s still a pretty rare sight.

The bets start pretty high, though you can lower them a bit by selecting fewer paylines. Still, you need a bit of a bankroll to keep the spins going.

The payouts are pretty good luckily, with the top win being 100x your total bet. The smaller wins are of course just a tenth of your total bet, but this is pretty normal with slots of this variance.

Features

Three scatters will award ten bonus spins. These aren’t just free spins, instead coming with a random feature that replaces symbols with wilds. Your luck determines what you get here, but if you take it to the extremes, you can get up to half of the game’s symbols replaced with wilds on four of the five reels. Two scatters will result in three more bonus spins.

On top of the reels you’ll find four prizes from mini to major, which at first you might think are jackpots...and they sort of are. However, the way they are awarded is by landing five symbol combinations, with a quad shot bonus modifier also present. This can end up paying out thousands on top of your normal wins.

Our Take

Most of the action is reserved for the bonus spins. This is where the fifty paylines really shine, as the wilds fill the reels spins after spin. The normal spins can lead to substantial payouts too, but it’s clear that you might have to bank for a bit more spins in this Ainsworth game. Worth trying in demo mode first!
