It's not easy being a king, but it can be very rewarding as this Big Time Gaming's release proves it. Titled Kingmaker, this 5-reel video slot will give players the chance to rule their kingdom, in a Medieval-themed package with lots of excitement, potentially huge prizes, high volatility and Megaways game engine. Playable from $0.20, this June 2019 game offers a wide variety of in-game features, including Wilds, Scatters, Gem Multipliers and a Free Spins bonus round, with top prizes going all the way up to 40,000x the wager!

Once the game starts, players will have the chance to enjoy the game's beautiful graphics, with the reels set against a medieval castle and snow-capped mountains. Big Time Gaming's release boasts an excellent soundtrack that further adds to the overall excitement. Kingmaker comes with a 5-reel layout, while up to 7 spins can appear on a reel in a spin, with all winning combinations starting from the leftmost reel and pay from left to right on consecutive reels. Since the slot utilizes the Megaways engine, there are 16,807 different ways to win. Wagering starts at $0.20, while the maximum stake can't exceed $20 per spin.

As we've already mentioned, Kingmaker is a well-designed game, while its Medieval-theme influenced the design of the symbols on the reels. In addition to the usual set of low-paying Royals, players will encounter 4 different brightly-coloured gemstones. The purple dragon is the highest-paying of the regular symbols, paying 10 times your stake for a winning combination of 5 symbols. It's also the only symbol awarding payouts for 2 of a kind next to each other. The Wild symbol replaces for all others bar Scatter, which is responsible for triggering the Free Spins bonus round when at least 3 appear on the grid.

The Megaways game engine brings up to 16,807 different ways to win, while the number of symbols that can appear on the reels constantly changes. The biggest prize is awarded when all 7 symbols land each of the reels.

The number of spins awarded when the Bonus Round is triggered can go up to 20, for all 5 on the grid, with Scatter symbols awarding nice payouts on their own – up to 250x the triggering stake. Players will further benefit during this feature thanks to the Gem Multiplier, whose value is increased whenever 5 symbols form a winning combination.

Playable across all platforms, Kingmaker is a fast-paced game, with appealing graphics and entertaining playing experience. Although rather simple for a Megaways game, it does offer the chance to claim staggering prizes, especially thanks to the Gem Multipliers, which further add to the excitement, in both the Main Game and the Free Spins round. Penny punters should be careful when playing this game, because they may end up losing their money too quickly, although payouts of up to 40,000x the wager may sound very tantalizing.
