Playtech is a software developer that offers a variety of slot machines delivering progressive jackpots. At the moment of writing this article, their two most popular slot series are Age of the Gods and DC Comics, where players can trigger life-changing networked jackpots in a single spin. In October 2019, they came up with another game suite offering a unique reward system designed to boost player engagement. It is called Kingdoms Rise and, besides progressive slots, it provides in-game tokens that take the gameplay to the next level.

Introduction to Kingdoms Rise Slots

The Kingdoms Rise series draws inspiration from mythology and fantasy, taking players to different landscapes to score some massive wins. It consists of four titles, all of them equipped with the Kingdoms Rise Features Shop. That’s where players can unlock extra features which can additionally boost their winning chances. It is all about collecting in-game tokens you can redeem at the shop to buy different bonus features. What’s great about this feature is that it works across all titles, meaning that you can earn tokens while playing one game and use them in another.

Another feature shared by all the games is an innovative in-game map that encourages players to explore the entire Kingdoms Rise universe. When you play the first game in the series, you will earn 50 Game Tokens (GTs) and 50 Pending Game Tokens (PGTs). As you play the game, you will receive more tokens at no extra cost. These tokens can be used to unlock special features and bonus rounds from the Kingdom Rise Features shop. Each game has its own specific bonus features you can purchase.

Whenever you earn two GTs, you also get a PGT. PGTs will be added to your account at the operator’s discretion and with no wagering requirements. According to Playtech, they have developed an industry-first concept with a token system that gives players an opportunity to decide what feature they will play, when they will play it and in which game. On top of it all, there are three networked jackpots – Daily, Capped and a Progressive – up for grabs. Let’s learn more about specific games.

Guardians of the Abyss

This is a 5-reel, 25-payline slot that takes you deep underwater where you will join three guardians – Odeon, Akali and Jax. Each of them has their own bonus feature and to trigger it you need 3 or more Shell Scatters on the reels. The Odeon feature adds a random number of Odeon symbols to the reels, Akali adds a random number of Wilds to the reels while Jax adds a random multiplier to Wilds that hit the reels.

In the Kingdoms Rise Features Shop, you can purchase the Wild Vortex Respins feature that can add up to 3 extra Wilds to all the reels except for the reel 1. You will get respins as long as Wilds are on the reels. On each respin, Wilds move one position towards the vortex until they get sucked inside and removed from the grid.

Sands of Fury

This time, Playtech takes you to a desert city on 5 reels and 20 paylines where a female and male warrior, sorcerer, reptile and Gold Queen will be responsible for high payouts. All characters can also assume the role of Wild to trigger the Wild Fury feature. When this happens, you will see a feature position above the reels reserved for all of them. When character Wild hits the reel below the respective feature position, all its instances go sticky, and one of the features unlocks. The feature can lock triggering Wild keeping the respective reel spinning, turn all character symbols Wild for the next spin, award 5 respins with all character Wilds sticky or simply end.

As for the shop, you will need 500 tokens to buy the Wild Beast Respins feature with a beast appearing on the screen. They move right to left and add sticky character Wilds at random positions. The number of character Wilds depends on how much tokens you spend. There is also the Queen’s Ritual Bonus feature where you can win cash prizes and multipliers.

Forbidden Forest

Now, we have a 5-reel slot offering 576 ways to win due to three middle reels featuring 4 positions. You will have to enter a mystical forest populated by panthers and bears and join three matriarchal warriors to win prizes. Look out for the green crystal featuring a tree as it is Wild that will complete your wins. Another special symbol to keep an eye on it Owl Mask Scatter awarding 2, 4 or 12 respins. During the feature, Scatters turn into Roaming Wilds moving across the reels on each respin. There is also the feather symbol landing on the reel 3 and awarding extra respins.

In the Kingdoms Rise shop, you can purchase The Night Owl feature and get respins with stacked Scatters 2 and 3 symbols high. These Scatters acting as Wilds move across the reels to help you create more winning combos.

Reign of Ice

Last but not least, we have a 5-reel, 25-payline slot set in an icy environment. Meet the Barbarian and Valkyrie as you will have to rely on them to endure harsh conditions and rip some prizes. Collect matching gemstones and weapons as well as Ice Barbarian and Ice Valkyrie icons to get paid. The logo of the game is Wild that appears on the three central reels only. Another special symbol is Hammer Wild landing on the reels 2 only to replace all symbols. When Hammer Wild and Ice Barbarian or Ice Valkyrie appears at the same time on the reels, the hammer is released from ice and added to the multiplier bar on the top of the reels. Each hammer can award a 1x, 2, 3x and 5x multiplier. The Hammer Respins feature adds Wilds to the three central reels. They will freeze on the reels until Hammer Wild hits the reel 2. It will unfreeze all regular wilds, and the leftmost hammer from the bar turns into Multiplier Wild.

In the Kingdoms Rise shop, you can buy Hammer Respins, Barbarian Respins or Valkyrie Respins. When it comes to Barbarian and Valkyrie Respins, you will see only these two symbols on the reels activating the multiplier meter and a frozen 5x multiplier. Ice Valkyrie symbols will be locked in their positions and award cash bonuses as well.
