In his quest to ensure a male successor, King Henry murdered and divorced multiple wives and even broke ties with the Catholic Church. It seems that decision has come back to bite him, however, as his vengeful wives seek revenge from beyond the grave!
We’re sure someone at Play’n Go is giggling to themselves for coming up with this name. The theme appeals to our history nerd side, and is done quite well. Each former Queen has a distinct appearance, as well as her own ghost form!
We’re not sure if we were particularly lucky, but this slot felt quite fast paced. Special features fired frequently, which suited us just fine! There are three bonuses in total: free spins with extra Wilds, a bonus game, and a symbol transformation special feature. The maximum prize you can win is 5,000x.
Battle Royal is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot with 20 fixed paylines. You can adjust your total bet by using the large bar in the bottom middle of the screen. Players can set their wagers between $0.20 and $100 per spin.
The Spin button sits in the bottom right corner of the playing field. However, we prefer using the Autoplay function instead. Set the parameters to your liking, then lean back and watch the wins come pouring in.
You can tell a lot of love was put into this game. You have six of Henry’s queens as icons, both as their living selves and as vengeful ghosts. You also have playing card symbols: spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. An English shield and swords are Scatter while King Henry assumes the role of Wild.
When the Scatter appears on the first and fifth reel, gamblers are allowed to pick a shield. From here, you can win Long Live the King or Free Spins.
In Long Live the King, you enter the dungeon full of treasure chests. Opening a chest grants a cash prize, and has a chance of discovering the key. If you find the key, you can escape early, or you can remain to loot more chests. Be careful, as Henry’s murdered wives stalk the corridors and seek to end his reign early!
Before free spins start, you pick one of six wives. During free spins, reels transform into guillotines. Each spin will cause a guillotine to drop in a random reel and if a Queen is in it, she will be murdered.
This transforms the Queen into Ghost Wild. Anytime she reappears on the reels, it will be as Ghost Wild. If your chosen wife survives until the end, you win a cash prize. Otherwise, you have a shot at getting the Long Live the King bonus.
It’s highly volatile and has an RTP of 96.56%. Battle Royal won us over with a rather creative theme and interesting special features. If you can help King Henry avoid his vengeful wives, you will be richly rewarded! Of course, be careful that their wrath doesn’t turn on you and your balance, instead!
