The look of play here is slightly different from the original Reel King slot game; the 5×3 play grid is set inside a simple gold frame with a blue and white background. The pay lines are not displayed on either side of the grid as they are in the original Reel King; however, players can find out more about them from the menu function.
The Reel King Mega logo is above the play grid in the same colour scheme as other Reel King titles over a purple ribbon.
Behind the reels, there’s a mythical-looking countryside castle scene with large, aged trees and mountains far off in the background.
Layered over the backdrop are piles of bright gold coins across the bottom of the screen, with coins falling from above the screen adding to the pile. Let’s hope you get your paws on some of those!
In the top-left corner of the screen, you can see your balance and the audio settings. The main menu functions are positioned in the top right.
The symbols in play will be familiar if you have ever had a spin on the original Reel King slot with classic card and fruit machine symbols in play and lucky 7s during the bonus mini reels. All good, no need to change a winning formula!
Reel King Mega Gameplay
Reel King Mega is optimised for desktops and mobiles.
The base game plays off a five-reel, three-row grid on which combinations of between three and five of the same symbols reward payouts.
The lower value symbols in play are the Plum and Cherry, which reward 2x the stake for five across a pay line. Next are the ten and J symbols, which pay a higher 3x the stake maximum.
The Q symbol pays out 5x the stake on offer when five of these drop-in across a pay line, followed by the K that pays out up to 10x the stake, and finally, the Pot of Gold rewards up to 25x the stake for five.
There are no bonus symbols in play here. That is not to say that there aren’t bonus features that you can trigger. More on that below.
Bonus Features
One of the features you should look out for is the King’s Crown Bonus which is randomly triggered at any point in the base game. During this feature, the crown from the game’s logo will hop onto the play grid with any symbols it lands on, turning Wild.
The King Crown bonus turns a random number of symbols Wild making it easier to create a winning combination across pay-lines in the grid.
There isn’t a standard Free Spin feature in Reel King Mega. However, they have replaced this with a spin of miniature reels with up to 500x the stake payouts on offer.
In each spin, reels can turn to gold, and to access this feature, you will need all five reels to turn gold simultaneously. This will bring mini-reels into play, a maximum of one per reel of the main play grid and between one and five landing altogether.
The mini-reels contain Lucky 7s (either red, yellow or blue), which can reward with solid pay-outs, especially for matching coloured 7s across a mini-reel.
You can trigger the entry-level 2x the stake return for mixed colours 7s across a mini play grid. Combinations of the coloured 7s increase in value from the blue to yellow to red seven symbols with up to 25x the stake available for landing three red 7s.
Summary
Red Tiger Gaming has done the popular Reel King Mega slot justice with this follow-up that has a unique setting and bonus features yet with all of the classic symbols in play. The Random Wilds are a nice touch in the Kings Crown feature, and then there’s the mini-reels bonus.
Red Tiger Gaming has added its stamp on this classic game and come up trumps, which is why this is such a hugely popular game here at Wombat Casino.
Wombat Score: 5/5
