Flames roll out of bronze braziers flanking Crown Burning Power, lighting up a stone hall hung with crimson crest banners. Against all that drama, the reels themselves are filled with something cheerfully simple: shiny fruit. The title glows as if it were forged in a furnace, and a €1.00 bet from €1,000.00 is what greets you on loading.
Theme and Gameplay
Lemons, oranges, plums, cherries, grapes and watermelons all carry a thin golden glow against a near-black background, which makes them pop despite the moody hall behind. A glittering red seven leads the set, with a metallic gold edge that catches the firelight. Rainbow light bars run along both flanks of the grid, while a blocky scoreboard above displays 100,000.00. It’s a clash of classic fruit machine and medieval castle, and somehow the mix works.
Slot Features
The Crown is the star. It’s a red velvet royal crown studded with diamonds, it can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4, and it grows to fill the column it lands in. All three of those reels can go wild, as the illustration shows, with four stacked WILD tiles apiece. A Crown stands in for every symbol but the scatter. On a grid with 40 routes, a tall wild column can feed many lines at once, which is what gives the game its punch.
Monster Mega Hit, a fiery scatter emblem, also sits on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. Three together pay that €100,000.00 prize. Since Crowns can’t replace it, you need all three badges to land for real.
Sevens top the regular paytable, returning €50.00 for five, €12.00 for four and €3.00 for three at that bet. Watermelons and grapes match each other at €30.00, €8.00 and €2.00. Plums and oranges form the next tier with €12.00, €4.00 and €1.00. Finally, lemons and cherries pay €6.00, €2.00 and €1.00.
RTP and Win Potential
A return of 96.00% is what the maths side offers. Looking at the paytable, the regular prizes are modest, so the expanding wild is clearly meant to do the work by stacking several line wins together. Each line collects its single largest result, though separate lines can each contribute.
My Thoughts On This Slot
I enjoy how much the Crown changes a screen. One wild reel transforms a plain fruit layout into something worth studying, and four rows give it more room than a three-row game. My complaint is that the concept stops there. A respin or free games mode would have given those wilds somewhere to build, and bonus round fans will come away empty-handed on that front.
