About Ivanhoe Castle

The film Ivanhoe, which incidentally is based on Sir Walter Scott's novel of the same name, is a knightly epic that has everything a really good story on the theme of the middle ages should have. Here, bloody battles, daring heroic deeds, complicated love and a constant hunger for power are mixed in a very entertaining combination. It's no wonder that the 1982 film has become a classic. If you missed it, just turn on the TV on new year's day.

The game has a very unique design. Firstly, we should say that the reels are only three in number and that only three positions can fit in the game window. Secondly, the game window is compressed on the center of the screen. The background, which takes up a lot of space, depicts two trumpeters honking a joust.

Third (the most delicious detail) is that there are screens in dot matrix - style above and below the wheels. Here, messages and graphics roll by in a style that really brings to mind the pinball games of yesteryear!

Overall, Ivanhoe slot from ELK Studios is considered to be clearly retro. The theme couldn't be more retro and the design feels like taken from the arcade halls of the 80s.

Stakes and winnings

Ivanhoe has a three-reel format and 17 ways to win. The game is tailored for mobiles and tablets, but it can of course be played on the computer as well.

It is always a picnic to play on slot machines from ELK Studios and Ivanhoe is certainly no exception. The paylines are fixed and you don't have to worry about either coin values or bet levels. When you click on the coin symbol on the screen, you will be taken to a screen where you choose between twelve fixed bets, this from 2$ to 1000$.

300,000 coins is the maximum win in Ivanhoe slot. What is the recipe for such a profit, you might think? Well, what you should do is get full screen with 7s on the last level of the free spins round. Then you just win 300,000 coins. Ivanhoe'S RTP is 96.30% and volatility is sky-high (9 out of 10 on ELK studio's own scale).

Symbols

If you think you'll get to see Ivanhoe, Rickard the Lionheart or any of the other characters as symbols on the reels, we're sorry to disappoint you. ELK Studios has made the game more neutral and instead focuses on classic slot symbols. This allows you to find 7s (two different types), bar symbols, melons, lemons and cherries on the reels.

The symbol representing red 7s definitely pays the best. Any combination of three such icons in succession will give you no less than 3000 coins in profit, which is the same as 30 times the bet.

Functions

At first glance, it may seem that Ivanhoe is chemically clean from special features. There is not much gossip about the fact that there are a lot of goodies, but Ivanhoe actually offers an impressive depth.

Wilds

The first feature you encounter is guaranteed to be the game's Joker feature. The symbol is in the form of a royal crown. It doesn't show up too often, but since there are 17 ways to win over just three reels, it can do a lot of good.

Bonus round

The bonus round in Ivanhoe is one of the most special you will ever meet. Here you can follow Ivanhoe on a journey through a total of five levels. Each new level brings a bit of extra history to the game and of course you also get the chance to win progressively bigger prizes.

You activate the bonus round by getting three bonus symbols on one of the paylines. When that happens, you first get to play the "Ambush" level. You then play 5 free spins with a multiplier of 2x. if you rattle together at least 2500 coins, you get to move on to the next level, ”the Joust”. You then get three additional spins and you get to play them with a multiplier of 3x. then, in turn, follow the below levels.

Robin's Rescue = 3 extra spins with 4X multiplier (20,000 coins required for ”level-up”)
The Joust part two = 3 extra spins with 5x multiplier (81,000 for level-up)
Return of the King = 3 extra spins with 6x on all wins (max win of 300,000 coins).

There are two more things to note. The first is that you can save spins between levels. You might reach over 2500 coins in total win in just three spins on the Ambush level. The remaining two spins are then moved to the next level. The second is that each additional bonus symbol gives an extra free spin.

Summary

If you're looking for something completely new in online slots, Ivanhoe is a title you should really take a closer look at. A more unique slot to both theme, design and features is very hard to find. We must pay tribute to ELK Studios for having really dared to stand out from the crowd. By the way, we can add that the game studio also has another, similar slot. It's about Route 77.

However, a slot must of course offer more than innovation to be a hit. Overall, we think that the progressive bonus round gives a lovely added value to the game. However, you should be aware that it is a big challenge to get through the first steps to approach the really big wins. However, to say that the bonus round is not exciting is a lie!
