King of Macedonia

About King of Macedonia

IGT is a game developer headquartered in London but they also have offices in more locations around the world, including Las Vegas, Rome and Providence in the US State of Rhode Island. They have been active in the industry since 1990 and have during that time created everything from jackpot games and slots to table games. They also run their own Sportsbook. As developers, they are not a household name in the casino industry in the same way as NetEnt or Microgaming but still has some famous titles under its belt, including Bewitched, Breaking Bad (which is inspired by the popular tv series) and Double Diamond. With King of Macedonia, IGT has created a classic video slot that offers all the elements we players are looking for in an entertaining game. You have a sunny theme, well-made animations, and exciting bonus features.

Bets and paylines

King of Macedonia is made up of a playing field consisting of five reels on five rows and you have 40 paylines at your disposal. This is a relatively normal setup and something that you will find in more of IGT's slots. The minimum bet you can make is 0.8 euros and at most you can bet 1,600 euros, which means that it is a game that suits both the cautious beginner who keeps his money tight and the brave high roller who likes to take risks. You choose which level you want to bet on and can set and change your bets at any time during the game. At most, you can win 960,000 coins, which we have to admit is a really good reward.

In addition to this is the King of Macedonia RTP of 96.10 % and the slot has a volatility that can be counted as medium. A volatility that is at a medium level means that you will get a win on the reels relatively frequently but the winnings you get will be a little less. If you want to know more about the rules of the game, you will find in the lower left corner of the playing field a small button with the text ”game rules”, here you can read in more detail how all functions and game lines work. Another big plus of the slot is that it is compatible with all devices, this means that you can play via computer, mobile and tablet and thus take the game with you everywhere and enjoy a few spins – as long as you have an internet connection that is.

Symbols

This is a slot that takes place in ancient Macedonia, from the year 359 BC, and it is visible among the symbols on the playing field. When it comes to the graphics and animations, IGT has placed great emphasis on creating believable symbols that fit well with the theme. Among other things, you will be able to see two beautiful ceramic urns spinning past on the reels, along with, among other things, a golden jewelry box, a paragraph scroll, a harp, a helmet, a picture of Philip II and a picture of his wife – Queen Olympia. Even the playing field itself is beautifully equipped and on the sides of the spinning reels you will see two embedded swords, which also match the theme and the era in which the game takes place.

It is the slightly simpler symbols that represent a helmet, a paragraph reel, a harp and the two ceramic urns that pay the lowest if they land in a winning combination on the playing field. The symbols that are worth the most and will therefore give the highest payout if you are lucky enough to form a winning combination are a magnificent horse in full swing and Philip's beautiful wife Olympia. There is also a scatter symbol that in this slot takes the form of a golden shield. Landing this symbol on the reels in a winning combination will give you a random multiplier that can amount to up to 10x your stake . Of course, there is also a wild symbol and in King of Macedonia it is none other than the king himself. Something else would have been strange.

Bonus features

When you are lucky enough to land a winning line with the wild symbol, it will substitute for all symbols except the scatter-in true slot spirit. Philip as the wild symbol is extra large, a so-called gigantic wild, and takes up two lines. This is a visual treat that raises the overall rating of the game. Before the wild symbols land on the reel in a winning combination, the activity on the reels will also slow down and go into slow motion, a cool way to alert the player that a win is on the way. Good to know is also that the wild symbol only lands on reels two and four. However, landing a wild symbol and a scatter symbol on the reels at the same time will, as we mentioned earlier, trigger a random multiplier. Here you can have your bet multiplied within the span of 2x, 3x, 5x or up to 10x. Something to say the least appreciated!

One of the main attractions of the King of Macedonia is free spins bonus features . This is triggered when the scatter symbol, which you now know is in the form of a shield, lands on reel one. However, in order for the feature to be triggered, a wild must also land on reels two or four. If this happens, you will immediately be awarded 8 free spins. The Wild symbol of Philip will then remain in place for the next spin, potentially leading to another win! Unfortunately, this slot has no re-spins feature so you can only win 8 free spins at a time once you have triggered the free spins bonus feature. To get these bonus features, you may have to spin a few times and go through some so-called ”dead spins” before it rattles on the reels.

Summary

King of Macedonia from IGT is a beautiful visual game in which it is noticeable that time has been spent on both appearance and functions. An added plus is, among other things, the gigantic wilds feature that creates a first-class visual presentation and entertains us players. They also offer potential big wins in combination with the scatter symbol, which of course we are not sorry about. Despite the fact that IGT as a game manufacturer is not one of the biggest names for us New Zealandr, there are several games in their portfolio that deserve an honest chance. Among other things, several jackpot variants where you have the chance to win the really big prizes! When it comes to the particular slot in question, it is among other things the free spins feature and the historical context that attracts. This game also comes with an RTP that ranges to 96.10 %.

King of Macedonia can be found at the online casinos that offer games from IGT – for example CasinoEuro and Genting Casino. A fun curiosity about the slot is that it is actually the successor to another gaming favorite from IGT – King of Atlantis. However, King of Macedonia is a must-play if you haven't done so yet. All in all, we like this slot and give it a well-approved rating, although it may seem a bit simple in its design. However, if you want to take a trip back in time to meet an impressive$igsherre and see if you are lucky enough to win both free spins and the Big Coin win, King of Macedonia is the place to play!
