Rising Royals

There are a lot of negative things we can say about the French monarchy. But one thing is undeniable; they had style! The aesthetic of these 18th century upper classes radiates in Microgaming and Just For The Win’s latest slot! But while they’re happy to show their splendour, the nobles aren’t keen on sharing it with the players of this game.
This release is played on a 5×3 board with 20 fixed paylines. It has two special features: a re-spin with locked symbols and an icon upgrade bonus. These two special features work together to make a rather engaging bonus! It’s a shame the payouts don’t match the thrill of playing Rising Royals.

It’s not the best looking slot we’ve ever played. But we’d be lying if we said it looked bad. The effect of flower petals flying across the screen looks really cool. It’s a shame you can’t see it unless you idle. The view of a sprawling French palace in the background is also fantastic fuel for the imagination. Excellent work, Just for the Win!

You play this game on a five reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. To win, gamblers must collect three or more identical icons in adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel. All winning combinations must follow one of the currently active paylines, or else they won’t be awarded to the player.

Choosing your total bet is simplified in this Microgaming release. Rather than having to wrestle with coin values, you can just select your total bet outright. To do this, click the coin button, and scroll through all available wagers. You can stake between $0.10 and $250 on each spin.

Rising Royals has a medium variance, and an RTP of 96.01%, which is slightly above the current industry standard. You will receive plenty of small wins, with an occasional spike here and there. That said, don’t expect anything substantial from this slot. It cannot exceed its jackpot; a boring 300x prize.

The nobles are very obviously carrying the show as far as symbol designs go. Other icons include the game’s logo, and playing card royals. Not very strong competition for the esteemed scions of society!

If you land a win with any noble or logo symbol, you will get a re-spin. During this re-spin, winning icons are locked in place. If you expand your win by getting additional symbols, another re-spin is played. You can also get more re-spins by completing a brand new winning combination! Re-spins continue until no new icons can appear on the board.

With each consecutive win during re-spin, your meter fills. When it fills completely, all locked symbols upgrade to the next more valuable version from the paytable. This only works if the locked icon isn’t already the highest value symbol.
