The Ancients of Korea RTP is 95.94% which is ever so slightly below average. The hit frequency rate is 18.8% so on average, you can expect to land a winner just under every 5 spins.

The variance here is north of medium. I’d put the volatility at around 7 out of 10.  The most you can win from a single spin in Ancients of Korea is 3,337 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio and Design Features – head to the hills of historical Korea

As you might expect given its name, there’s a very traditional feel to the design in the Ancients of Korea slot. The imagery here looks like it could come from a historical movie.

Don’t expect to hear any K-Pop here. The soundtrack is as classical as the visuals and is an ideal match for a slot called Ancients of Korea. It’s all rather unusual but works well.

With hills, a traditional temple-style building and orange skies in the background, the reels here are made up of a collection of objects and higher paying character symbols. They include a book and temple building, a crown and a gold pot and a ship and a map of Korea. They’re joined by 5 character symbols in traditional dress. The most rewarding is the hero warrior who awards 7.5 x stake if you land 6 in combination.

There’s also a wild that can land anywhere apart from reel 1 and substitute for all the standard symbols. Finally, there’s a gold coin scatter symbol.

You can join the warriors and princes in Ancients of Korea whether you’re playing on a desktop, tablet or mobile device. This is because iSoftBet creates all their slots using HTML5 technology.

Ancients of Korea Bonus Features

The setting in Ancients of Korea might be rather unusual but the sole bonus feature is familiar. Top of the bill is the free spins round. There are a couple of embellishments that can make this round well worth hitting though.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature in Ancients of Korea is triggered in the usual manner by landing 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. It will take approximately 139 spins to trigger the feature. Here’s what you’ll begin with:

So far, so standard. Land a winning combination that includes a wild and that wild will transform into 2x or 3x wild and behave as if 2 or 3 wilds are on that reel. Effectively, these wilds become 2x and 3x multiplier wilds and give you a decent payout boost.

The other main tweak to the free spins is that the most rewarding character symbol pays scatter style. You don’t need to land this character symbol on adjacent reels to form a winner. For example, in the base game, landing the hero on reels 1, 3, 4 and 5 would not result in a winner being created. Land the exact same combination during the free spins and it would results in a 4-symbol, winner.

Retriggers are possible too. Landing 2 scatters adds another 5 free spins to your total. Land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters for a full retrigger and another round of 8, 15, 20 or 50 free spins. This means up to 100 free spins in total.

Ancients of Korea Review Summary – an Asian trek with many familiar elements

The setting might be somewhat off the beaten track for a game but the classic features on offer in the Ancients of Korea slot are very familiar. Free spins with wild extras are a solid combination, even if they’re not massively original.

Visually, this is a slot that is full of flair. It’s a little unusual certainly, given the theme but it comes together very nicely. If you like the Asian theme but fancy a break from the usual Chinese and Japanese adventures, Ancients of Korea is worth a closer look.

Saying that, it’s not iSoftBet’s best slot by any stretch of the imagination. I would suggest Royale with Cheese Megaways which has a 50s American diner theme and offers a unique Build a Burger feature where you pick from items of the menu for the free spins.
