Theme – return to the king’s ominous halls

With a Norse mythology theme, the Reign of the Mountain King slot sees you return to the mountain king’s ominous halls. Inspired by Edvard Grieg’s ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ orchestral piece, it’s quite similar graphically to its predecessor.

Set inside a typical Norwegian castle, the soundtrack is serious and thumping. Symbols include A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals as well as axes, shields, trolls and princesses. The princess is the highest paying symbol giving you 4, 8 or 20 x your total stake for 3, 4 or 5 across a payline.

Then you have the Mountain King wild symbol which also pays up to 20 x stake. Substituting for all symbols, 3 wilds on the 3 middle reels will trigger respins (more details below). There is no scatter or bonus symbol. Here’s a list of all symbols you’ll encounter:

Reign of the Mountain King Bonus Features

Reign of the Mountain King comes with 1 bonus feature. It focuses on respins where multipliers come into play and rise up to 512x.

Mountain King Respins feature

The Mountain King Respins feature is triggered when any 3 wild symbols appear on the 3 middle reels (reels 2, 3 and 4). If there is only 1 wild symbol on the reels and it’s part of a 4 or 5 of a kind win, the wild might be given a multiplier value.

A respin then follows with the wilds locking in position. Look out for gem symbols as collecting 3 will increase the wild multipliers up to 2x, 3x, 5x and 8x. If a new wild appears on the 3 middle reels during the respin, it locks in position and displays a multiplier as shown on the gem trail. Wilds can appear on reels 1 and 5 but will not lock or have a multiplier.

The respins continue until no new wild or gem symbols appear on the reels or when the maximum 512x multiplier is reached. To achieve the maximum 512x multiplier, you will need 3 8x multipliers on the reels (8 x 8 x 8 = 512).

Reign of the Mountain King Review Summary – wilds key to success

The Reign of the Mountain King slot is a simpler game that its predecessor. With no free spins, it focuses on the respins where the key to big wins is by collecting gem symbols.

With wilds beginning with a 1x multiplier, collecting gems will see the multiplier value increase up to 8x for each wild. Play with three 8x wild multipliers to benefit from the maximum 512x multiplier. This game is very high variance though so don’t expect big wins often, if at all.

With 38,327 x stake max wins, it’s less than the potential 50,000 x stake max wins in Rise of the Mountain King. However, the simpler gameplay will appeal to many players. The respins do trigger quite frequently too.

In summary, Reign of the Mountain King is a good slot game with the potential for huge wins if the wild multipliers work their magic. If you want big wild multipliers, 300 Shields Extreme (also by NextGen Gaming) comes with multipliers up to 300x and 17,773 x stake max wins per free spin.
