Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast Slot Review

Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The action in the Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast slot plays out on a 6 reel, 4 row machine that offers 4,096 ways to win. To create a winner, you’ll need to land 3 or more matching symbols or wilds (or just 2 sabretooth tigers) on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1.

Stake levels range from 10p to £375 per spin. Use the + and – next to the Total Bet box to alter your stake, much like many other Playtech slots. Autoplay allows you to run between 5 and 100 spins. You can also leave them running until you trigger the main bonus feature. However, this is not an option for UK players.

The overall Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast RTP is 96.22%. The actual RTP is 92.23% which covers the standard play. The other 3.99% is reserved from the Kingdoms Shop tokens and the progressive jackpots.

Excluding jackpots, you can win up to 10,000 x your total stake per spin. But please note that volatility here is high, so don’t expect huge wins too often.

Theme – join prehistoric warriors

The Kingdoms Rise slots are one of the flagship offerings from Playtech. They usually put great effort into making these games look and sound impressive and that’s certainly the case with the Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast slot. With a prehistoric theme, the setting is a verdant valley flanked by banners.

There’s a comic book quality to the design here which is excellent. There’s a slight military feel to the soundtrack which is rather subdued compared to some. It’s not intrusive at all but does add to the atmosphere. It’s a good fit. As usual for a Kingdoms Rise slots, the sound and visuals here impress.

On the reels are 6 lower value gemstone symbols. They’re joined by a quartet of more rewarding prehistoric warriors brandishing an assortment of primitive weapons. The sabretooth tiger is the most rewarding symbol, paying 1, 3, 4, 5 or 10 x your total stake if you land 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

There’s also a wild that can land anywhere apart from reel 1 and a scatter symbol.

Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast Mobile

Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast is available to play on tablets and smartphones as well as computers. The design works very well on the smaller screens. As does the simple gameplay. You’ll have a shot at landing the jackpots playing the Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast mobile slot too.

Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast Bonus Features

You’ll find a combination of classic and fresh features in Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast. Special golden flames expand symbols in 4 directions. There’s also a free spins feature where the expanding flames are more prevalent. The main attraction, of course, is the potential riches on offer from the progressive jackpot prizes.

Battle Beast Ways Plus feature

On any spin, any symbol bar the scatter and wild can be surrounded with a golden flame. This flame causes the symbol to expand 1 position up and down and left and right if the expansion leads to the creation of a new or improved winning combination. This is known as the Battle Beast Ways Plus feature. This has been used in other Playtech slots like Age of the Gods: Glorious Griffin.

Sabretooth Slash Free Games feature

The main attraction, the Sabretooth Slash Free Games feature, is triggered in the usual manner by landing 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. The more scatters, the more free spins:

During the free spin, the golden expanding symbols are 3 times more likely to land than in the base game. This increases your chances of activating the Battle Beast Ways Plus feature.

Retriggers are possible too. Landing just 2 scatters adds another 5 free spins. Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 delivers a full retrigger and another 8, 15, 25 or 100 free spins. You can win an infinite number of additional free spins.

Kingdoms Rise Shop feature

As usual for a slot in the Kingdoms Rise series, some symbols will appear with tokens attached. This is the Kingdoms Rise Shop feature. Collect enough tokens and you’ll have the chance to convert them into a feature.

In this case, collecting tokens can lead to the Wild Beast Respins feature. Here, special symbols are picked at random. When they appear during the respins, they’re kept in a ticker above the reels. On the final Super Spin, the collected symbols are dropped back onto the reels for a final payout consideration. There are 3 potential versions on offer here. The more tokens you collect, the better the potential rewards:

• 500 Tokens = 5 Battle Beast respins and 1 additional super spin with up to 2 special symbols
• 1,000 Tokens = 5 Raging Beast respins and 1 additional super spin with up to 3 special symbols
• 2,000 Tokens = 5 Ferocious Beast respins and 1 additional super spin with up to 5 special symbols

You can also use the collected tokens to buy bonus features from other Kingdoms Rise slots. Enter the Kingdoms Rise shop and take your pick.

Kingdoms Rise Jackpot feature

Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast also gives players a shot at landing a progressive jackpot prize via the Kingdoms Rise Jackpot feature. Triggered randomly on any spin, you can check out the current value of the jackpots via the meters to the side of the reels. This is what they entail:

• Epic Jackpot: begins at £100,000 and is progressive (unlimited)
• Power Strike Jackpot: will be won by the total value shown
• Daily Strike Jackpot: will be won by the time and date shown

Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast Review Summary – 1 of the best slots in the series 

The Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast slot is 1 of the better games in the Kingdoms Rise series. This is the case in terms of design and gameplay. I like the golden expanding symbols which can lead to big payouts even on a base game spin.

Your chances of landing bigger returns increase in the free spins due to golden expanding symbols landing up to 3 times more than in the base game. Add the token collect respins and the potential jackpot prizes into the mix and Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast become one of the top releases in Playtech’s popular franchise.
