Rise of the Mountain King Review

Rise of the Mountain King is a Nordic fantasy-themed online slot that draws inspiration from Edvard Grieg’s orchestral piece ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’. This 5 reel, 3 row, 30 fixed payline slot includes the King’s Respin feature, Free Spins with Wild Multipliers, a Gamble feature, a Buy-In feature and 250 000 coin max jackpot.

Following on from 'Pillars of Asgard' released in 2019, Rise of the Mountain King is NextGen Gaming's second slot title steeped in Nordic mythology. The graphics and characters are superb, and the creative use of the famous orchestral tune is truly impressive. The King's imposing castle is visible behind the reels in the Base Game, and players lucky enough to trigger the Free Spins Bonus are transported inside the stone fortress.

Apart from the King's Re-Spin feature and the Rise of the Multiplier Free Spins Feature (both of which will be discussed in detail later), this game also includes a Gamble Feature and a Feature Buy mechanism.

To gamble any win, click on the Gamble button, and select a card color (black or red), or select a card suit (hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades). The win is doubled if you guess the correct color, and your win is quadrupled if you guess the correct card suit.

The “Buy Pass” Feature gives players direct access to the Rise of the Multiplier Feature for a fee of 100x your bet. Players can also wager 50x your bet for a 50/50 chance of triggering the Free Spins Feature by spinning a wheel. Note that the Buy Pass feature may not be available in all countries.

Wagering in the Base Game starts at 0.30 coins, and peaks at 15.00 coins and the well-designed betting interface includes an Autoplay option. NextGen Gaming also offers additional settings that allow the player to customize their gaming experience. These include an Effects Quality setting (to cater for low and high-end devices), as well as the ability to customize the Spin Button position either to the left or right-hand side of the screen. The volume of the sounds can be adjusted and muted, and there is also an option to mute the background sound only. In a highly competitive market, it's these player-focused enhancements that make some providers stand out from the rest - provided they're also producing good games of course!

Game Symbols

The symbol set consists of 6 high-paying symbols and 4 low-paying symbols. The Mountain King himself is the Wild Symbol and will substitute for all symbols (except the Scatter), and also triggers the Re-Spin feature if 3 or more land anywhere on the reels. The other special symbol to look out for is the Gemstone Scatter Symbol; 3 or more will trigger the Free Spins Bonus, and this symbol also pays up to 250x your bet. The other high-end symbols are the Damsel, Troll, Shield, and Axe. The low-end symbols are the medieval-looking Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Nine card ranks.

What are the Bonus Features?

The standout feature in the Base Game is the King's Re-Spin Feature. This feature is triggered when 3 or more Wild Symbols appear anywhere on the reels. One free respin with King Reels is awarded, meaning only Wilds spin as overlay symbols. Any extra Wild Symbols landing on a re-spin are locked in place, and an additional re-spin is awarded. This continues until no more Wilds Symbols appear, or if the entire screen is filled with Wilds. Any Scatters landing on the triggering spin are also turned into Wild Symbols.

Free Spins in Rise of the Mountain King

3, 4 or 5 Gemstone Scatters landing anywhere on the reels awards 8, 9 and 10 Free Spins respectively. Wild Symbols have a default 5x Multiplier, and when a wild win is achieved, its multiplier value is applied to the winning amount. If a Gemstone Scatter symbol lands on the reels, it is collected in the collection meter above the reels, and an additional Free Spin is awarded. When 3 Scatters are collected, the value of the Wild Multiplier is increased to 10x. The Scatter collection mechanism continues, and Wild Multipliers of 10x, 15x, 25x, 50x and 100x are achievable.

• Level 1 – 0 Scatters collected: x5 Wild Multiplier
• Level 2 – 3 Scatters collected: x10 Wild Multiplier
• Level 3 – 6 Scatters collected: x15 Wild Multiplier
• Level 4 – 9 Scatters collected: x25 Wild Multiplier
• Level 5 – 12 Scatters collected: x50 Wild Multiplier
• Level 6 – 15 Scatters collected: x100 Wild Multiplier

It's also worth mentioning the King's Respin feature is also active during the Free Spins Bonus, creating some massive win potential!

What is the jackpot (max win)?

Rise of the Mountain King is a high volatility game, with a Return To Player (RTP) of 96.31% (96.84% when triggering the Free Spins using the Buy Pass feature). The maximum win potential is 50 000x your bet, but the maximum win value is capped at 250 000 coins.
