Kings of Crystals

The Nativity story famously features three kings, but the trio in this online slot isn't anywhere near as friendly with each other. Kings of Crystals from All41Studios follows the battle between three warring rulers, each of whom is determined to collect the shiny gemstones for themselves. Amid the fighting, there are opportunities for you to win big money with a top payout of x10,000 that could be won.

All41 Studios isn’t the largest slot developer you’ll find, but it’s relatively new compared to others. Established in 2018, All41 partnered with Microgaming to provide exclusive content for the industry giant and has since created popular games such as Mayan Eagle, Book of Atem and Magic of Sahara. Given their relatively limited portfolio, it won’t come as a surprise to discover that the world of fantasy hasn’t figured highly in their previous ventures. In fact, this is their first foray into this genre - but how does it shape up? 

You'll be joining the battlefield for the crystals on a board that is set up as a 5x4 grid, which includes 40 standard paylines. Betting is on the average to modest side, starting with a min bet of 0.20 and rising up to a max stake of 20.00. Volatility is high, so you might take a while to defeat the kings and earn your treasure, but with a max payout of x10,000, it's a prize worth waiting for. 

Bearing in mind it's the first time that All41 have created a fantasy game, it's an excellent attempt. Striking colours and a warrior-like board are set against a hazy background, including a castle with multiple turrets and snow-capped mountains in the distance. With such a sweeping panorama, any would-be ruler will feel surely compelled to take their place fighting for the kingdom? 

The paytable starts with metallic-looking playing card royals, with a gauntlet, chalice and the three kings appearing as the premium symbols. Land five of the top-paying symbol in a row, and you'll collect a payout of x5.  

You may be playing with kings, but you can still enjoy a helping hand in the form of a wild, which can appear on reels 2, 3 or 4. 

There are three different scatters in this slot - red, green and blue - and depending on what you land, you'll unlock a bonus.  

Land a red scatter, and you'll receive five free spins, which includes full reel nudging wilds. The reels are extended for this bonus with two extra positions, moving the paylines up to 100. If you land a wild during this feature, the reel nudges and transforms all the tiles on the reel to wild.  

A green scatter gives you ten free spins with the chance to play for four separate prize pots. During the free spins, look out for gold coins that can be collected. These will either award a cash prize of x1-x10 or a letter of one of the prize pots. If you manage to spell the whole name of the prize pot, you'll win the prize. The prize pots are Minor (x25), Mini (x50), Major (x500) and Grand (x10,000).

A blue scatter will reward you with five free spins, which include a random multiplier of between x and x10. The multiplier will be awarded on every spin for the duration of the bonus.  

For extra fun and payouts, it’s possible to unlock more than one type of free spin bonus simultaneously, either from the base game or by retriggering a bonus. 

Kings of Crystal from All41 Studios is a fun adventure that takes online slot players into a rich fantasy world. With different types of scatters, multiple features and a prize pot payout, it’s a very satisfying play and another winner from this emerging studio.
