Slot Features
King Henry is the Wild symbol that can act as a substitute for all the other symbols in the game except for the Shield and Swords Scatter symbol. Wild can form winnings on its own and when it substitutes in a win line.
If you land the Scatter on reels 1 and 5 you will trigger a bonus feature. You will get to choose one of those scatter which will reveal either the Heads will Roll or the Long Live the King feature.
Heads Will Roll Free Spins
After each spin during the Free Spins, one guillotine will fall. If any of the Queens happens to be on that reel, she will lose her head and turn Wild for the rest of the round. Free Spins feature will continue till only one wife remains. Correctly choose the surviving wife so you can win additional prize. Decide the surviving wife’s fate for the chance to trigger the Long Live the King feature.
Long Live the King
Here you will get the chance to help King Henry escape his jilted ex-wives and win some loot on the way! The way you can do this is by selecting chests to reveal the instant prizes. The feature ends if a ghost catches the King. Find a key in one of the chests for the chance of escaping and earning a mystery multiplier, or stay and collect more loot at your peril.
Royal Flush
The game hides one random feature. Here all card suit symbols will get randomly converted to the one and the same symbol which will significantly increase your chances of winning big despite the fact that these are low paying symbols.
Summary
Battle Royal is a slot worth of the Play’n GO’s reputation. Amazing design, great visual effects, appropriate sounds and nice-looking animations. All this is paired up with a few interesting features and a 96% RTP rate. It is playable across all devices so don’t miss the chance to test it.
When I first looked at this Battle Royal game, the first thing that came to my mind was 7 Sins, also by the same game provider. Some of the characteristics of the game are similar, like the Ladies symbols, but the features are of course not similar, which makes this game slightly more interesting. However, not everything is that good, nor that bad, but we'll come to that soon enough.
Once again, the 2 top paying symbols are the Wild and the Yellow Queen, but only paying a lowish 30x the total bet for any 5 of them. The Scatters, appearing only on reels 1 and 5, are non-paying, but awards a Free Spins Game, with an undefined number of free spins, so you may get a lot of free spins, or very little indeed, as I later found out. It all depends on how many spins one Queen can survive and avoid that guillotine. Guillotine? Yeah...as history has it, King Henry VIII beheaded 2 of his wives...ouch! Anyway, if you do get one Queen to survive, then you get a chance at one more feature game - Long Live The King, whereby you get to pick Treasure Chests to win additional cash prizes, but beware of the catching Ghost, which would end the game! Sorry to say, I don't quite like this type of feature game! Hahaha.
Here again, it is indicated that the maximum possible win is a marvelous 5000x the total bet, but yet again, it is actually misleading! Why? Simply because the maximum win can only be achieved from one entire Free Spins Game and not from any one single spin! Needless to say, to get this max win, you need to get all of those Extra Wilds from the dead Queens, otherwise, the payouts cannot be that huge. Nonetheless, I was lucky enough to get that extra Long Live The King feature game, escaped from being caught by the Ghost, and finally got a nice decent 201x win. Not bad at all, but I guess you need to be lucky enough to even get this kind of a win! Most other times, the payouts are lowish!
Honestly speaking, I like that Banana Rock game better than this Battle Royal game, but because I managed to get a better win with the latter, so I have to be fair to it and rate it slightly better too. This Battle Royal has a much higher maximum win too, but that doesn't matter much to me, as I know that getting that win would be like mission impossible, hehehe.
