Slot Features
The Wild symbol is the highest paying on in the game that can form wins on its own, and it can help you form win combos by substituting in a win. It can sub in for all the symbols except the Horn, the Chest and the second Wild.
Beat Boxes
Landing Horn symbols anywhere on the reels will add a coloured frame, blue, purple, green, red or orange, to that position. Any line win combo that includes framed positions will award doubled wins. After wins are awarded, the frames involved will be removed. However, if all 4 positions on any reel contain Horn symbol or frames then the Wild is locked in place for the next 3 spins and before the spins start the frames will be removed.
Pick Bonus
During the base game if you hit 3 or more Chests anywhere on the reels you will kick off the Pick bonus which is a multi-level round. With 3 Chests you get 4 tiered round, with 4 Chests you get 5 tiered round, and with 5 Chests you can get 6 tiered pick bonus round.
Each tier offers 4 picks, and when you take all 4, you will advance to the next level. The round will keep on for as long as there are levels to move on to, or if you find the Red X symbol that will end the round. Blue Rune awards the displayed credit, Green Rune will award the credit and advance to the next level, and x2 will double all the previously picked vales and end the bonus.
Summary
Defenders of the Realm really shows progress in terms of artwork and design when it comes to High5Games. It’s a significant improvement in comparison to their other games which some players may find great, and others that it’s a complete mess. Now, we are having really split opinions about the game and are unsure which way are we leaning to, but we’d recommend you giving it a try and let us know how you liked it.
Defenders of the Realm is a fairly new online slot by High 5 Games. I stumbled across this new offering as I was playing in High 5 casinos and testing out some new slots other than the normal slot games by the popular providers that I am used it.
High 5 Originals are great slots, except for all of them seem of high variance and defenders of the realm are no exception either. Honestly, I do not know where to start with this slot as it's extremely confusing, especially about the trigger the free spins feature.
This Norse Mythology /Viking theme slot which looks similar to something you would see like Asgard and Thor slots have big win potential. The graphics are not the best on this slot and they could have done a better job, but the soundtrack, OMG it just takes your mind to another level, where you think deep as if you were somewhere that does not exist. Almost like daydreaming and you cannot remember what you dreamt of!
On the reels you will find your royals ranging from 5 – A's – yes that is right 5 is the new replacement for the royal 10 symbols on their slots and you will notice this in many of their offerings. High-value symbols will be Odin, Thor, Freya, and the mother I believe. Loki is not present in this release, well he tends to make bad decisions anyway and this story is supposed to have a happy ending.
Wild comes as a normal wild symbol and fully stacked wild symbol. The full reel wilds are available only during the base lock feature and free spins. In normal spins, you will get the random wilds feature where a couple of wilds land anywhere on the reels to win.
The base symbol gives color to the frames of the spaces on the reels, almost like they upgrade to a specific feature and producing a win multiplier as well. If you land the base symbol on the same spot 4 times without landing a wild, the reel becomes a fully stacked wild for 3 re-spins and an x2 multiplier.
When you unlock fully stacked wilds on all reels, then you will trigger free spins. You are awarded 10 free spins and 1 – 4 stacked wilds on each spin landing randomly on any reels before any spin plays out.
Please note, the base game spins are empty 6/10 to be honest, so you lose balance quickly, however, I was saved by 4 stacked wilds re-spins feature and a free spins feature that saved my balance quickly and ended up with a withdrawal.
I like this slot, it just seems very busy and confusing, so accept what you see on the screen and move on!
