Forbidden Throne is 5 reels and 40 pay-lines video slot powered by Microgaming software provider. This fantasy-themed slot is inspired with the times when unicorns walked the earth and phoenix birds ruled the skies. Graphics is clear-cut and sound effects are entirely theme-related. The reels are slightly transparent and they are set against the scenery of a mystic land. Give this slot a spin for free on this page or visit Microgaming Casinos to play for real money.
Before you immerse yourself in this fantasy world, you should set your bets. When you click on "Bet" you can set the number of coins, and coins size which ranges from 0.01 to 0.50, and "Spin" will set the reels in motion. "Autoplay" option is used to turn the reels without interruption for a chosen number of times. "Max Bet" on side from bet and lines will set the maximum bet allowed.
Game logo is the Wild symbols and it can substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter. Wild can make wins on its own if you land 2 or more on the same payline.
There are 4 main characters: Unicorn, Phoenix, Priestess, Knight and the Castle. On every spin, at least one of the reels will turn completely Wild and covered by these characters. The Scatter symbol may overlay these Expanded Wilds which means you will still have chances of triggering the main feature.
The Glowing Yellow Orb is the Scatter and if you land 3 or more of these anywhere on the reels you can trigger Free Spins feature. Once triggered, you will win 10, 20 or 30 spins, depending on the number of symbols that triggered the feature. This feature can be retriggered if you land 3 or more scatters on the reels.
Gameplay:
Bet: Set the number of cons to bet, and coins size.
Spin: Set the reels in motion.
Max Bet: Set the maximum bet allowed.
Autoplay: Turn the reels without interruption for a chosen number of times.
I came across his game one week ago whilst browsing at Casumo, looking for new games. When I opened the game, it was still hot from the oven, so to speak, that I couldn't even find any info on the game. Nothing has been written on the game as yet by then - there was only a blank page. Nonetheless, I decided to try it out in the fun mode, as I always do with new games, to get myself a little familiarised with it. Looking at the screen, I couldn't make out the game provider, but looking at that Start/Spin button, Leander Games came into mind. I've seen the same button on a few other games, and I knew for sure this wasn't a Microgaming game, even though the game now appears in Microgaming list.
Honestly speaking, I was very impressed at the graphics used in the game, in particular, that beautiful lady warrior with very skimpy clothing. Hmm, dressed like that, it shouldn't be difficult for her to melt down and defeat the male enemies - they would be too occupied looking at her ssexy body, hahaha. However, I do feel that the other regular symbols are just a little too small for good visual impact, and the earthly colours giving a pleasing but subdued atmosphere. I do like the Wild Reels though, each one being very nicely illustrated, and one being astonishingly striking. No need to say which one that is, hehehe.
Forbidden Throne plays with 40 paylines, with the logo as the Wild symbol. 5 of them pays a damn low 12.5x the total bet, it substitutes for other symbols except for the Scatter symbol, but doesn't do anything else. Yep, a dumb Wild symbol. Luckily this Wild symbol isn't the most important symbol in the game. The Golden Orb is the Scatter symbol, another dumb one, with no payouts at all for getting them, but getting 3, 4 or 5 of these Orbs trigger 10, 20 or 30 free spins without any multiplier. The Free Spins game can be retriggered. Well, without any multiplier, no really big wins can be achieved, not even by getting all those randomly appearing Wild Reels, which would pay only 500x the total bet for getting all 5 Wild Reels.
These Wild Reels randomly appear on the reels for every spin, from 1 up to 5 Wild Reels, both in the base game and during the free spins too, but they don't double any wins with them. Such a pity! As for the other symbols in the game, they pay from 5x the total bet to an unbelievably low 0.2x the total bet, for getting 5 of each kind. Sheesh! Needless to say, this is yet one more extremely low paytable to join the many others. With such damn low win values for the symbols, the only way to win big is to play with big bets, and that can and will kill any wallet without any problems at all!
I am still wondering why the game would lag so badly and so frequently! Each time I play this game, it would lag, or hang completely, and I need to restart the entire casino software again! This is totally unacceptable and so ridiculous! There must be something seriously wrong with the game's configurations. I get the same blardy lag and hang over 4 separate plays on the game, so much so, I don't even want to play this Forbidden Throne game anymore! With such a ridiculously low paytable, I cannot even find one good reason to play it, other than to try it out for a first time, which I had to do 4 times already instead of just once!
