Tales of Krakow Slot

Tales of Krakow is another old slot coming from NetEnt. To be quite honest after trying the game a few times I can’t imagine someone playing for real cash chasing a big win which will eventually never come. The game has a very poor graphic and animations. The symbol details are very low and the background music gets boring after some time.

This slot has 30 paylines so the minimum bet to play it is 30 cents which I think is too high considering the low return this slot has. The paytable is terrible and the highest paying symbol awards a win of only 500 coins for 5 of them on a winning payline. I would expect something special from the wild symbols or the bonus game but that’s not the case here. The wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter and bonus and doesn’t offer a multiplier nor it expands to cover the reels. The scatter symbol has a standard 2 x bet payout and 5 of them have a descent 200 x bet payout.

The game has a free spins bonus and a cash bonus. The cash bonus is triggered when you get 3 bonus symbols on the first 3 reels on a winning payline. Here you get to choose eggs which award cash prizes, but usually they are very small. The second bonus is a free spins bonus triggered by at least 3 scatters on the reels. You get 12 free spins with all wins tripled. The free spins can also be retriggered.

The base play wins are very small. The cash bonus can pay only 10 -20 coins if you guess an empty egg on the second choice. The free spins usually award 20 x bet and my biggest win in this bonus was only 40 x bet. I would never deposit to play this game again for real cash because it simply doesn’t pay anything descent and you can’t have some big wins.

Tales of Krakow is an old slot game from NetEnt productions. The slot has 30 play lines and 5 reels with a starting bet of $0.30. The slot was great for me when the last time I played it. In 20 spins I triggered the free spin feature twice and bonus game thrice. Can you imagine I just 20 I either triggered a bonus game or free spin feature in 5 of the spins. I boosted up my balance from a meager amount with which I started. The first time I made just 100 coins in the bonus game, the second time I made like 30 times the bet and third time I made 15 times the bet. So varying returns every time thus hard to decide the actual nature of the returns. The same happened with free spin feature like I made 20 times the bet the first time and 40 times the bet second time when it triggered it. Both when I triggered the free spins, in the last free spin I triggered the bonus feature. In free spins feature you are awarded with 12 free spins along with a 3x multiplier. Apart from bonus feature and the free spin feature the slot has wild symbol which substitutes all the symbols except the bonus game symbol and the scatter symbol.

Overall a great day for me. As the slot did not prove equally well all the times but still the slot is pretty good in returns. Although being an old slot the animation and graphics of the slot are not too good. But if the slot is good in returns all the other things can be compromised. So sure recommendation to all the gamblers out there, should try this slot. I would rate the slot 8 on 10.

And again i review old net entertainment game, and i am even not sure did this game still presented at most netent casinos, and i am only think that it is another one clone, since i played they all, and i can't remember any unique old net entertainment game. By the way it is great to see how the company who made just clones, good games of course but still clones, now dominating on this market and creating great and unique game, which most players like.

Tales of krakow has 30 paylines, and i think all old net entertainment games with 30 paylines this one is low variance, and this is great for me, because few times this slots save my day, when i hit big on dead or alive for example, and just want to save money, but still had a lot of wagering requirements. I have a cure in this case, open any old netent game, and just press autospin for 1000 spins. Most times i return and see that i did not lost anything, but made a lot of wagering, great! My experience with this game great, like i said, i made a lot of wagering on this game, but i never had big wins on it. Also here only 5 scatters pay something good, x 200 total bet, and 5 wilds pay a bit more, something like x 250 total bet, if this happens in free spins, you can multiply this win by x 3. But i never hit 5 wilds on this games, or 5 scatters, and i think this is really rare, because i never even see screenshots of such wins, so i did not know...

Low variance game which perfectly suits in case of needing to clear bonus without losing a lot of money. In VERY VERY rare occasions this game also can pay some money. But it is really rare occasions, probably even doa lands 5 wilds much often.

I think I must disclose here my monumental ignorance but I really don’t know too much about that Polish folktale that inspired the creation of this slot but must be starting from the fact that the slot uses dragon, pixie, knight characters at the well-known NetEnt quality level. Proper colour usage, well-drawn, visible symbols, overall nice appearance…I guess not much else that could ask for.

The game accepts bets on 30 lines and brings the common features to the table. The Dragon (wild) symbol Is the best paying character and could reward up to 7500 times of line bet but unfortunately any wins with it doesn’t give any other advantage. The Dragon bonus round is not a good one or at least I’m not a fan of it because with my €1.50 stake I had just once occasion when I won €16 but most of the time it was way less. In the cave of dragon first we have to choose 1 from 5 eggs, then 4 eggs and 2 eggs and the bonus game lasts until an empty egg is picked. It is neither entertaining nor well rewarding. On the other hand based on my history with the game the player here could wait the most compensate
from free spins. At least 3 Scatters are needed to activate 12 free spins and 5 of them anywhere on the screen pay 200 times of total bet. Free spins are played with the chance to triple the winnings and not too rare to get back €50-€60 or even more.

Generally, I’m not too satisfied with this game. Clearly, I expected much more from it and the best I can say is this is just a standard slot game with no specialty and below average payouts. A little bit I feel sorry for the graphics because I think it would have deserved better game services and some better extras.

For those who don't know, "Krakow" is a city in Poland with a rich history. The slot Tales of Krakow is based on a couple of Polish legends. Net Entertainment never been shy of creating slots with an amusing theme. Since this is one of the older slots, the reels do take a bit longer to spin. There is no "quick spin" option available.

I did however speed game play up by hitting the spin button twice in a row when I played this game some time ago. I must confess it's less enjoyable to play this game that way. Tales of Krakow has 5 reels and 30 paylines. The symbols which are used for this game describe the Polish folklore with King Boleslaw, the trumpeter and the Wawel dragon as the main game symbols.

Tales of Krakow also features an animated wild symbol (devil's head) which produces the highest pay out for this game when hitting 5oak (7500 coins). The minimum bet size for Tales of Krakow is 30 cents, but I played this game at 0.90 bets per spin.

The scatter symbol is that of King Boleslaw on his horse. Collect 3, 4 or 5 of them and you win 12 free spins with a 3x multiplier. In addition Tales of Krakow also offers a bonus game by hitting 3 or more dragons on a payline in succession on reels 1, 2 and 3.

After only a few spins I triggered the bonus game. There you get presented a collection of dragon eggs. You have to pop them one by one, and after each breaks you win a prize. Be careful though, because one wrong pick will end the bonus game. Wrong picks get shown by blowing green smoke.

With this bonus game I won 30x bet size the very first time, which is definitely not bad. After another 20 spins I managed to trigger free spins, and started playing them right away. Luck was on my side since I accumulated more than 200 euros while playing this game. All I could see was multiple winning combinations on several paylines during a few spins.

I stopped playing and remarkably I never played this game again. Maybe NetEnt Casinos should praise their older slots a bit more often, so their players can navigate to them more easily and don't forget them.

Final rating for Tales of Krakow is a 7.5/10.
