Hall of the Mountain King

Hall of the Mountain King Review

Hall of the Mountain King is a very original slot based around the classical music masterpiece “In the Hall of the Mountain King”. The visual presentation is very nice, but it’s really the soundtrack that steals the show here.

The game comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 ways to win, and the main attraction is the 3 level free spins feature taking place in the hall of the mountain king. The music builds up to the well-known climax as you climb the levels, and you will also benefit from wilds, multipliers and symbol replacement along the way.

The RTP on Hall of the Mountain King is 96.29%, which is quite average. This puts the House edge at 3.71%, as Return to Player tells you how much the game pays out in the long run. Just as important is to know that this is a high volatility game. This means big wins when you win, but there will be dry spells inbetween.

Hall of the Mountain King comes with a Multiplier Meter you can see to the left of the reels, and every win including a wild symbol will be subject to a multiplier boost.

Free spins in Hall of the Mountain King

The free spins feature on Hall of the Mountain King slot is triggered when you land at least 3 Mountain King Hammer scatters on reel 2, 3 and 4. There are 3 different levels or stages to the free spins feature, and it all builds up to a crescendo on the third level together with the amazing soundtrack. The free spins feature plays out in the hall of the mountain king, deep inside the majestic mountain in the background:

Free Spins Level 1

The the right of of the reels you’ll see a Upgrade-Meter, and whenever you land a winning combo the Mountain King will smash one of the stone blocks on this meter. A low value symbol will be removed, and replaced by a high value symbol. The Mountain King Troll can also upgrade the Multiplier Meter so the highest multiplier boost is 15x instead of 5x. When all upgrade blocks have been smashed you progress to the next level.

Free Spins Level 2

Level 2 of the free spins feature is all about collecting Whirling Winds wilds. Whenever the Mountain King smashed a Whirling Wind stone block, the Whirling Wind wilds will be freed and collected on top of the reels. You can collect a maximum of 6 wilds before moving to the final level.

Free Spins Level 3

The final free spins stage is the big climax, and Grieg’s masterpiece is reaching its famous crescendo here. You now have both upgraded symbols and Whirling Wind wilds to benefit from, and you have 3 free spins to play them all out on. On every spin a random number of Whirling Wind wilds are let loose on the reels.
