Medieval Mania

Medieval Mania Review

There have been countless love stories of fearless knights who despite any obstacles rescue imprisoned princesses from evil hands. Those, in turn, spawned numerous slot games, and this game is no exception. It takes players to a fantasy realm to battle through the forgotten paths to release the princess from the enchanted castle, and your reward will be up to 1,000x the stake.

Medieval Mania - Slot Outlook

Well, the game has the word 'medieval' in the title, but it has a strong fairy tale feel to it, and the overall setting looks like a cartoon. There's a castle in the backdrop, and that's where the princess awaits. The 5x3 reel set with 20 ways to play is sitting under the hill, where the trope to the enchanted castle lies through the mystic forest. An epic medieval soundtrack will accompany you during the action, picking up the tempo when you hit bonus features to add some thrill.

Offering bets from $0.2 to $50 per spin, the Medieval Mania slot comes with a weirdly balanced math model. Well, it's a med-high variance game, and you expect the max win to be at least appropriate to the volatile nature. However, the developer thinks otherwise and tells that 1,000x potential is just OK. Still willing to read ahead? Anyway, back to the math model, the RTP is nice, as 96.08% is a whisker above the average level - at least not lower the average thankfully, but there's nothing to complain about actually. This way, wins should occur fairly often, plus the hit rate seems fine, albeit unknown, while the feature hit rate is 1:119.

The paytable in Medieval Mania includes 10 regular pay symbols that are split into two categories. The lower section is made up of classic A-J royals, and high-paying symbols include in ascending order a chalice, helmet, sword and shield, prince, princess, and the king. At least 3 matching symbols are needed to land adjacently starting from the leftmost reel to achieve a win, and 5-of-a-kind premium symbol wins are worth from 5x to 40x the stake. Finally, the enchanted castle is Wild, and it acts as a substitute for any other regular symbol.

Medieval Mania - Bonus Features

There isn't a lot for a player to get stuck into, and the Medieval Mania slot is almost stripped to the basics and relies heavily on its only bonus feature - Free Spins. It's activated when 3 Scatters land simultaneously on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the base game, and players proceed to the bonus game with 5 spins to start.

The Free Spins round plays in a similar way to the base game, but the difference is that all Wild symbols are Sticky for the duration of the bonus. On top of that, each new Wild symbol that lands on the grid during the Free Spins adds +1 additional spin to the total tally.

Medieval Mania - Slot Verdict

Medieval Mania is actually an enjoyable slot, and the Free Spins feature can be very powerful and produce significant wins. However, not that significant, as once you take a peek at the game's rules, you realize there's actually nothing to hope for. 1,000x max win is unacceptable unless it's a low volatile slot machine, but Medieval Mania isn't. All up, it might hook you for some time, but you shouldn't consider it a game where to hunt for big jackpots.
