Pub Kings

Title

Themed experiences can be memorable, and this one transports you to a specific time. While cultural practices may have evolved, the setting of a pub during a specific era remains engaging. The game places you in a pub located in a mountainous region.

The game begins outside the pub, and the base game includes Random Awards potentially reaching a maximum payout. This feature is triggered randomly when 2 scatter symbols appear. The bonus round revolves around increasing the award meters associated with each reel by collecting specific symbols. The soundtrack complements the theme. This game is an entertaining experience, and the award system offers a unique twist.

Features

The premium character symbols offer payouts for landing 5 of a kind, while the royal symbols also provide a decent return for the same. There are no symbols of a specific type, and the scatter symbol appears on specific reels only.

Scatters can also lead to awards within the game. When exactly 2 scatters appear, the Random Award feature may be activated. The paytable might not be entirely clear, potentially implying that the Random Award always triggers, but personal experience may vary.

When activated, the scatters choose a random reel, which then awards a random prize. The prizes on each reel range from level 1 (lowest) to level 7 (highest), relevant during the bonus round:

• Reel 1 awards various amounts.
• Reel 2 awards various amounts.
• Reel 3 awards various amounts.
• Reel 4 awards various amounts.
• Reel 5 awards various amounts.

The Bonus Round is triggered by landing 3 scatters on specific reels simultaneously, granting a set number of free spins. Each character is assigned to a reel during the feature, and all character symbols are collected in their respective reel meters after each spin. A certain number of collected symbols per reel is needed to activate the lowest-level prize, and collecting a specific amount will upgrade the prize to the next level.

Once the bonus round concludes, the reel/character with the most collected symbols awards its associated prize based on the achieved level. If multiple reels/characters are tied, the reel/character with the highest prize is paid. Retriggering the bonus round or winning extra spins is not possible.

Finally, for eligible players, the Bonus Buy menu is available. Purchasing the bonus round incurs a cost, and the feature has an organic hit rate.
