The Reel King himself is one of the more unique characters in online video slots. The basic layout is familiar, with the standard gameplay being over five reels and twenty win lines. However, completely at random, the Reel King will appear after a winning spin, increasing the value of the pay out from that spin. In addition to the King, players will also see the Jester Hat symbol, which is the slot’s wild card, substituting for any other symbol.

Reel King incorporates the gamble function found on many newer slot games. As soon as a player spins in at least three matching adjacent symbols across the first three reels, the ‘Gamble’ button lights up. Players can then choose to click this button or the ‘Collect’ button if they prefer not to gamble. A special bar within the gambling feature indicated where the gamble has won or lost; if it is lit and flashing then the player is successful. If not, then the bet and any winnings are lost and the player is returned to the standard game.

Returning to the subject of the Reel King, he can appear in the form of a symbol at any point during gameplay following a spin. The King has his own set of reels, and affects the entire reel he appears on. This acts as Reel King’s bonus game, with the King continuing to affect each spin until he no longer provides a win. At this point, the king disappears and the game continues as normal. Prizes won during the King’s appearances can equate to between five and 500 times the standard spin bet.
