Kingdom Below Bonus Features

It's a 5-reel video slot equipped with 12 fixed pay lines. To get a win, one must sequence two or three paying symbols positioned on adjacent reels on any of those win lines. But be aware that only winning combos starting from the leftmost reel are counted.

Grab feature

There is the Beast constantly soaring above the reels. The cute monster flies from one reel to another but stays inactive most of the time. Three events can occur as a result of its random activation. The first one is Grab feature triggering. This function implies all Grab symbol prizes on a randomly chosen reel are being collected by the Beast to be credited to the gambler balance. It is in place within the Base and Bonus Game. Grab prize figures vary from x1 to x50 (x1, x2, x5, x10, x30, x50).

Under Reel Collection

Also, the Grab prize can be pulled from beneath the play grid. The Grab and Under Reel Collection features can trigger concurrently, bringing separate prizes. The Under Reel Collection feature is presented within the Base and Bonus Game.

Slide n Grab

Also, Grab symbol prizes can be gathered from all the reels at once due to the Slide n Grab feature. When the latter is activated, the Beast glides from the leftmost reel toward the last one, increasing the Win Multiplier, whose final value will equal the number of reels that landed Grab symbols. After that, all the grab prizes are collected, and their sum is multiplied by the corresponding Multiplier. The Slide n Grab feature can't be triggered simultaneously with any previously described functions — the Grab or Under Reel collection feature. It is presented within the Base and Bonus Game.   

Scatter

3 Scatters that landed on the playfield simultaneously grant the Bonus Game activation. The initial number of Free Spins eligible is 10 FS. The Scatters may appear on any reel during the Base and Bonus Game.

Free Spins (FS)

Before Free Spins get started, the player is prompted to pick a modifier.

Pick a Fire

A player can pick just one modifier among the eight ones presented to him.

Modifiers

Each modifier is eligible in two variations — the regular and upgraded one.

Regular modifiers

• Five extra FS are awarded to the player
• More frequent Grab feature activations
• More frequent Slide n Grab feature activations
• More frequent landing of the Grab Symbols
• The lowest picture among those paying ones is removed
• At least one Grab Symbol lands on every Free Spin round
• The Grab Multiplier is increased to the x2 value
• A single random Grab Symbol is becoming sticky at any Free Spin round

Upgraded modifiers

• Ten extra FS are awarded to the player
• The Grab feature more frequently triggers at the x2 Multiplier
• The Slide n Grab feature more frequently triggers at the x2 Multiplier
• More frequent landing of the Grab Symbols plus the lowest pictures among those paying ones are removed
• Three of the lowest paying pics are removed
• At least three Grab Symbols land on every Free Spin round
• The Grab Multiplier is increased to the x5 value
• Two random Grab Symbols are becoming sticky at any Free Spin round

The maximum number of modifiers that can be activated throughout the Bonus Game is 4. Moreover, just a single version of the specific modifier can be active. Hence, the regular and upgraded form of the same modifier can't be enabled concurrently. If a few multipliers are in effect simultaneously, their values are summarized.

Scatter Collection Trail

There is a 12-step trail above the playing field during Free Spins. A player advances along this trail by collecting Scatters via the Grab or Slide n Grab features. Naturally, a player can take advantage only of those Scatters positioned within that single reel chosen by the beast for collecting Grab prizes when it comes to the Grab function. If the Slide n Grab feature is triggered, all Scatters on the playfield are used for progression along the trail.

Each 2nd step along the trail provides an extra modifier or 10 FS. To be precise, the 2nd, the 6th, and the 10th positions award extra modifiers, whereas the 4th, 8th, and 12th positions grant additional Free Spins. Thanks to 10 extra FS awarded by the corresponding modifier, the maximum possible Free Spins amount per Bonus Game reaches 50 FS. Each time extra Free Spins are handed, the Win Multiplier is increased (x2, x3, x10). It is applied only to the Grab symbol cash prizes. After the final 12th step is reached, no additional Free Spins or multipliers are awarded.

Under Reel Collection

During Free Spins, the Beast can pull out the Grab symbol prize or the Scatter using the Under Reel Collection feature. Scatter caught this way also allows an advance one more step along the Scatter collection trail.

Our Experience Playing Kingdom Below

To stay true to our tradition, we played through 300 spins in this slot. As usual, our initial deposit was precisely €200. The stake per round amounted to €1.

The 1st hundred spins triggered a single Bonus Game and brought us 15 regular wins. These ranged from €1 to €6. Unfortunately, Free Spins earned only €4. The most elongated free-of-winning period was 11 spins. The Grab features didn't activate even once. As a result, upon the 100th round end, we had only €133.

Luckily, the 2nd hundred spins seriously improved our balance, thanks to the new Free Spins round that made us as much as €103. Also, we reaped 15 base game prizes, varying from €1 to €31. The highest win happened due to the Grab feature being triggered once. After the 200th spin finished, €196 was in our possession.

Fortunately, the 3rd hundred spins brought approximately the same profit as the previous one. Despite only 11 regular wins, the largest base game prize totaled €40. Free Spins made us another €103. The Slide n Grab feature earned €1. After the 300-spin gaming session was out, our balance amounted to €268. Hence, we got richer on precisely €68.

Here are all the statistics:

The first notable upside your eyes catch is the absence of wins lower than the stake. Yet, pauses between wins are often approximately ten or even more spins. Cash prizes are mostly equal to the bet or just somewhat bigger. For instance, given our bet was €1, most wins varied from €1 to €10, with few exceptions.

On the other hand, Grab features look profitable, especially the Slide n Grab one that offers a multiplier up to x5 within the Base and Bonus Game. As you can see, Free Spins trigger pretty often. The Bonus FS Game seems very tempting due to up to 50 FS, plenty of modifiers, and a Win Multiplier up to x10, even though winnings in Free Spins can drastically vary in size as of our experience.

Kingdom Below Verdict

It's a superior contemporary game boasting top-tier design, original lore, and profitable bonus features. These latter are instant cash prizes, win multipliers, and Free Spins. The Bonus FS Game here is an exciting adventure, boasting plenty of lucrative modifiers, dozens of extra Free Spins, and win multipliers that apply to the Grab instant prizes. As we successfully demonstrated, Free Spins here can be highly profitable. On top of that, they are triggering frequently enough.

However, you should be aware that the RTP of this slot varied from 96.25% to 84.25% since it may be a frustrating surprise if you unexpectedly choose the slot's version with a low RTP value. There is no other prominent downside we found in this slot. So, if you like thrilling Bonus Games full of profitable features and chances of a big one-piece, that's the game you should try.
