Defenders of the Realm Slot Review

How to play

There is a huge button with a golden pointer that acts as a play button. Simply click on it and those five reels with four rows each will start spinning. In this fixed 20-payline slot, players can change the size of their bet. The lowest value that you can use as a total bet is €0.20. There is a maximum limit too - €200. The good news is that you can choose from a variety of values between these two.

Another thing that we should mention is the detailed auto-play feature that you can activate by using the button under the Play button. You can choose between 10 and 100 auto-spins and set different limits. If you want to turn the music on or off, use the “+” button. The same button will let you get more information about the payouts, bonuses, and symbols found here.

Symbols and payouts

It is very common for modern video slots to have nine regular symbols. The Defenders of the Realm slot has the same number of regular symbols. The low-paying regular symbols come in the shape of playing card icons inspired by Norse runes. When a player lands three, four, or five 5s, Jacks, Queens, Kings, or Aces on a single payline, they will get 5, 25, or 50 times their line bet respectively.

The payouts are significantly higher when you make combinations with the rest of the regular symbols. For starters, we have a blonde goddess. She pays 10, 50, or 100 times the line bet. Players will get the same payouts if they make the same winning combos with the Freyja (warrior goddess) symbols. Odin, the supreme Norse god, and Thor are the two most valuable regular symbols. They pay 15, 100, or 200 times the line bet when you land three, four, or five matching icons on a line.

The most valuable symbol that you can find in this game is the wild symbol. It pays 20, 200, or 2,000 times the line bet for three, four, or five wilds on a line.

Best Defenders of the Realm bonus feature

The creators of this game have created a few special features. We will start with the Defenders of the Realm bonus feature known as the Beat Box. Some of the symbols can be placed in frames. Any win where one or more symbols are framed by a so-called Beat Box will multiply the payout by two. In case all four reel positions on a reel are part of a Beat Box, it will turn into a wild reel and stay like that for three spins.

Of course, players should expect a wild icon too. It counts as any missing regular symbol when it can help you form a winning combination. Don’t forget that hitting three or more treasure chests anywhere in view will activate a Pick Bonus Game. You can choose from four to six options and you can get a cash prize or you’ll advance to the next level for higher prizes.

Making winning combos with wilds will unlock the reels. Once they are all activated with the help of the Locked Wild Reels bonus, you will activate a round of Defenders of the Realm free spins with 10 free spins.

RTP & Volatility

As for the Return to Player percentage found in this online slot, we should mention that it’s relatively high. The Defenders of the Realm RTP is 96% to be more precise. The game has high volatility too. In other words, you will not get wins too often, but their values will be high.
