ROYAL DYNASTY: GENERAL INFORMATION AND FEATURES
The background of Royal Dynasty is dedicated to the opulence and wealth of the featured royal family. On a varied golden drape, you can see the king's precious crown (top right) and a pile of gold coins (bottom left). The reels are simple but elegant, a characteristic given by the gold frame that outlines each one. The wheels' background appears to be a slab of fine marble, very dark with golden veins. Among the main icons are the king, princess, prince and court advisor, along with other figures clearly related to court life.
You can obtain wins by aligning 3 or more figures, except for the King icon which pays even in combinations of 2. Bets start from 20 coins and can be increased up to 2000 coins per spin. As often happens in Novomatic slots, the maximum win is set at 300,000 coins. Looking at the paytable, you'll find the base payouts and prizes associated with Wild wins (which are all doubled):
- The Wild King pays up to 5000x;
- The princess pays up to 10,000x;
- The prince pays up to 10,000x;
- The advisor pays up to 500x;
- Falcon and lion pay up to 300x;
- Coins and shield pay up to 200x;
- A and K pay up to 150x;
- Q, J, 10 and 9 pay up to 100x.
EXTRA FEATURES OF THE ROYAL DYNASTY SLOT
Wild: The icon depicting the king is the Wild/joker of the slot. It can substitute all base icons, therefore not the princess or prince, and help form more winning combinations. These prove particularly advantageous since all paylines containing the King icon double the base wins, reaching the values shown in the paytable.
Free Spins: Free spins can be triggered by 2 Scatter icons and these must appear 3, 4 or 5 times. The icons involved are those of the Prince and Princess and, naturally, trigger the function only if sufficient Scatter icons for activation are all of the same type. Free spins are retriggerable and stand out for their generous numbers. You can win 25, 30, 35, 40 or 45 free spins.
Gamble: When you get a win, you can decide to gamble it to try to double it. You must guess the color, red or black, of a card that is drawn and if you succeed, you'll see your win doubled. If you guess wrong, however, you lose even the initial win.

PROS AND CONS OF THE ROYAL DYNASTY SLOT
While maintaining traditional gameplay familiar to veteran players, Novomatic is slowly renovating its products, adding exclusive features and bonuses that didn't exist in older slots. This is the case with Royal Dynasty, which features 2 Scatters and an incredible number of retriggerable free spins. The Gamble feature has been maintained as always: an option always very dear to those who want to add an extra thrill to the bet. The slot, as expected, has high volatility. What's perplexing, however, is an RTP lower than even Novomatic standards.
