Majestic King Expanded Edition

Majestic King Expanded Edition Slot Review

The sun has just gone down over the savanna, deep red overhead, burning orange at the horizon, flat-topped acacias standing black against the last of the light. Watering-hole territory, and Spinomenal has been here before with Majestic King, Majestic King Sunset and Majestic King Ice Kingdom.

This one hides its money well. The paytable looks flat from three symbols up to ten, then the eleventh multiplies the elephant’s line five times over, and the only way to get there is a line stretched to twelve symbols deep, every position filled twice over. It runs on a 5×3 grid with 25 fixed paylines at an RTP of 96.3%, and there’s a BUY FEATURE button on the reels if waiting isn’t your style.

Reels, Lines and Double Symbols

The reel area sits inside a thick gold frame with ornate corner flourishes, red banners running down both edges, and a rust-red plain of ridged dry grassland below. It’s a lush, painterly backdrop, and it doesn’t get in the way of the job.

Every symbol in the game can appear in a double symbol form, and each double counts as two singles when a winning combination is being built. That’s the mechanic the whole paytable is stretched around: the payout columns don’t stop at five-of-a-kind, they run all the way to twelve symbols on a single line.

Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, multiplied by the bet per line, and only the highest combination on each line counts. The wild is the lion: it counts as any symbol except the Free Spins and Bonus scatters, and six wilds on a winning line pay bet per line x1000.

Symbol pays are multiples of the bet per line, by the count on a line:

• Elephant (medium): 20 for three, 32 for four, 50 for five, 100 for six, 150 for seven, 200 for eight, 250 for nine, 300 for ten, 1,500 for eleven, 2,000 for twelve
• White-blue bird (medium): 18 for three, 28 for four, 40 for five, 90 for six, 120 for seven, 160 for eight, 210 for nine, 260 for ten, 1,000 for eleven, 1,500 for twelve
• Giraffe (medium): 16 for three, 24 for four, 35 for five, 80 for six, 100 for seven, 120 for eight, 170 for nine, 220 for ten, 750 for eleven, 1,000 for twelve
• Zebra (medium): 14 for three, 20 for four, 30 for five, 70 for six, 80 for seven, 100 for eight, 150 for nine, 200 for ten, 500 for eleven, 750 for twelve
• A: 12 for three, 18 for four, 22 for five, 50 for six, 80 for seven, 90 for eight, 100 for nine, 120 for ten, 350 for eleven, 500 for twelve
• K and Q: 8 for three, 15 for four, 20 for five, 45 for six, 60 for seven, 70 for eight, 80 for nine, 100 for ten, 200 for eleven, 350 for twelve
• J and 10: 5 for three, 10 for four, 15 for five, 40 for six, 50 for seven, 60 for eight, 70 for nine, 80 for ten, 140 for eleven, 200 for twelve

Notice where the money sits. From three to ten symbols, every step up the ladder pays a little more than the last. Between ten and eleven the elephant jumps from 300 to 1,500, the bird from 260 to 1,000, and the giraffe from 220 to 750. The eleventh symbol is where the paytable stops being polite.

Stacked Wilds and Only Double Symbols

Four things can happen while the reels are turning, two of them at random:

• Stacked Wilds – wilds appear on the reels in stacks, at random
• Only Double Symbols – every symbol lands doubled, at random
• Bonus game – three or more Bonus scatters
• Free spins – three or more Majestic King scatters

Stacked Wilds drops wild symbols onto the reels in stacks, which does exactly what the name suggests for your chances of hitting several lines at once. It can arrive on any spin, and it stacks the odds rather than the paytable.

Only Double Symbols is the more interesting one. When it triggers, every symbol lands in its double form, so every line is built from six to twelve symbols instead of three to five.

A modest three-of-a-kind pay is off the table on those spins. The twelve-symbol end of the paytable is suddenly in play, which is the whole point: the elephant’s 2,000 line, the bird’s 1,500, and everything the top row of the table holds.

Free Spins

The Majestic King symbol is the free spins scatter. Land three or more anywhere on the reels and the round triggers, awarding between 10 and 40 automatic free spins. The bet per line stays the same as the spin that triggered it, and the trigger works in the base game only.

Inside the round, one of the four medium symbols – elephant, bird, giraffe or zebra – is always a double symbol for the duration. That guarantees every free spin plays out at six-to-twelve-symbol depth for at least one paying symbol, which is where the top end of the paytable lives.

The Bonus Game

A separate Bonus scatter triggers the Bonus game when three or more land, again in the base game only. The Bonus round is its own feature, distinct from free spins, and it runs off the scatter bearing its name rather than the Majestic King symbol.

The wild has no hand in either trigger: it substitutes for everything except these two symbols, so no combination of wilds alone will open a round. With two scatter types sharing the reels, each carries its own count of three.

Buy Feature

For players who’d rather not wait on the scatters, a BUY FEATURE button sits on the reel UI.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7/10

This is a patient game, and the reason to sit at this particular watering hole is depth: a line that doubles its way to eleven or twelve symbols pays five times what ten does, and nothing else about the savanna experience comes close to that moment. The long stretches between are real.

The free spins round is the best thing in it, because the guaranteed doubled medium symbol puts the top of the paytable in reach on every one of up to 40 spins. The weakness is the other half: the Bonus game sits beside free spins without earning equal billing, and the elephant’s 2,000 line for twelve-of-a-kind is the biggest number the game puts on paper.

It suits players who like a long build and a paytable that rewards depth over frequency, and it’ll leave anyone who wants the odds stated before the first spin wanting. Under that sunset, the herd thins out and the waiting gets easier. For the right temperament, that’s the whole appeal.
