Coming to all good Play’n GO mobile casinos on the 25th of June 2015, we honestly didn’t think much about this new Play’n GO slot release when we heard about it.
Not because it wasn’t interesting. But because on the same day IGT are bringing out the hotly anticipated Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin slot machine, both online and mobile.
Then there’s the fact that Neon Staxx by NetEnt will be out but one day earlier on the 24th.
So how can this little casino software provider from Sweden hope to compete against the behemoth of game powerhouses that are NetEnt and International Gaming Technologies?
By increasing the stakes. In every way.
Join us in this opulent venetian love affair
And we promise you it’s going to be a love affair.
Now we don’t have all the information for this Royal Masquerade slot machine.
This is, after all, a slot preview, not a video slot review. For that you’ll have to wait for the 25th of June.
However, from what we have seen, we already know that we are going to enjoy it.
That can only mean one thing.
That’s right. We’ve seen this mobile slot before.
Back in February 2015 we played and reviewed a new Play’n GO slot Pimped.
We genuinely did not think we would enjoy it, and ended up giving it 4 stars. Which is damn good.
We suspect that Royal Masquerade will get 5 stars. Reason being, it uses the same mechanics as the Pimped game, but increases the top amount winnable up to an amazing one million in cash.
You mean 1 million SEK right? Crazy swedes…
NOPE.
We mean one million in either USD, GBP or EURO – depending on which casino you play at.
Because, yeah, we won’t lie, we thought they’d gotten those numbers wrong too. Play’n GO developers are in Sweden, £€1 is more or less 10 SEK… we thought the same thing as you.
But turns out, whilst they made the top win 500,000 in cash in Pimped, they’ve doubled it for Royal Masquerade.
I guess when you are competing with IGT and NetEnt for players attention, you might as well go big, or go home.
Mr Green just added the software, and putting these slots front and centre.
This make the Royal Masquerade slot very high variance
Pimped was medium/high. That little extra cash just made Royal Masquerade jump right up to our highest of the high.
Of course, to reach one million in cash, you’ll need to be wagering 100 a spin. Which, granted, isn’t going to be everyone.
But, if you’re good at removing zeros and have a basic grasp of mathematics, you should still be able to figure out that the top win on this Royal Masquerade mobile slot will be… 10,000 times your bet.
To give you an idea of how big that is, even Microgaming Fish Party slot only has a 6,480 times your bet top win.
And we are using the word ‘only’ lightly here.
So it’s a big in-game jackpot slot. But is it any good?
This isn’t for the big bonus game hunters out there.
As mobile video slots go, Royal Masquerade is actually a fairly simple game. You have scatters and wilds.
The wild comes stacked at all times, whilst the scatter will trigger 5 “Win Spins”.
Those are very special spins where you are guaranteed to get a win on each of those free spins. Plus, anytime a scatter shows up during the bonus round, you’ll win additional spins.
And if there’s one thing we love doing, more than playing slots, it’s winning on mobile slots.
Did we mention it looks stunning?
We’ve said it recently before, but we will say it again: we’re not sure who Play’n GO hired in their art department, but they shouldn’t let that person go.
- 5×3 reels video slot
- 10 Paylines
- min/max bet: 0.10 / 100
- RTP: 96.51%
Their graphics have been unbelievable in the last few releases. The Tower Quest slot machine was beautiful in that ‘swords and sandals’ kind of way, whilst Golden Legend could have sat in a casino of Macau and not felt out of place.
And the amount of detail they’ve put into Royal Masquerade game is no exception.
From being able to practically smell the streets of venice in the background, to each of the festival revellers hosting their own unique colourful characteristic, this is going to be a beautiful, beautiful game.
Where can I play Royal Masquerade?
Released on the 25th of June, all good Play’n GO mobile casinos will host this game.
And being Play’n GO you will be able to play this game as either a Windows, Android or iPad / iPhone slot.
Though once they realise how much you can potentially win, some of them might hide it.
The bravest amongst them will the likes of:
- Guts casino: £€$300 welcome bonus + 100 free spins (no wagering)
- Leo Vegas: £1,000 / €$700 bonus + 200 free spins
- NextCasino: Exclusive 150% up to £€$200 bonus + 100 free spins
Question is, will you be brave enough to wander these dangerous Venetian streets?
If you’re not sure, you should probably ask the Lady of Fortune slot at any of the above casinos. She’s got just as much hiding under the surface.
