King Cashalot

Released back in 2008, King Cashalot remains on of Microgaming’s oldest slot games, but the mere fact it is still popular among the casino gamers speaks volumes about its quality. And while the five reel, nine payline game obviously features outdated graphics that are not too easy on the eye, decent payouts in the main game, high-value progressive jackpot and second screen bonus round should help you disregard said drawbacks.

Unlike the contemporary Microgaming slots which house the winning ways scheme, King Cashalot awards wins when three or more matching icons are found on pre-determined paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. It is important to note though that both Wild and Scatter will also award payouts for two identical symbols.

On that note, you will want to know that none other than the King himself assumes the role of the substitute, as he is able to replace any other icon apart from Court Jester Scatter and Golden Dragon Bonus. You will be glad to hear that each winning combo containing one or more King Wilds will be multiplied by x2.

The game does not offer too many choices when it comes to the size of your total wager, with coin value fixed at $0.05. Nevertheless, seeing that the slot only contains a total of nine paylines, the $0.45 bet per spin shouldn’t prove too much, although you have to option to select fewer than nine lines. On the other hand, if you want to increase your stake, you can do so by wagering up to 5 credits per single payline.

While other game icons offer decent payouts in the main game, the King stands head and shoulders above the rest, which is how it should be. And while you can land up to 7,500 coins when four King Wilds occur on an active payline, the top payout of 75,000 credits will be heading your way if you get five of these to appear on a single line.

Courts have traditionally been places where monarchs staged lavish parties when they were not waging wars and you now have the opportunity to witness one such festivity alongside the King, Queen, brave knight and fair maiden. You also have a chance to enjoy some of the specialty dishes such as pork roast, baked chicken, seafood, fruit plate and some delicious deserts.

Getting Golden Dragon icons anywhere on reels II, III and IV at the same time will see you unlock the Treasure Bonus. You then get to pick from eight treasure chest to reveal the present bestowed to you by the King. Players have three picks and after revealing the prize behind each chest, they can either keep the winnings or pick again.

King Cashalot also comes equipped with an impressive progressive jackpot that seeds at $100,00 and was standing above $660,000 at the time of writing. You do need to stake five coins per line in order to have any chance of landing the top prize and if you should receive five King Wilds on the ninth payline while doing so, the life-changing payout will be heading your way.
