White King is a 4-row, 5-reel, 40-adjustable payline video slot set against a backdrop depicting a grassy valley with white-capped mountains just left and stony ruins to the right. The reels are teeming with white lions, white lion cubs, eagles and golden crowns. The game buttons are cleverly set in stone. There are some minor animations that bring higher-paying symbols to life, and individual payline wins are highlighted in differing colors for ease of tracking cash during gameplay. While the music is quite repetitive and a bit dull, it is also subdued enough to not detract from the overall experience.
Like many Playtech slots, White King lists cash values for Win, Line Bet, Total Bet and Balance. Each value is etched in golden numbers below the reels. Players have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of Total Cash Bet options. To select a Total Bet of 1p – £2.000 at Videoslots casino, players must both adjust the Line Bet (1p – £50) and choose a number of Lines (1 – 40). White King’s Paytable lists values in credits which remain fixed despite changes made to the bet options. This online slot auto-calculates wins by multiplying the pay by the Line Bet.
White King has 12 symbols consisting of a good mix of lion themed and generic symbols. There are 2 special symbols including a Stacked Wild and Logo Scatter. The Stacked Wild symbol is the White King himself. It can substitute for any regular symbol and can also form its own winning combos of 3 – 5 matching symbols. The Logo Scatter symbol can only appear on reels 2, 3 & 4 and is involved in triggering the Majestic Night Free Games Feature. The Scatter can also award a cash prize for a 3 of a kind match. White King has 10 regular symbols with 4 higher-paying themed symbols and 6 lower-paying card symbols. Listed in order of highest to lowest value, they include: Crown, Lioness, Eagle, Cubs, Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10 and 9.
This online slot’s gameplay is left to right with the exception of the Logo Scatter. Get 3+ matching symbols to form a winning combo. Profitable payline wins vary with the number of paylines selected in the bet options. When all 40 are active, players must get 3+ Stacked Wilds – Logo Scatters, 4+ higher-paying regular symbols or 5+ of any symbol to profit along a single payline. When 20 are active, players must get 3+ Crowns, Wilds & Scatters, 4+ Jacks – Crowns or 5+ of any to profit. With only 1 payline active, players can get 3+ of any matching symbol to achieve a single payline profit.
The highest value symbol of White King is the Wild which shows a value of (1.000, 200, 50) giving this online slot the potential to award up to £50.000 for a 5 of a kind match at Videoslots casino. The next highest paying symbol is the Crown which shows a value of (400, 100, 30). Getting a 5 of a kind match could award as much as £20.000.
Special Features
White King’s Autoplay offers players the chance to select 10, 25, 50 or 99 automatic spins. In addition, players can press a larger ‘stop’ button to quickly stop the reels and a smaller ‘stop’ button to end Autoplay. Additional Game Settings offered by this online slot include: click the ‘Turbo Mode’ button to enable Turbo Play, view Game History and either adjust or switch volume on/off.
Majestic Night Free Games: The appearance of 3 Logo Scatters on reels 2, 3 & 4 triggers a round of 5 initial Free Games. An additional 3 Scatters on the reels will trigger another round of 5 Free Games. There is no limit to the number of times that this Bonus can be re-triggered.
Stacked Wilds: Wilds can appear in stacked formation on the reels during either Main gameplay or Free Games mode. This Bonus helps players to achieve multiple payline wins each spin. If all 5 reels were to be covered in Stacked Wilds, a huge win of anywhere from 1.000x – 40.000x the Line Bet would be awarded depending on the number of paylines selected.
White King keeps things uncomplicated which can be appealing for those that like slots on the simpler side of the spectrum. Big wins may take a while to trigger as this is a high variance slot. A major disadvantage is the low RTP value. Also, players accustomed to slots that offer Free Spins with additional advantages such as Win Multipliers, Special Symbols or Wild Features may find themselves a bit bored by White King’s version. That said, this is a decent pick for anyone that appreciates the option to wager 1p each spin, quality graphics and simplicity of design.
