Monster Quest Slot by Big Time Gaming

The Knight is the one to keep an eye on. He walks onto every bonus round carrying a random value between 8x and 15x your stake, and he spends the whole time hunting the red Monsters scattered across the board. Any Monster worth the same as him or less gets cut down, and its cash value folds straight into his running tally. That blue armoured portrait is your collector, not a payout on its own.

Land six or more of the cash-value Bonus Symbols and the Dragon Prize round begins. Every position on the grid splits into its own little reel, each one able to throw out fresh Monsters. Here's the catch: the Knight only gets three lives. A spin that turns up no new Monster and slays nothing burns one, while every Monster he kills hands one back, capped at three. Three lives sounds generous until a couple of blank spins in a row end the round early. It runs until he's out of lives, the board packs completely full, or he takes down the golden Dragon itself, worth anything from 1,888x up to a massive 28,888x stake. Regular Monsters top out around 1,750x each. The three Megapots, random Mini, Midi and Mega values shown above the reels, only drop inside this round and nowhere else in the game.

Three or more Scatters instead award 12 free spins, plus 2 for every Scatter past the third. The Knight stays on screen the whole run, still slaying Monsters, but a second layer joins in: a win multiplier on your regular gem and royal payouts that opens at x1 and steps up by one for each Monster he cuts down. Get five or more Monsters onto the board at once and the Dragon Prize round fires mid-feature.

The reels are built into the stone battlements of a castle, two towers bracketing the grid under a bright daytime sky with distant spires and green hills. Paying symbols run from cut gemstones, green, blue, red and purple crystals, down to gold-outlined royals on cracked-stone tiles, with a rainbow crystal Wild covering everything except the Scatters and Bonus Symbols. Six reels reach up to 117,649 ways, and the count swings hard between spins, sometimes dropping into the low thousands. A Power Play toggle floors that at 10,000 ways for 8x your stake per spin. Don't fancy the wait? The Dragon Prize buys in at 35x and the free spins at 90x, with Feature Drop coins shaving those prices down when they land.
