Rise of the Mountain King

Step into a world of myths and mountains with Rise of the Mountain King, a dynamic online slot by NextGen Gaming released in 2020. This game takes Zimbabwean players on a journey to a legendary realm, drawing inspiration from Norse folklore, where the majestic Mountain King reigns over his enchanted lands.

Gameplay and Features

Rise of the Mountain King uses a classic 5-reel, 3-row layout and features 30 fixed paylines. Bets can be made from as low as $0.30, up to $15 per spin, making it ideal for both casual players and those willing to wager a bit more. With an RTP of 96.31% and high volatility, the slot appeals to those seeking big win potential and exciting spins.

There’s a range of intricately-designed symbols, including stylised card royals (9 to Ace) for smaller wins, and premium icons like axes, shields, trolls, and a princess for higher payouts. The Mountain King acts as the Wild, standing in for all regular symbols to help create winning lines. The Scatter symbol is a striking red gem, unlocking the coveted free spins round.

In the King’s Respin Feature, landing three or more Wilds locks them in place for a respin. Each new Wild appearing keeps the respins coming, giving extra chances for big wins until no new Wilds land. The Rise of the Multiplier Free Spins is triggered by three, four, or five Scatters, awarding 8, 9, or 10 free spins. A unique multiplier meter ramps up the potential: collecting more scatters boosts multipliers from 5x up to 100x, with each new scatter adding another free spin and no upper cap. Only winning spins with a Wild symbol benefit from the multipliers. Some versions offer the Buy Pass feature, letting players buy instant entry to free spins for 100 times their bet, or take a 50/50 chance for half the cost. The Buy Pass increases the RTP to 96.848%.

Theme and Design

Rise of the Mountain King stands out with its beautifully illustrated backdrop, displaying a palace among the clouds atop a mountain. The compelling fantasy visuals are matched by an epic soundtrack inspired by Edvard Grieg’s "In the Hall of the Mountain King," creating an immersive and atmospheric slot experience.
