Royal Spins Pokie
This traditional online pokie from IGT may not be the most sophisticated-looking game, but it’s still got a couple of interesting features to keep players spinning the 5 reels. Alongside the classic fruit symbols, there’s some valuable 7’s and the royal crown, all set against the backdrop of a room in the castle, but looks can be deceiving, as the Royal Spins video pokie comes with bonus games where every spin is a guaranteed winner, multipliers, wins formed from either side of the reels and there’s even a progressive jackpot.
It may not be enough to buy a palace with, but it’s a regal sum that’s well worth claiming when the right symbols turn up. There’s only 5 paylines running across this pokie, making the minimum stake 0.05 per spin, although players can sample free Royal Spins video pokies at many sites. The high limit is a generous 150.00, and to win a prize in the base game, 3 or more identical symbols will be needed across a line on adjacent reels, although as this can run from either side, it’s a little easier to line them up favourably.
Playing Royal Spins
Classic fruit symbols fill most of these reels, all presented in a fairly basic cartoon style which suits the basic nature of the main game, although once the bonuses are triggered, it becomes one of the more interesting real money online pokies. The lowest value wins occur when lining up the cherries, with 2x, 5x or 25x the amount staked per line awarded for landing 3, 4 or 5 of them. Oranges and plums are worth successively more, while the bell and red 7 top out the pay table, at wins of 25x, 100x or 1000x the line bet paid out for the 7 symbol.

Crown Bonus
The symbol that players will be wanting to see is the crown, and landing this royal symbol on any 3 consecutive reels at once triggers the free spins bonus game. If just 3 turned up, then 3 spins will begin, although 4 at once will start 5 free games and there’s 10 extra spins for anyone who has a full line of crowns across the reels, in any positions on each.
The real beauty of these spins is that every one of them is guaranteed to win a prize, and the amount depends on how many crowns land in each, so although it’s quite possible that only 3 spins will play out, there’s still some decent wins to be had.
If no crowns land on a spin, players still win 1x the total bet, 1 crown equals a prize of 2x, 2 of them will return a prize of 6x, and 3 crowns pays out 12x. Anyone who manages to land 4 crowns in a free spin wins 48x their stake, with the top award of 200x reserved for anyone landing 4 crowns at once, and these are all on top of any other winning combinations that may be spun up.
Jackpot Bonus
Each time 5 cherries make up a winning line, a cherry icon will be lit in the bar below the reels. Once all 7 are lit, the progressive jackpot is won, but it gets better than that, as any 7’s that make up a winning line will increase a jackpot multiplier.
The progressive amount increases by the number of 7’s that appeared, multiplied by the line bet, so anyone landing the perfect combination of 7’s is going to trigger a decent progressive win, although it’s not the biggest found across casino pokie machines and isn’t worth millions.
The Verdict
This is an unusual online casino video pokie, that manages to look fairly traditional, but carries within it a couple of unique bonus rounds. The free spins are a real treat, as not many games offer players the guarantee that each spin will be a winner, so anyone who triggers just 3 games will win at least 3 prizes and the maximum of 10 spins could potentially bring in lots more than 10 prizes.
Although the progressive jackpot isn’t massive, and players need to fill the cherry bar up in a single session, it’s still worth spinning these reels, as even the base game can be quite enjoyable, especially as there’s only 5 paylines and wins can be created in either direction.
