The King Pokie Machine

There are two kinds of kings in this world. No, we’re not talking about Elvis. You’ve got The King of rock ‘n roll, Elvis Presley and you’ve got The King of the Jungle – the lion.

This final review is about the last one. Isoftbet and The King have released a very nice online lock that focuses on the lion. He is stacked, wild and roars his lungs out in a winning combination.

But this The King has a lot more to offer: free spins with linked reels (the so called King Spins) and a very lucrative rad bonus.

Game Rules

The King is played on 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols. There are 25 fixed winning lines and the minimum bet is 0.25 dollar per spin. More bets are also possible of course: the maximum bet is 50 dollars per spin. The payout percentage is an excellent 96,01%. It may not be high enough to get into our top 10 best paying pokies, but that doesn’t make it bad – on the contrary.

The variance is medium, which makes this a suitable video pokie for gamblers who like a little risk.

Symbols and Payouts

The theme is clearly the jungle and we come across many animals as a symbol. The lion is not only wild, but also pays out the most. Turn 5 wilds on an active winline and you will receive 500 coins.

The other premium symbols are the elephant, the rhino, the buffalo and the zebra. At least we notice how beautifully these animals are designed. The pokies of iSoftbets were not really known in the past for their high quality graphics, but they seem to have taken a different path in 2018. Always nice to see how pokie providers develop over the years.

Of all the other animals, the elephant pays out the most with a 5-or-a-child: 400 coins. The other animals are good for between 150 and 300 coins for the same 5. The card symbols J, Q, K and A pay out between 50 and 100 coins.

Cash Wheel Bonus

The Cash Wheel Bonus is a very fun bonus, which is activated as soon as there are 6 or more Cash Wheel symbols on the screen. As of 5 Cash Wheel symbols, the respin feature will be started and you may try to add as many Cash Wheel symbols as possible.

The more Cash Wheel symbols, the more valuable the wheel you are allowed to spin:

• 6 -10 symbols activate the Super Cash Wheel.
• 11 – 14 symbols activate the Mega Cash Wheel
• 15 symbols or more activate the Epic Cash Wheel

Then you may turn the wheel once, hoping for a nice prize. On the Epic Cash Wheel you can spin no less than 100,000 coins, which of course is absurd. On the maximum bet of 2 dollars per winning line, this amounts to 200,000 dollars.

Free Spins Bonus

3 scattered paw prints on reels 1, 3 and 5 activate the free spins bonus: the King Spins. With these free spins, 2 reels are always synchronized with each other, for extra chances of big prizes.

Unfortunately, the free spins cannot be triggered – so you’ll have to do it with 8 spins. Luckily, the lion is also here to help you get those big payouts. Not only is he the king of the jungle, he is also your own personal friend at this pokie.

The payout percentage is great and the medium variance also fits our street perfectly.

Conclusion

The King is an entertaining video pokie with nice graphics. Remarkable is that it actually mixes two styles: the basic game and the free spins are typically a video pokie, the big wheel of fortune is really more of a pokie machine bonus.
