Rise of the Mountain King is a 5 reel slot from NextGen Gaming that has 30 fixed paylines. This highly volatile slot includes a wild respin feature, and a free spin bonus where a maximum multiplier of 100x can be reached.

The minimum stake to play Rise of the Mountain King is just €0.30, with the maximum bet reaching €15 a spin. In total there are 6 bet sizes that range from €2.10 down to the minimum bet, so players with all sized bankrolls should be able to find a stake that is comparable to their playing budget.

The Kings wild re-spin is a feature that can trigger during both the base game and the free spin feature. If 3 or more wilds land in view on the reels then firstly any winnings will be paid to you, then all symbols including the wilds will be locked into place. The reels will again spin with only wilds present and overlaying all symbols that are locked, if any additional wilds lands then you will be paid for any winning lines and the process will continue again. When no additional wilds land you will be paid for any winnings that are present on the reels.

So in summary, if you trigger this feature then you will be paid for the same win at least twice.  When this comes in to play during the bonus round the wilds have multipliers attached to them which we will discuss shortly, so the wins truly can be massive.

The free spin feature is triggered on Rise of the Mountain King by 3 or more of the scatter symbols landing anywhere in view. It will make a difference on this game if you trigger the bonus with more scatters, and below you can see the possible starting triggers that are on offer.

• 3 Scatters = 8 Free Spins.
• 4 Scatters = 9 Free Spins.
• 5 Scatters = 10 Free Spins.

Before the free spins begin your scatters will be added to the wild multiplier meter at the top of the screen, this means that you will always start the bonus round with a guaranteed wild multiplier value of x5. The aim of the bonus is to collect as many of the scatter symbols as possible, each one that you collect will award you with one additional free spin, as well as moving you one position along the multiplier meter. Any wins that involve the wilds will be multiplied by the value that they hold, so this can produce some outstanding wins.

Don't forget as we previously mentioned that the Kings re-spin feature can also trigger during the bonus, so if your wilds have a high multiplier value and this comes in to play, then you really could be breaking the bank on this slot.

If you'd like the chance to increase any winnings that you achieve then you can do so through the card gamble on Rise of the Mountain King. Successfully guessing the next coloured card will double your current win, whilst correctly guessing the suit of the next card will multiply your current winnings by 4.

If you are playing from a region where bonus buys have not been restricted, then you will be able to gain instant access to the free spin feature on Rise of the Mountain King for the cost of 100x your stake. 

The highly volatile Rise of the Mountain King is an outstanding effort from NextGen and a game that we rate very highly indeed. Players may instantly recognise it's similarity to a previous slot from NextGen named 300 Shields, or even Play'n Go's The Sword and The Grail.

This formula of bonus round has proved to be highly popular, and the latest adaptation of it in this slot we feel will be a roaring success. The potential to hit something substantial during the feature is there for all to see, and with the Kings Re-spin also present in this slot we get the feeling there will be some big wins produced from this game.
