Travel worlds, build castles, get the handsome prince / beautiful princess, and spin, spin, spin… and spin again… and keep on spinning…
The Castle Builder mobile slot comes across as something of a unique beast. It’s trying to be a game, with 3 kingdoms and a storyline of sorts.
The object of the game? To build castles and play match maker to the princesses and princes of said kingdoms.
It’s meant to keep you playing, wondering what the next horizon has in store for you. Well, we can tell you that we played to the end and this is far less exciting than it first appears.
You’ll find the wins over these 15 paylines small. But then the point isn’t really to get wins in this Castle Builder slot game.
The point is to collect building material through getting 2, 3, 4 or 5 of a kind symbol wins on the building symbol. The higher the symbol win, the more you collect in three pots.
And you’ll collect enough to build a castle usually within 100 spins, many times less. So you can go through quite a few in a short space of time.
There are a total of 3 kingdoms with 10 castles each. Then the empire with 5 castles. You’ll collect medals and awards throughout. And then… you’ll start again from the beginning.
Very well asked. We have no idea.
Or in fact, we do, because we played right to the end, every last castle, and then started right at the beginning again.
So the point of Castle Builder video slot is to keep you playing to find that out. Thank-fully, we did it for you, and actually turns out that this Rabcat game isn’t particularly innovative or different.
Basically, it’s 15 paylines, with a click me feature every 100 to 150 spins. The click me feature can give you anything from 10x to 50x your bet, and is the only place you’ll get any decent wins.
You can, potentially, get more. But after playing for almost 4 hours, we didn’t see it.
Castle Builder slot is pretty, has a nice gimmick, but in the end, is just a simple low variance game to keep you spinning to the end.
We preferred to play on Potion Commotion by NextGen or the fun Wild Blood slot for less risky but more entertaining spins.

Build Castles: You progress through the game by building castles. In the first three kingdoms you build progressively more complex castles and potentially better wins through the marriage click me feature.
Every time you get a win using the building symbols, you'll collect the symbols.
Every time you get a win and collect symbols you'll fill three pots. If you get 5 symbol wins you'll collect more money than 2 symbol wins.
The Click Me Royal Wedding: Now to the three pots of cash we mentioned.
Once a castle is finished, you'll get to pick from three suitors to marry the owner of the castle.
Those three suitors pot of cash match the three pots you build with the symbols above.
The only difference is, you don't know when you pick one whether you're getting the small, medium or large pots of cash.
And don't always go for the obvious choice. The handsome prince isn't always the rich one. The choice is random.
We suspect that some of you will love the make-pretend storyline and gimmick of building castles to move to the next level.
But when the next level brings nothing new, time and time again, and it only gets harder to get the click me feature, the one and only bonus, you soon wonder why you spent all that time spinning.
If you're after something a little different, then try Spinata Grande slot by NetEnt. It's less gimmicky, but the free spin games come often and the wins are far more impressive.
Or you could read our Castle Builder 2 slot review, a game which builds on this first slot and makes it a whole load better.
