Behold! It’s IGT’s New Medieval Money Slot Out 24th August

We have to admit, at first we weren’t enamoured with this slot, which seems at first glance to look a little bit generic and old fashioned.

But we’re fair people and we like to give mobile phone slots a chance to prove themselves – and we have to say, in this case this Medieval Money slot might just be worthwhile.

The Medieval Money slot video preview

Before we get to all the details, here’s a 1 min 38 slot video:

Though the reels themselves look a little dated, the castle graphics in the background are actually pretty cool – and the stacks of cash at the bottom of the screen have to be a good sign.

Of course, anyone who likes a Medieval slot theme will find this right up their jousting field.

We suppose that, considering the theme is slightly archaic, we can let the old-looking reels slide a little bit. At least it sets the scene – and with a soundtrack to dance around the king’s court to, you can really get into that medieval mindset.

It certainly a contrast to NetEnt’s Secret of Atlantis slot out 22nd of August, and that same week.

Less of the medieval, more of the money

So let’s get down to the important stuff. As you can see, there are bonus features galore. Anything with this many bonus rounds has to be worth a try, right?

Maybe, depends on the bonus features in question. Are they there to look pretty, or will they give you genuinely good wins?

And whilst the base game in this Medieval Money slot might feel a little dull, watch out for three of the archery scatter symbols on the middle three reels.

This is how you activate the Archery Picker bonus, where you then have the chance to unveil the bonus feature quest by hitting one of nine targets, triggering one of the four features below.

The best bonus games in this IGT slot:

The good news is that IGT slot machines don’t tend to hide their numbers, they’ve told us straight which are the most profitable of the features.

Or, as we suspect, which you’ll get more often and which will be harder to find (hint: it’s bound to be the one with that 200x your bet, isn’t it?).

• Moneybags Bonus: Select your own winnings by clicking on one of three moneybags and collect up to 50x your bet
• The Joust Free Spins Bonus: Show your opponent who’s boss with seven free spins, where all symbols the colour of the winning jouster become wild.
• Spell Picker Bonus: You will enter a dark, magical workshop and take your place opposite the wizard, where you’ll be offered five mystery objects. You can reject or accept any one of them – but choose carefully, because their value varies between 2 and 100 times your stake.
• The Dragon Path Bonus: Spin the wheel to progress further and further along the path until you come into contact with a (hopefully friendly and generous) dragon. Obviously, the closer to the dragon you get, the more you win – we’ve heard there’s up to 200 times your bet up for grabs if you manage to reach the dragon’s treasure trove. Just try to avoid the skulls or the feature will end.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the wealthiest of them all? Well, trigger all 4 bonuses and it might just be you.

That said, this game will live and die by how often you can trigger those scatters and these bonuses.

If you have to wait 300 odd spins, like you do in the Wolf Run slot by the same provider, we doubt the theme alone will keep us spinning.

So how does this Medieval Money slot compare?

So now that we’ve established that the theme isn’t quite as boring as we first thought, and there’s plenty of features to keep you occupied, it’s time to look a little bit more at the game mechanics.

Let’s have a look at the stats:

• 5 reels, 3 rows
• 20 paylines
• Min/max bet: £0.20/£600.00
• Slot volatility: medium to low
• Return to player: 92.4% to 96.3%
• 4 bonus rounds
• 2-high stacked logo symbols in the base game
• You’ll get the Android and iphone/ipad slot at the same time as the online release

Obviously, this isn’t a very high volatility slot, so don’t expect to come back to modern life with the riches of the entire royal family – but there is definitely potential for big wins as with all IGT slot machines.

On the bright side it bodes well for your budget; the latest Wheel of Fortune on Tour slot game is the same volatility and the bonus features are frequent enough that you’re hopeful about catching those bigger wins.

Worth waiting for?

So the bonus rounds look interesting and plentiful, the wins should be pretty frequent, the graphics and soundtrack are smooth and effective, and the controls are simple and uncomplicated.

The only real chink in this Medieval Money slot armour is the initial look of the game, but if you stick around long enough to look past that, we’re hoping it will be worth your while.

Meanwhile, before playing the Medieval Money slot  on the 24th…

If you like the theme, we suggest you enter Sherwood forest in NextGen’s Robin Hood: Prince of Tweets whilst you wait.

That said, if you’re looking for something with similar slot mechanics but a less cheesy theme, IGT have two recommendations.

The first is the Silent Movie slot, namely because it has four different bonus games available. But for our bet, we’d rather play on the brilliantly funny Family Guy mobile game, which has far more lively action.

Personally, we’re looking forward to seeing whether Medieval Money mobile slot lives up to our expectations come 24th of August 2016.

Till then, you can find all the slots above at Vera & John casino, who give you 10 free spins no deposit + 100% up to £€$200 on your first deposit, exclusively at LuckyMobileSlots.com.
