King's Honour (Barcrest) – Review & Demo Play

Introduction to King's Honour

King’s Honour runs the Colossal Reels setup with a dual reel set of 5x4 and 5x12 reels with 100 paylines. It leans on stacked wilds, a sword bonus symbol, and a free spins feature packed with mini-games. The base game throws in transferring wilds and multipliers, while the side Big Bet option tweaks the way features land. I rate it as a feature-rich Barcrest slot that feels big on content without needing flashy visuals to carry the gameplay.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack in King's Honour

The Medieval fantasy theme is clear, though the two reel sets dominate the screen. Symbols are functional and card suits show up often, yet the king and the female warrior arrive as nicely drawn stacked symbols that lift the look. The audio does the heavy lifting with an orchestral, cinematic score that adds drama during feature spikes. It ends up feeling like a bold soundstage wrapped around practical art that focuses on clarity rather than ornate detail.

RTP and volatility in King's Honour

This one runs medium variance with a high 97.75 per cent RTP, which is worth fighting for. The hit profile feels balanced over longer sessions thanks to the dual screens and frequent feature teases. I find the swings manageable, with the better spikes coming from Colossal Reels moments, stacked wild movement, and the more generous free spins picks. It suits steady stake play, but it can still surprise when multipliers and wild-driven screens line up across the tall reel set.

How to play King's Honour

I check the loading screen first, as it outlines the main mechanics and feature triggers. The interface sits under the 5x4 reels, so all controls are a quick tap away. The question mark opens the full paytable and feature info. I set autospins between 10 and 200, adding optional win and loss limits when I want tighter session control.

Stake is adjusted with the plus and minus buttons, and I pick a level that fits a session budget before I start. Big Bet sits behind the BB button and offers a side mode I’ll use when I want more feature shots. Once the basics are set, it’s a case of spinning and watching for sword bonuses, stacked wilds, and any mystery triggers that roll in after near misses.

Reading the paytable helps pin down what each feature can deliver, especially the free spins picks and the pot multipliers. I keep an eye on the positions of the sword symbols on reels one, three, and five across both reel sets. When two land, I expect the Siege Spin chance to kick in, and when three or more appear, I’m ready for the Reel of Honour to decide the path forward.

Min and max bets plus top wins in King's Honour

Bets run from 0.10 to 500.00 coins per spin, so it scales well for testing or pressing harder during feature-heavy runs. The stated top win is 500x your stake, either through the Colossal Reels bonus or by lining up five kings. It takes the right setup to get there, but the route is clear enough when stacked wilds transfer and multipliers land together on the tall grid.

Five-of-a-kind pays come as multipliers. King pays 500x, the warrior queen pays 400x, crown and axes pay 200x, chalice and Stonehenge pay 150x, and card suits pay 100x. Those numbers frame the base game, but the real lift comes when wilds expand and shift to the Colossal Reels. That’s where screens fill in blocks and the bigger totals start to add up with satisfying pace.

Bonus features in King's Honour

Transferring wilds lead the line. Four vertically stacked wilds on the left reels jump to the corresponding spot on the Colossal Reels and expand. King’s Charge can land at random, pushing a chosen picture symbol onto the reels, sometimes oversized. Siege Spin triggers a respin when two bonus swords land, or when a full wild stack appears, locking what you have for another shot. The sword bonus shows on reels one, three, and five on both sets and feeds the Reel of Honour.

Reel of Honour spins for free spins or pot multipliers. Inside free spins, landing sword symbols on reels one, three, or five can trigger the Colossal Reels bonus. You then pick from five shields for that spin. Options include Wild Arrow with up to 40 wilds, Flaming Wild Arrow with locked wilds for three spins, Wild Reels turning up to four Colossal Reels wild, Extra Free Spins adding 3 to 15, and Black Knight changing card suits into high-paying symbols.

White Knight is the stronger version of that symbol change, Colossal Win Multiplier adds up to 5x, and Cash Pot pays 50x, 150x, or 500x your stake. The lineup is broad, so I scan for picks that sync with any stacked wild movement already on the screen. When flames lock wilds or when reels flip wild together, the tall set can carry the best moments across multiple spin windows.

Big Bet in King's Honour

Big Bet offers five linked spins at 20 coins with Mega Nudging Wilds active. The 30-coin option keeps Mega Nudging Wilds and adds bonus swords on all reels for more trigger coverage. I use Big Bet when I’m chasing feature density and want structured shots at the Colossal setup. It changes the feel of the session by nudging stacked wilds into place and by widening the pathways into the core bonuses.

It does not rewrite the math entirely, but it tilts more spins toward engaging moments. On good sets, the added sword coverage pairs nicely with Siege Spin chances, while nudges help finish lines that matter on the tall side. I treat it as a focused mode for a short run rather than an all-session default, using it when the base game teases have been lining up cleanly.
