Have you ever wondered what would it be like to live in the time of knights, castles, gallantry, and bravery in battlefield? What would it be like to be a lady for whose love knights fight, or a rich, brave knight who is beloved by his people for this generosity and good will? What would it be like to have as much money as they do? To live in a castle full of riches? You can find an answer to this and many other questions in RTG’s new video slot – “Realm of Riches.”

This 5-reel, 20-payline progressive slot takes you to a period in distant history – the time of sword and spear, the place where many feasts took place, and many battles were fought. It’s the same period when the main protagonists of this slot held all the wealth in the country – king, knights, noble ladies, all of them governed the course of history with their money. And all of them are here to help you win and become as noble as they are.

If you’d like to join them for a brief time, and feel the taste of richness, you’ll need to place a coin into the slot machine. Coins can go from $0.01 up to $5, and if played on all 20 lines, you are allowed to place a maximum bet of $100 per spin. This is a lot, indeed, but smaller bets are quite modest and they can fit any pocket. Speaking of which, your pockets may be filled with money regardless of the bet amount –since progressive jackpot can be won at the end of each spin, and it’s awarded completely randomly.

Wild Symbol:

The ultimate symbol of richness – a crown is one of the most important symbols in “Realm of Riches.” It is there to replace all other symbols in order to form a winner. This, unfortunately, doesn’t work for scattered shields.

Scatter Symbol:

Two or more scattered shields, appearing from left to right, will trigger a re-spin feature, in which the reels with shields are stopped, and others spin once again, for free. If you get three or more shields left to right in this feature, or during an ordinary spin, you will be awarded with up to 25 free spins (you get 10 for 3 scatters, 15 for 4, and 25 for all 5). If you get a Crown symbol during the free spins, it will expand, and turn the entire reel into a big wild symbol. It’s also possible to win a re-spin feature during the free spins.

Apart from this high number of chances to win, “Realm of Riches” has one downside – there’s no multiplier in it, so the winnings sometimes remain lower than you’d expect. But even so, it allows you to win much; perhaps not enough to buy an island and make yourself a king, but there will be enough for a few days of easy life. But who knows, everything’s possible in the kingdom of riches.
