Who is Rook and why is he set on revenge? We’ll see what we can find out as we load and play the Rook’s Revenge slot game. However, you can soon see this game has a lot to delight in, so let’s not delay – let’s make sure we can find out what’s involved as we arrive at the first part of our review below.
Which developer offers this game?
Rook’s Revenge is a strong slot offering from Betsoft.
Don’t miss your chance to try the demo game
It is identical to the real one. The only difference, of course, is that it costs nothing to play. It comes with 1,000 credits inside the game, so while you cannot withdraw them, you can use them to learn how everything works.
Can you figure out the theme?
Rook is an Aztec chief, so it seems that we are heading to Aztec times to play this one.
Another strong design from this developer
Think Betsoft and the first thing that pops into your mind is 3D imagery, right? That’s true of this game as well, so you can look out for lots of 3D Aztec symbols on the reels. The whole thing has a block design too, so rather than having spinning reels, you’ve got blocks dropping into a frame. When they land, they even give off a puff of dust!
How to play the Rook’s Revenge slot game
Five reels appear here, although as we said, the icons on each one land as block shapes. You still get three per reel though. One thing you don’t get is a progressive jackpot.
Look for a circular golden symbol as this is a wild. While it only shows up on the middle three reels, it is powerful enough to replace everything – even the scatter symbol. This is a golden mask and can land on the first three reels of the game.
How many lines are available here?
It takes just a second to work out there are 25 lines to bet on.
Adjust your bet from the default loading coin
This is worth 10 cents, but the minus button drops it as low as one cent. The plus button goes to a maximum of one dollar. Meanwhile, you can also go up to five coins per line if you want to.
Make sure you read through the paytable
It shows you all the prize amounts for each symbol. Be aware that the prize amounts are in cash, so they’ll change if you increase or decrease your bet amount for that spin.
Bonus features to search for during play
The first thing to note is the multiplier feature that kicks into play whenever you get a winning combo appearing anywhere on the reels. The symbols that form the combo disappear after you’re paid your prize. The multiplier then jumps to the next level before new blocks complete the grid. If this results in another prize, you receive that and the blocks disappear again, sending the multiplier higher and dropping new blocks into place once more. If this happens enough times in a row, the maximum multiplier of 5x is applied to prizes. Once you get a losing spin, you return to the 1x multiplier.
Free spins from the golden mask
You need three of these landing on an active payline on the first three reels to count as a trigger for the free spin round. You can retrigger them too if you find them in another winning combination.
The increasing multiplier feature for prize-winning combinations also happens during the free spin round. However, in this case, the base multiplier is 3x and it can increase to 15x at most, which is surely a cool feature to trigger if you can.
RTP details for Rook’s Revenge
We’ve seen various values attached to this game, but we believe the value comes in at around the 94.5% mark. This is lower than we prefer to see for a slot.
Did we like this slot game?
We did, although the lower RTP makes it less appealing than it would otherwise be. We have seen other slots using the increasing multiplier feature, but this slot has been available for several years now and was one of the first to reveal it. It was groundbreaking in a sense, then, and we think scoring this one at 8/10 would be fair.
Check out the maximum coin return from the game
When the game loads, you can meet Rook on the loading screen. You’ll also discover that the most you could grab from the game, if everything falls into place for you, is a whopping 2,330,000 credits!
Play some demo spins to learn more
It’s hard to know exactly how things work unless you play the game and see how the action pans out. Meet Rook and decide whether you’re happy to play only the demo.
Play for real once you’ve worked out some wagers
Betsoft gives you a lot of variety in the betting stakes. Always go from the lowest wager though, as this ought to be affordable for you.
