Three scatters award fifteen free spins here, and so do five — the count never moves. My three triggers across 520 spins came to 23% of everything won back. Inside the feature every win pays triple, and the elephant that substitutes is already worth double before that.
Launched on 15 June 2008, Adventure Palace is built using 5 reels, 3 rows and 9 paylines, and, fairly volatile, rated 3 out of 5, it has an RTP of 96.10%. I played 520 spins of it at 1.00 a spin, starting from a balance of 2,000.00.
Visually, Adventure Palace has a jungle theme to it, and it may not be the finest looking slot I've ever seen. Six Acrobats and Mega Money Multiplier, two more Games Global nine-liners, both arrived in 2017, nine years after this one. Still, there's something very captivating about it. My balance peaked at 2,009.20 on spin 7 and never got back to that mark; 513 spins later it stood at 1,788.00, a return of 59.2%.
Working through the paytable, I can see that its dominated by the lower-value symbols. The figures in the help panel are printed in cash at a bet level the game never states, so there is no converting them into multiples of your own stake. Those are depicted by the customary card ranks, while more lucrative are the picture symbols of the cranes, the peacock, the lemur, the cobra and the tiger. The tiger and the lemur sit level with each other for five of a kind, and the cranes and the cobra share their five-symbol pay as well. The elephant is the wild. Of my 520 spins, 134 returned something, and 72 of those paid back less than the 1.00 I had staked. It stands in for all symbols except the scatter, and it pays 2x when it substitutes, so a line the elephant completes is worth twice the listed pay; it also creates its own line, and it is the highest symbol on the table. The best base game win I had was 30.00 on spin 209, thirty times the stake. The palace is the scatter. Two palaces anywhere in view are already enough to pay. It pays in any position rather than on a line, and scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet, while wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel on adjacent reels only. My longest run with nothing at all was 23 spins, ending on spin 237, which is the sort of gap the volatility rating points at. Only the highest win on a line is paid. Across the whole run I won 308.00 back from the 520.00 I wagered.
Adventure Palace arrives with one feature, and to set off the bonus, you will have to land 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere in view. That happened three times in my 520 spins, on spins 252, 415 and 508. Upon doing so, you will be awarded 15 free spins. None of my three rounds retriggered, so each of them ran its 15 and stopped there. It is the same 15 whether three, four or five scatters land. The first, on spin 252, paid 46.90 from a 1.00 stake, the same 46.9x that the round in my captured frames returned across its own 15 spins. All wins are multiplied 3x for the duration, and the feature can be retriggered. A line the elephant completes inside the feature carries both multipliers, its own 2x for substituting and the 3x on top. Bet and lines are fixed to the triggering spin. The other two rounds were smaller, 12.0x on spin 415 and 13.0x on spin 508, and the three together made up 23% of everything I won.


Our Minty Verdict: Three bonus rounds returned 71.90 of the 308.00 this run won back, 23% of the total, and the nine lines between them mostly paid card ranks worth less than the stake. A 59.2% return over 520 spins is one feature doing all the work and not doing much of it.
Adventure Palace is a simple slot, as you have probably worked out already. The free spins are the only thing to wait for, and in my run the first came on spin 252, the next 163 spins after it and the last 93 spins after that. That is not a poor thing by any means, and in fact, I'm glad to see Games Global stick with something more simple and basic instead of something more complex that demands a bit more brain effort from players. The low point of my session was 1,782.30, and I finished 212.00 behind where I started. To conclude, Adventure Palace is a sound release that will give players plenty of tense gameplay, and, fairly volatile, it comes with a max win of 3333x.
