Three shell Scatters on spin 144 were the only Guardian Bonus in 400 spins, and its 200 credits were 14% of what came back. The balance finished at its lowest point, 7,406 credits, and never once rose above the 10,000 it started from.
Kingdoms Rise: Guardians of the Abyss is a video slot with 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines. Wins pay for matching symbols on a payline, and the Wild substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter. These are wagerable from 0.10 to 300 credits, and the slot offers 3 Guardian features inside a free spins round. The game is also linked to three progressive jackpots called Daily Strike, Power Strike and Epic Jackpot.
Kingdoms Rise: Guardians of the Abyss contains low value symbols - jewels and weapons. Five of a kind pays 2x to 4x the bet for the gems and 6x to 10x the bet for the Guardian weapons. It contains 3 high value symbols, and these are depicted by figures in the shape of Odeon, Akali and Jax. Five Odeon symbols pay 40x the bet, five Akali 30x and five Jax 20x, while five Wilds pay 50x.
There are golden coins attached at random to paying symbols. 3% of the RTP is allocated to this token feature. When collected, they add tokens for the Kingdoms Rise Shop. Kingdoms Rise: Chasm of Fear is another game in the Kingdoms Rise series that uses the same Kingdoms Rise Shop tokens.
Wild Vortex Respins with 1, 2 or 3 additional Wilds enabled are bought with 300, 750 or 1,500 tokens. Wilds shift toward the vortex on each respin, and the feature ends once all Wilds have been absorbed.
The 3 Guardian features are:
By landing 3+ shell Scatters, the free spins round can be activated. Scatters in a golden frame on the triggering spin bring bigger prizes than those in a silver frame.
The Minty Summary: 4,000 credits went in and 1,406 came back, a 35.2% session return against a stated 96.09%, and the one Guardian Bonus I drew paid 20x the stake.
The balance never climbed above the 10,000 credits it began with when I tested the slot. It finished at 7,406 credits, which was also its lowest point. 400 spins at 10 credits yielded 1,406 credits, and one can merely wish they got the calculations correct at least. The longest run without a win lasted 19 spins and ended on spin 48.
There are meant to be Guardian features. The bonus cannot be retriggered, so each round is limited to the free spins revealed by the 2nd shell. But I got to see the Guardian Bonus only once. It was triggered by three shell Scatters and took the balance from 9,074 to 9,264 credits. That was on spin 144, and it awarded 20x the stake. That 200-credit payout made up 14% of everything won in the session.
The slot carries a 96.09% RTP. Over the 400 spins, 109 paid out, and 63 of those paid less than the 10-credit stake.
