As handy as they are in a battle, Vikings also know how to have a good time if judged by this bright, busy, and fun release. If we had one slight complaint, it would be that the base game may have benefited from an extra symbol or two, with the presence of the Wilds and Random Wins only just doing enough to keep things interesting. However, the chaotic bonus round is simply excellent. Attempting to keep track of what’s going on with the 10 reel meters is no easy task, but letting it all wash over you is a thoroughly rewarding – and potentially lucrative experience. Skol!

Pub Kings Slot Bonus Features

pub kings free spins unlocked — Free spins unlocked

Free Spins Bonus

Land three Golden Shield Scatters on reels one, three, and five, and your next round will be a thirst-quenching 10 free spins.

During free spins, each of the five Viking characters is assigned to a reel. Each reel then features two meters which function as follows:

Character Meter: Collects all instances of the relevant character which appear anywhere on the reels. Collecting six Character symbols of the same type will activate the Level 1 reward for that reel. Thereafter, every third Character symbol collected triggers the next prize up the reward ladder.
Pint Meter: Collects all Pint Glasses which land on that reel.

At the end of the round, the reel with the most Pint Glasses is declared the winner, and you will be handed the reward for that reel. If there is a tie between two or more pint-happy reels, you win the highest qualifying prize.

Bonus Buy

Whilst unavailable in the UK, players in eligible jurisdictions may move straight into the Free Spins Bonus via the Bonus Buy option – priced at 100x the total bet.

Our Verdict: A frenetic bonus round which is an excellent fit for the theme. You would imagine a pub full of inebriated Scandinavian warriors might be a pretty raucous environment, and free spins are certainly rowdy, with those character symbols and pints whizzing around left, right and centre. It’s enough to make you dizzy, but thankfully, it all usually ends well with a solid payout.

Pub Kings Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.08%	Yes	High

The top-end return to player (RTP) percentage of 96.08% is a frothy head above the industry average RTP of 96%.

Pub Kings sits squarely in the high-volatility category of slots, meaning you should go into the game expecting a rollercoaster ride. On the plus side, high-volatility games provide a better chance of hitting a big win in a short session.

Our Verdict: The 96.08% RTP can’t be faulted, but you should be aware that alternative settings of 95.01% and 94.04% are also available. We always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. Given the drunken Viking theme, this couldn’t be anything other than a high-volatility release.

Pub Kings Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Birds fly behind the rocky outcrops whilst a signpost guides the way towards a rather welcoming establishment to the right. The reel symbols lie within a thematic wooden frame, with the Viking characters – all of whom look absolutely delighted with their tankard of ale – being the stars of the show.

Pub Kings (Pragmatic Play) 1 — Low value symbols form a win

Pub Kings (Pragmatic Play) 2 — Three Scatters trigger the Free Spins Bonus

Pub Kings (Pragmatic Play) 3 — Free spins in action

Pub Kings (Pragmatic Play) 4 — Free spin winnings

Audio

A rustic sea shanty provides the ambient soundtrack, with the audio team calling upon strummed lyre, twinkling harps, a jaunty squeezebox, and whistles. Against that jolly backdrop, the reel effects lean towards the minimalistic end of the spectrum, rarely rising above a few thuds or the electronic burst which greets a win.

Our Verdict: The game may take place outside the tavern but succeeds in creating a jolly old party vibe. The graphical quality is as excellent as it always is from this developer, whilst the soundtrack will soon have you tapping your feet.
