Ivan and the Immortal King from Quickspin: Slot Review - an exciting Reel adventure!

Embark on a legendary quest to take down a villainous king in this hot new release from leading software provider Quickspin. This game is based on a classic Russian fairytale that’s all about an immortal king called Koschei whose life force is hidden inside of a needle, within an egg, within a duck, within a hare, within a chest! Enter the hero Ivan Tsarevich who plans on taking down the king to end his evil reign by finding the chest and breaking the needle once for all. Let’s join Ivan on this epic adventure to see what magical rewards might await us on the reels in this slot?

Ivan and the Immortal King is a 5 reel slot game with 20 paylines that includes Increasing Multipliers, Free Spins, and a Baba Yaga feature.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is that all symbols can appear as full stacks on the reels. This essentially means you have even more opportunities to land big cash prizes as you spin the reels in this slot. Symbols in the game consist of different coloured Gems, Dragons, Wolves, Elena, King Koschei, and Ivan with the latter being of the highest symbols in the game. Land 5 Ivan symbols on an active payline and you will be celebrating big time with a payout worth 100X your stake!

The Wild symbol is represented by an image of an ornate gold frame with the word ‘Wild’ displayed inside. Similar to most Wild symbols, the main job of this symbol is to replace all other symbols apart from the Bonus and Progress Scatter symbols to help form winning combinations on the reels. Much like the Ivan symbol, it also pays out 100X your stake for 5 on a payline.

As you play the game, the enigmatic witch known as Baba Yaga may appear on the reels as a random bonus feature. When she shows up, she will proceed to hide 4 random adjacent symbols on the reels which are then replaced in one of two ways:

• 1 to 3 hidden symbols are replaced with Bonus symbols to help trigger the Free Spins game or Progress Scatter symbols for the Free Spins game.
• 1 symbol is chosen at random to replace all hidden symbols to give you a guaranteed win on the reels.

This game is all about the Free Spins feature which is activated when you land 3 or more Bonus symbols on the reels. The Bonus symbol is illustrated by an image of a gold and blue chest. 3 Scatters will give you 10 Free Spins at Chest level, 4 will award 14 Free Spins at Hare level, and 5 Scatters will give you 18 Free Spins at Duck level. This all ties in really well with the Russian fairytale as you need to progress through 6 multiplier levels to make it to the Immortal King so you can defeat him once and for all. To advance through the levels, you will need to collect 3 Progressive Scatter symbols and each time you level up then you will be awarded 4 more Free Spins with the multiplier value increasing each time. Make it all the way to King Koschei and you will receive 30 Free Spins with a multiplier of 20X which kicks in for the final 4 Free Spins. It’s also worth mentioning that the Baba Yaga random bonus feature is also active here as she helps drop symbols on the reels to aid you in your quest to defeat the king.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

With this being a Quickspin game, you just know the visuals and animations are going to be top-drawer and they do not disappoint in this department I can tell you! Ivan and the Immortal King takes place in a wonderfully designed enchanted forest where a sword lies on the ground and a hidden magical cave entrance can be seen in the background. Symbols are superbly designed and consist of Ivan, King Koschei, Elena, a Dragon, a Wolf, along with a bunch of sparkling Gems. The animations are crisp as symbols fly up and down the reels rapidly and pop nicely with a bright white glow when part of a winning payline.

The music is light and melodic and features quite an enchanting soundtrack. It ties in really well with the fairytale theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 20 paylines, a good RTP of 96.29%, and a spectacular maximum payout of 40,000X your total bet.

Our Verdict on Ivan and the Immortal King

Top software studio QuickSpin created this slot and it’s another excellent game to add to their already impressive collection of fairytale inspired slots that includes Pied Piper and Rapuzel’s Tower. This game features outstanding graphics, exciting gameplay, and the perfect amount of bonus features. The standout attraction of this slot is the Free Spins feature which can take a good few spins to trigger but is entirely worth the wait as you can enjoy the benefits of extra Free Spins along with multipliers as high as 20X! Manage to make to level 6 of the Free Spins feature and fill the screen with Ivan or Wild symbols then you will pocket a spectacular top prize worth a whopping 40,000X your wager! In terms of variance, I found this slot to be High so expect to endure quite a few dry spins but with a top prize of 40,000X on offer then this game is definitely worth a few spins of your time.
