Free slot: Crown of Valor

How Crown of Valor works

After Nero's Fortune and the Roman Empire, here you are in the medieval era, attacking a castle and its treasure, facing the last wall standing. Axe throwing and dynamite are your main assets to reach your goal. Crown of Valor is a slot machine developed by the online gaming provider Quickspin and is available at most online casinos, as of March 09, 2021. This slot machine is extremely volatile, with a payout rate to players of 96%. It can potentially multiply your starting bet by 15,500.

We find a wall of 25 cells with 5 columns of 5 reels. The goal is to make connections that remove used symbols from the grid in order to drop new ones. This is called a Tumble. Each wild used in a payout connection adds +1 to the win multiplier, which only resets after the spin is completed or at the end of the free spins bonus. For a connection to be validated, a group of 5 identical symbols must be in contact. On the side of the grid is a gauge. It fills up during the base game, adding 1 point to its counter when at least one connection is made during a Tumble. When it reaches 18, the Wild Fire feature is triggered: The camera angle shifts slightly to make room for the assault. 4 Wilds are randomly thrown on the grid to improve the chances of getting wins.

The different symbols of Crown of Valor

In addition to the Wilds and the Bonus symbol, there are 8 symbols in Crown of Valor :

• Minor symbols are more recurring, but pay less. They are represented by the high values in a deck of cards (J-Q-K-A).

• The premium symbols are rarer, but have a higher value. They are represented by animal heads and a crown.

The different connections in Crown of Valor

There are no predefined paylines in Crown of Valor. You must connect clusters of at least 5 identical symbols to win. The winning symbols are then removed to let the symbols above them tumble, offering the possibility of multiple connections in the same game round.

How the Crown of Valor bonus works

To discover the true potential of Crown of Valor, you'll have to try out its bonus feature. To do so, you need to get at least 3 bonus symbols in one spin:

• 3 bonus symbols will trigger 10 free spins.

• 4 bonus symbols will trigger 14 free spins.

• 5 bonus symbols trigger 18 free spins.

Throughout the free spins, as in the base game, each wild symbol used in a winning connection adds +1 to the win multiplier. But, during the bonus, each tumble also adds +1 to the multiplier. The special thing is that this multiplier only resets once the free spins bonus is over.
