How The Royal Family bonuses work

When at least 3 Scatter symbols appear on the grid, the free spins bonus function is triggered. 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols trigger 8, 16 or 24 free spins respectively. A new interface is unveiled inside the castle. During the free spins, some royal character symbols can turn into sticky WILDs.

There is another way to get free spins thanks to the Feature Prizes: you have to collect two coat of arms symbols on a reel to get a minimum of 8 free spins. The Feature Prizes associated with the coat of arms will be active during the free spins. Rare Feature Prizes can also be collected.

Finally, the Royal Chest feature is triggered when a chest appears at any time on the fifth reel. 5 cards are then revealed with an associated payout, then turned face down and the player must select one of them at random. He wins the prize associated with the chosen card. In the basic game, the prizes obtained can be cash (up to x100 the initial bet) or free spins (8, 16 or 24) while in the free spins bonus feature, they can be sticky WILDs (1 to 3) or additional free spins (2, 3 or 4).
