Medieval Mania - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

You might think it’s a fairytale, or a Disney movie, but Medieval Mania is actually a 5-reel slot from 1x2 Gaming. This isn’t about the dirt and blood of the Middle Ages, but about a King, Knight and Princess in an epic quest that could lead to romance, accompanied by 20 paylines and a chance at free spins.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

We all know that the Middle Ages, otherwise known as the Medieval Period (generally considered between around 500 AD and 1500 AD) was a time when noble knights rode around rescuing beautiful princesses from towering castles, right? Well, it probably wasn’t exactly like that really, but it makes a good story, and a good theme for a slot.

The world of Medieval Mania looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale. You’re stood at the treeline where a path leads up to a majestic castle, all painted in bright colours. The reels themselves are made to resemble a castle’s stone wall, with the King, Princess and Knight symbols appearing in the windows. It all creates a charming impression, as does the merry Medieval tune playing in the background.

Medieval Mania RTP and Variance

The theoretical average return of Medieval Mania is 96.08%. That’s pretty good by the standards of most modern slots, but do note the 'theoretical' and 'average' designations. It’s not a guarantee. The variance is medium to high, suggesting a fairly balanced slot where nevertheless wins lean towards the fewer but larger, rather than small and frequent. With free play slots, returns are less of a worry because at least you’re not risking real money.

How to Play Medieval Mania

Mount your trusty steed and get ready for your quest:

1. The first page you see when you load gives you the option to play with or without sound (you can change this in your settings later). Then you’ll see a brief info page before the reels appear.
2. Once you can see the reels you can start with your settings. Just look at the little tab on the left of the screen. There’s another mute/unmute button, and there’s a menu button that you can use to open more options.
3. It’ll take you straight to the general settings page. You can enable or disable sound effects, background music, the loading help screen, display in coins, quickspin, require spin button for free spins, switch control side and press spacebar to spin.
4. There’s also a link here to the autoplay page, but you don’t want that just yet. Look instead to the tab on the right. At the top is a little 'i' that will take you to a more in depth game guide with rules, features and a description of every control.
5. Back on the righthand tab there’s also a button that looks like a trophy to send you to the paytable. There’s a also a little clock for game history (not available in fun mode).
6. Another setting that you may want to adjust is found back on the main screen. The button in the bottom left corner looks like a stack of coins. There you’ll see your current bet, plus and minus symbols to raise or lower it and bolder plus and minus symbols to go straight to the maximum or minimum.
7. Now it’s time to think about autoplay. If you know you fancy a long session and don’t want to have to keep pressing spin (which you can do through the big button on the right), you can set the reels to keep turning automatically.
8. Either go back to settings or use the smaller button above spin to set things like number of spins, loss limit, single win limit, or stopping points on either any win or triggered feature. Once you’ve done that, all that’s left is your budget (see you current balance at the bottom of the screen) and have fun.

Always play responsibly and stick to your budget.

Bet & Win Sizes

The bet adjustor will give you a range between a 0.20 minimum and 50.00 maximum, which is OK but not huge.

Win when you match consecutive symbols from left to right across a payline. Calculate the value of your win from the product of the multiplier (displayed on the paytable) and your bet, divided by the number of lines.

On the paytable, you’ll see the following for each symbol and combination:

J, Q - 4,10, 13

K, A - 8, 25, 50

Goblet, Helmet - 10, 50, 100

Arms - 25, 80, 200

Knight - 30, 100, 300

Princess - 40, 200, 500

King - 50, 300, 800

Medieval Mania Free Spins

Its features aren’t quite as complex as Templar Tumble slot, but you’ll be excited to hear there’s a free spins round available in Medieval Mania. All you have to do is find 3 scatter symbols (the ones that look a bit like a shield). You’ll be awarded 5 free spins at first, but you’ll also get 1 extra free spin whenever you find a wild during the round. Even more excitingly, during the free spins round wilds also become sticky, meaning they stay in place until the feature is over, possibly increasing your chance of a line.

Medieval Mania Review

Medieval Mania is full of style and charm, making it a worthy addition to our 1x2 Gaming slots library. An immersive theme and smooth gameplay should keep you smiling, as should the special free spins round, even if the medium to high volatility can mean it take a while to find a win.
