The Monarchy Rules in Rising Royals

Rising Royals is a new online slot which takes players into the stylish world of the French aristocracy. Created exclusively for Microgaming by Just For The Win, this game gives everyone the chance to unwind in the opulent surroundings of the Palace of Versailles. Combining class with humour, the characters in Rising Royals wear wigs and elaborate outfits so that you can focus on enjoying the ball and hopefully land yourself a useful win or two along the way.

Vive La Monarchie!

This is a five-reel slot with twenty pay lines, and the action takes place in the gardens of the famous Palace of Versailles, which was the main residence of royals until the start of the French Revolution. Today the Château de Versailles is a popular tourist destination, but Rising Royals takes you all the way back to the time when the monarchy reigned, and that gave the game designers plenty of room to have some fun.

Symbols featuring in this game include the playing card ranks of J, Q, K and A (all of which are adorned with suitably royal curls), a prince, a queen, a king and the Rising Royals logo. The symbols are beautifully illustrated, and the reels themselves are set into an ornate garden structure which adds a liberal dash of class whilst still giving you a great view of the palace in the background.

An upbeat classical soundtrack plays as you spin the reels, and sound effects are perfectly suited to the regal atmosphere.

Symbol Lock Re-spin

Whenever you get a winning combination of higher-value symbols (namely, the members of the royal family), those symbols will be locked into place and you will receive a free respin. If more of the locked symbols appear, or you get another winning combination of higher-value symbols, those new symbols will also be locked and another re-spin awarded. This feature ends when you fail to get any more of the locked symbols or higher-value winning combinations, or when the reels are already packed full of locked symbols.

Symbol Upgrade

You will notice that the ornate frame of the reels is flanked to the left and right by chandeliers. Every time a symbol is locked into place, as described a few moments ago, a chandelier will light up. Illuminate all of the chandeliers and all of the locked symbols will be upgraded to the next highest. For example, if you have four locked prince symbols on the reels, they would be upgraded to queen symbols. No upgrade is possible if the locked symbols are kings.

Achieve Magnificent Fortunes

‘Rising Royals is an elegant and incredibly fun new title complete with powdered wigs, jewelled shoes and a whole cast of royal characters!’ said Johan Persson, who is CEO at Just For The Win. ‘Utilising the Symbol Lock Re-spin and Symbol Upgrade features, players have a chance to achieve magnificent fortunes. We are so excited for players to experience this feature rich game with endless glamour, class and nobility.’

Over at Microgaming, James Buchanan, who is Director of Global Operations, said: ‘Just For The Win’s latest creation is an entertaining online slot that is equally rich in both graphics and features. The Symbol Lock Re-spin and Symbol Upgrade combine to add tremendous excitement with players looking for a full grid of the Rising Royals symbol, offering the potential for fantastic wins.’
