King Cashalot Details Page

Software (9)

The software works without a hitch, and that should be no surprise as it comes from Microgaming, which is world-renowned for the reliability of its product. The software has many nice features, including the ability to adjust sound and speeds. There is also a great color scheme and a friendly interface that allows you to have all the controls you need right at your fingertips.

Easy to Understand (8)

It is pretty simple to understand. First of all, it is a slot game, so there's very little over than to click the "Spin" button, and it gets even easier if you exercise the AutoPlay function and let the software do all the work for you. The Treasure Chest Bonus Game is quite simple, as is the method by which you will win the progressive jackpot - having five Kings on the ninth payline. Bet the maximum number of paylines on each spin, and you're in the running.

Graphics & Sounds (9)

This is great design at work. Everything is so colorful, but at the same time it is very well laid out and easy to determine which symbol is which. At all times you have the exact progressive jackpot figure, because it is running across the top. And the people at Microgaming have made sure that the soundtrack is fully adjustable for you; with the controls at hand, you can decide to either include or exclude the game sounds, win sounds and/or background sounds to your liking.

Theme and Concept (8)

This game centers around the medieval theme, and while that is not exactly a brand-new concept, it is done with an awful lot of flair from the folks at Microgaming who designed King Cashalot. All the symbols fit right in, along with the bonus game. Hit the wild symbols five in the ninth payline and you will win a King's ransom, that's for sure!

Game Features (9)

Microgaming includes a lot of interesting features in its slot games, both in terms of the operation and procedure of the game. Players have the opportunity to take a "hand off" approach and let the software do the work by choosing "AutoPlay," which precludes you from having to make an independent decision on each and every spin. If you're the impatient type and want to play the game at a faster pace, you can elect to play with QuickSpin, which in effect will make the reels spin faster and thus get a result faster.

Betting Options (7)

King Cashalot has one coin size - it's 0.05. With the number of paylines very low (just nine, in fact), the means a 45-coin maximum, which you can get by clicking the "Bet Max" button at the bottom of the interface. having just one coin size is cumbersome for many people, who want to vary their play a little more, especially since it is more or less mandatory that nine paylines be enabled at all times to be eligible for the progressive jackpot.

Jackpots (9)

The King, which is also the wild, brings the biggest jackpot when it comes to the regular symbols, as it yields 15,000 coins when they appear five in a payline. Four Kings in a row brings 1500 coins, and the next best symbols to have is the Queen (1000 coins for five in a row). The progressive jackpot is the big jewel, however, and in King Cashalot that will produce a minimum of $100,000 and more likely than not, much, much more.
