Spearhead Studios – Royal Crown

Aiming to embrace the traditional style of classic slots whilst integrating modern features, Spearhead Studios introduced the 5×3, ten payline Royal Crown.

There are two scatter symbols in this game which consist of the dollar and star. The dollar can land on any reel and if a player lands three or more in one spin it rewards a pay out. The star symbol can only land on reels one, three and five and pays out for three instances of the symbol.

“With Royal Crown we are staying true to our motto of building local games for local markets. This is a well-known and loved type of game in the German and Eastern European markets. We have launched several titles for these markets and Royal Crown is a very nice addition.

“All these slots are performing really well, and we expect Royal Crown to have a similar success.” – Mathias Larsson, managing director of Spearhead Studios.

Introducing a revamp of the original of the same name, the new 5-reel, 20-fixed line title is the second game to include the game changer bonus round, which is triggered by boxed symbols landing around the edge of the reels to create a game board.

During the round, players roll the dice to move from square to square, landing on symbols that determine the prize awarded. Those displaying a pink bunny, bell, or fruit will then spin the bonus slot and award 3, 4 or 5 of a kind of that symbol.
