High 5 Games Launch Viking Myth-Themed Defenders of the Realm Video Slot

Experience the power of Beat Boxes on the reels with High 5 Games’ latest creation, Defenders of the Realm. Join in on the adventure and harness heroic powers as you journey through a diverse landscape to claim high prizes.

The familiar 5-reel, 4-row grid pattern is back, and now when players land a Horn symbol, it leaves behind a Beat Box. Each symbol with a Beat Box doubles in value when part of a winning combination. And if you manage to fill an entire reel with Beat Boxes, get ready for Locked Wilds that will stay for three rounds. Activate all five reels with Locked Wilds and unlock the Free Game bonus round.

The new slot is predicted to be a hit in the market according to lcb.org.

Defender of the Realm: Design and Gameplay

Known for their unique titles, High 5 Games has once again delivered with Defender of the Realm. The design is an intriguing mix of Viking mythology and desert city from Stargate – surprisingly it works flawlessly.

The colourful Beat Box is the star of this game, appearing randomly over the reels. Landing one triggers double wins and Locked Wild Reels. Reach between four and six tiers in the Pick Bonus Game to receive exciting payouts as you progress through levels.

The Wild symbol substitutes for other icons in winning combinations and boasts high payouts. Get five Wilds in one round and multiply your stake up to 100 times. Next up is the Horn symbol, which appears in different colors depending on the reel.

What are the Bonus Features?

If any symbol is surrounded by a Beat Box during a win, its value doubles. Beat Boxes disappear at the end of each round unless certain conditions are met. Fill all four positions on a reel with Beat Boxes and watch as it turns into a wild reel for three spins.

During this time, Horn symbols can also replace Beat Boxes. After the Wild Reel plays out, all Beat Boxes vanish from the screen. In the base game, land three treasure chests anywhere on the reels to trigger the Pick Bonus Game with four-, five-, and six-tier options for three, four, and five treasure chests respectively.

Each tier has four choices for players to select from. Receive a cash prize before moving on to the next round. The feature ends with an X that has potential to double your stake. This high-volatility video slot has an RTP of 96% and can multiply your stake by x4237 times.

With buy-ins ranging from €/£0.10 to €/£100 per spin, players can trigger 10 free spins in one go during this round – although it cannot be retriggered. Keep an eye out for wild reels with a x2 multiplier.
