Play'n Go Releases New Royal Masquerade Video Slot

The online slots industry is all about innovation. It doesn't matter how good of an idea you have in the short-run because six months from now, it will have lost its luster for the most part. Along these lines, new ideas, concepts and levels of innovation are key to getting to the top and staying there in this particular sector of the online gambling world. Play'n Go's new Royal Masquerade release shows that they are dedicated to pushing the envelope in this way.

Details on This New Slot

The theme of this game is a Venetian festival, and you'll find tons of people in masks since this is a part of the masquerade theme. The theme is set somewhat dark, though the characters and their masks are colorful and vibrant. The music sets the mood perfectly, and it sounds like it could be a part of a movie soundtrack somewhere. The visual and audio presentation are top-notch, even though this game doesn't use 3D graphics.

The basic format is that it uses 10 paylines. The coins range from $0.01 to $2 apiece, and you can bet up to five coins on each payline. This leads to a betting range of $0.10 to $100 per spin, and that's more than enough breadth to cover every type of player at every level of stakes.

Lots of Winning Combinations

The wild symbol is a flamboyant blue mask with a long nose, and five of this symbol will get you a 1,000x top payout. It substitutes for everything but the golden mask scatter symbol. Three or more of this scatter will get you five of what Play'n Go calls "win spins," and these are free spins where you're guaranteed a win. What's more is that every scatter symbol you see on the reels during this feature adds two more win spins, and you can get up to a total of 20 in each feature.

The paytable is rounded out by a 750x win for five of the red man and 500x for five of the red woman. Other wins at the 400x and 250x levels are available as well, and you'll see the A, K, Q, J and 10 symbols on the reels for the lower-end payouts.
