If you expect to see a happy pony on the reels of the Prancing Pony slot, you have another thing coming. While it has a fantasy theme, the game is quite different than the name suggests. Read more about it in the theme section below!

At first sight, this tile promises a very engaging gameplay. The second glance reveals that there’s a lot more than meets the eye:

Big winning potential and quite a few interesting special features make this release exciting and worthy of checking out.

While Pariplay could think of a more fitting name for this release, the experience truly makes up for that small oversight.

Theme

The action of this fantasy slot takes place in a medieval tavern by the name The Prancing Pony. Hence, the title of the game now does make a lot of sense. The clientele of this rustic tavern includes dwarves, hobbits, elves and wizards.

Sounds familiar?
Well, that is because it is. The whole story resembles a scene in the famous film trilogy the Lord of The Rings.

In fact:

Design is a total rip off of this franchise. The characters are the spitting image of Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn, just in animated form.

Copying one of the greatest fantasy stories aside…

…we have to admit that graphic and animation are at a top-notch level.

That won’t differ when you play on various devices since this game is completely mobile-friendly.

Betting Options

This medieval fantasy adventure takes place on 6 reels and 5 rows, which is an unusual formation. There are 50 lines you can make a win trough. A bet can be set from $0.20 to a maximum of $200.
Since the RTP is set at 95.97%...
…it lacks only a little to be on the average side of the preferable 96%.

Like many new slots, this one is also overflowing with interesting special features. In fact, those are the ones that bring the biggest prizes.

The most generous of the standard symbols is the bearded sorcerer, which pays a maximum of 7.5x your stake if you land 5 in combination. Other beneficial symbols are the warrior, male fairy and dwarf, while the lowest paying cards are the standard royals.

The Prancing Pony Slot Features

Like in many of Pariplay’s releases, there are numerous extra features to benefit from. Take a look what they are, and how to trigger them.

Coins & Collect

One or more coin symbols can land on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4. When that happens, if the collect symbol also lands on reel 5 during the same spin, all coin symbol values are added up. Meaning the player gets awarded with a total amount of all coin values.

Extra Spins

When 3 or more money bag symbols land on the reels, it will trigger this feature. The player is awarded x1 their total bet amount and presented with 5 extra spins options to choose from:

20 spins
15 spins with x2 wilds on the reels
10 spins with x3 wilds
7 spins with x3 wilds and extra coin symbol
5 spins with x3 wilds and extra coin symbol and collect symbol

Landing 3 money bag cards during this bonus round will add the same type of selected extra spin. The Coins & Collect and Jackpot Re-spins features are also available during this round.

Jackpot Re-spins

5 or more jackpot symbols landing on the same spin will activate this feature. You’ll then receive 3 re-spins. If a new jackpot symbol lands, it is also held and the re-spins reset to 3. Each jackpot symbol that lands moves you up the cash ladder and increases the potential prize.

At the end of the feature, the player is awarded the sum of collected prize amounts and jackpots corresponding the level they reached on the money ladder:

Mini Jackpot – x10 multiplier of the bet amount
Minor Jackpot -x20 multiplier of the bet amount
Major Jackpot – x50 multiplier of the bet amount
Grand Jackpot – 200x multiplier of the bet amount

Conclusion

If you look over the fact that this game is virtually a copy of The Lord of The Rings, you can have a great time playing it. The special features are its highlight that spice up the already interesting gameplay. Especially considering its brightest gem – the incredible Jackpot Re-spin round which offers very nice prizes.

While the developer could have been more creative with the design and the game’s name, The Prancing Pony is really worthy of checking out. Try it out and with a little luck you can open the door to huge winning opportunities.
