Ivan and the Immortal King slot from Quickspin is a new game which a great story. Ivan is a young hero on a quest to defeat the evil and immortal King. Legend has it that his life force is hidden in a needle within an egg within a duck within a hare within a chest, and your goal is to find his life force so you can defeat him. I’ll admit, it’s a strange story, but it’s fun to have one anyway.
The overall appearing of Ivan and the Immortal King slot is brilliant with a great design and nice layout. You have a 5×3 set of reels here and your goal is to get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are listed as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Purple, Orange and Green Gem (lowest value)
- Blue and Red Gem
- Purple Dragons
- Wolf
- Woman
- The Immortal King
- Ivan and Wild (highest value)
These are the base symbols used to offer you payouts in the betting lines. However, there are some other symbols in the game. Firstly, you have the bonus Scatter symbol shown as a Chest which is used to trigger the Free Spins Bonus. The Progress Scatter symbol, shown as a Skull, is available during the Free Spins Bonus to help you move up to another level with better multipliers and more free spins. Finally, there’s the Wild symbol which substitutes for all of the paying base symbols in the game and pays as well as Ivan himself.
Ivan and the Immortal King Slot Bonuses and Features
Baba Yaga Surprise. Baba Yaga is a witch who can show up when you need some additional Scatter symbols for the Bonus. When she appears, she will hide 4 random adjacent symbols which can be replaced either with a Bonus Scatter symbol (in the base game) or Progress Scatter symbol (in the Free Spins Bonus) or with a randomly selected paying symbol for all of them, guaranteeing a win. It’s a nice feature to have and should help you get some extra Bonuses.
Free Spins Bonus. Like most Bonuses of this type, this one is triggered by 3 or more Scatter symbols. 3 of them will start you off with 10 free spins at the Chest level, 4 will give you 14 free spins at the Hare level and 5 will start you off at the Duck level. At this point, you might be wondering what these ‘levels’ are and what they mean exactly. You’ll notice on the side of the reels various animals and symbols and these correspond to a number of free spins and multipliers for the Free Spins Bonus. They provide the following:
- Chest Level: 10 free spins with a 1x multiplier
- Hare Level: 14 free spins with a 2x multiplier
- Duck Level: 18 free spins with a 3x multiplier
- Egg Level: 22 free spins with a 5x multiplier
- Needle Level: 26 free spins with a 10x multiplier
- Skull Level: 30 free spins with a 20x multiplier.
These might sound like strange symbols to have in a game, but it all makes sense if you read the original story at the beginning of the rules section of the game. So how do you get higher levels for extra free spins and better multipliers? Well, you need to collect 3 Progress Scatter symbols during the Bonus to move up a level. The extra level will give you another 4 free spins which should help your chance of getting some more Progress Scatter symbols.
Conclusion
Ivan and the Immortal King slot from Quickspin offers a really interesting theme with a great design and good graphics. I like how it’s included a little story as well just to make things more interesting. When it comes to the gameplay, the Free Spins Bonus is pretty much the only thing you’ll be going for here. The Baby Yaga Surprise Feature can, at times, help you get there, and when you do you’ll want to progress as high as you can on the levels to win extra free spins and get the bigger multipliers. The Skull Level can leave you with some big payouts with that 20x multiplier being applied to the extra 4 free spins, but this won’t come up all that often of course. For most, you should get some fairly regular plays on the Free Spins Bonus with some nice payouts but nothing huge making this a medium variance slot, but a good one at that.
