- A simple but effective game from Pragmatic Play
- Each reel offers some unique payouts
- Free spins bonus helps you reach higher levels
When you produce as many slots as Pragmatic Play it can be hard to create something innovative every time. Let’s take a closer look at Pub Kings slot to see if it does enough to stand out.
Visually, they’ve gone for a viking theme which is certainly one of the more common slot themes and as nice as the background is, I don’t think it really stands out enough. It plays on a 5 reel setup with 4 rows, giving you a total of 20 pay lines. All you need to do is spin the reels and aim for a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- 10, Jack or Queen
- King or Ace
- Pink Woman
- Yellow Man
- Blue Man
- Green Man
- Purple Man

Pub Kings Slot Bonuses and Features
Random Reel Rewards. Each reel can offer a different reward when you land 2 scatter symbols. The rewards are as follows based on the reel:
- Reel 1. 10x up to 5,000x.
- Reel 2. 6x up to 2,500x.
- Reel 3. 4x up to 1,500x.

Free Spins Bonus. With 3 scatter symbols, you trigger the free spins bonus, giving you 10 free spins to work with. Each reel has one of the main characters associated with it and after each free spins, all instances of that given symbol on that reel are collected. Once you collect 6 of the same symbols from a reel, the level 1 payout for that reel is awarded (the lowest amount). Every 3 symbols you collect for that reel after will increase the level, all the way up to level 7 which offers the maximum payout the for that reel. When the bonus is over, the reel with the most collected symbols pays out and if there’s a tie, it will pay the maximum. You cannot retrigger the bonus or win more free spins from it.
Bonus Buy. This is available to players outside the U.K. where you can buy the bonus outright for 100x your stake.
Conclusion
Pub Kings slot from Pragmatic Play is probably one of their simpler games both when it comes to the design and gameplay. I don’t mind the look of the slot, but it doesn’t really stand out compared to all the other Viking-themed games out there, though I will admit there’s a fair bit of detail in the background. The base game offers random prizes sometimes when you land 2 scatters, though this isn’t always the case which is a shame. Most of the time prizes are quite low, but they can be as high as 5,000x. The free spins bonus allows you to build on this and try to collect symbols to guarantee a higher reward. It’s fun for a little while, but I think an extra feature or two here would really help. Overall, not one of their best slots but it’s decent enough I suppose.
