Bonus Feature
When the Bonus is triggered you are presented with a feature wheel. The player must spin the wheel to select a feature. Note: The outcome of this wheel is not necessarily those shown by the odds displayed. The bonus games available on the wheel are, King Spins, Wild Joker Spins and Royal Roller. Four or five Bonus symbols on the reels increases the chances of a better bonus.
King Spins
Upon achieving this feature, the player is awarded a cash prize of x2 total stake and will have the opportunity to select one of two types of Free Spins games.
Unlimited Free Spins with Progressive Multiplier
During the Free Spins, an executioner symbol may appear on the reels. When this happens, one of Henry’s wives will reveal a multiplier above the reels. This multiplier will apply to all wins for all spins going forward until another executioner appears which will increase the multiplier. Up to three executioners can appear during a single spin.
All wins are multiplied by 2 after one executioner has appeared on the reels. Wins will then be multiplied by 3 once a second executioner appears on the reels. A third executioner increases the multiplier to 4 and a fourth increases it to 5. The Free Spins feature will end once a fifth executioner appears on the reels.
8 Free Spins with a x4 Multiplier
8 Free Spins will be awarded with all wins multiplied by 4 throughout the feature. The number of spins remaining is displayed below the reels.
Wild Joker Spins
This feature will award the player three ‘Wild Joker Spins’. During the first spin, a Joker will place three wilds vertically down any one of the five reels. Any wins at this point will be added to the running total and the stack of wilds will lock in for all subsequent spins throughout the feature. During the second spin, the Joker will place three wilds vertically down on another reel. This will then add any more winnings to the running total. During the third and final spin, the Joker will place a final stack of wilds on another reel. Once the wins for the third spin have accumulated, the feature will end.
Royal Roller
All rows on the reels are made up of the same symbols. This will award multiple 5 of a kind wins for one spin. The feature will end once all wins have been accumulated for this spin.
Reel Modifiers
Reel modifiers are awarded when Henry opens his chest in the bottom right corner of the reel screen. There are four possible reel modifiers that occur randomly during a normal spin.
Super Reel
A Colossal symbol will take up position anywhere on the reels. This will represent one symbol across 3 x 3 symbol positions on the reels.
Super Bonus Reels
An increased amount of Bonus symbols will appear for one spin, significantly increasing the chance of a bonus game entry.
Big Win
A big win is assured when Henry announces a ‘Big Win’. This will ensure a large win composed of the high paying ‘Henry VIII’ symbol.
5 of a Kind
This will ensure at least one ‘5 of a kind’ reel win will appear on the reels.
Game Recovery
Bet Recovery
Due to the nature of the communications medium for the game, the player may experience interruptions, delays or termination to the game play cycle.
In the event of an unexpected interruption/termination of a real play game, the game will recover to the last known state.
If for example, the game was started but not fully completed due to closure of the browser or connectivity problems, this will not affect the final result of the game after the game has recovered, and any winnings will be correctly paid to your account balance, and will be exactly according to the winning or losing result produced prior to the game being prematurely terminated.
Malfunction voids all pays and plays.
General Information
