High 5 Games Launch Viking Myth-Themed Defenders of the Realm Video Slot

Exciting news for fans of iGaming – High 5 Games, a popular software developer, is once again in the spotlight with their latest release, Beat Boxes. This newest addition to their video slots collection, Defenders of the Realm, takes players on a heroic journey through diverse landscapes in search of high prizes.

The game features a familiar 5-reel, 4-row grid pattern. Landing a Horn symbol leaves behind a Beat Box which doubles the value of any winning combination it appears in. Get a full reel of Beat Boxes and the screen transforms into a Locked Wild for three rounds. If all five reels are locked, the Free Game bonus round is activated.

According to lcb.org, Defenders of the Realm is expected to be a huge success in the market.

Defender of the Realm: Design and Gameplay

Known for their unique titles, High 5 Games does not disappoint with Defender of the Realm. The design combines Viking mythology with elements from Stargate’s desert city – an unexpected but effective theme.

One highlight of the game is its colourful Beat Box which appears randomly on the reels. Landing these triggers double wins and Locked Wild Reels. The Pick Bonus Game is activated after progressing through four to six tiers and offers exciting payouts along the way.

The Wild symbol replaces standard icons in winning combinations and has the highest payout in the game. Five Wilds in a round can multiply the stake up to 100 times. The Horn symbol, which appears in different colours on different reels, is the next highest paying symbol.

What are the Bonus Features?

If any symbol is framed by a Beat Box during a win, its value is doubled. Beat Boxes disappear at the end of each round unless certain conditions are met. Surrounding all four positions on the reels with Beat Boxes turns them into wild reels for three spins.

During this time, Horn symbols can also replace Beat Boxes. Once the Wild Reel feature ends, all Beat Boxes disappear from the screen. Landing three treasure chests triggers the Pick Bonus Game with its four-, five-, and six-tier options when 3, 4, or 5 chests appear in a round.

Each tier offers four options and players receive cash prizes before moving on to the next round. The game ends with an X which has the potential to double your stake. This high-volatility video slot has an RTP of up to 96% and can multiply your stake by x4237 times.

The buy-in range is between €/£0.10 and €/£100 per spin and triggers 10 free spins. This feature cannot be retriggered but some wild reels come with a 2x multiplier.
