Where to play?
You’ve seen Ancient Greek pokies galore by now, we’re sure. Alexander the Great wasn’t technically a Greek, though. The Macedonian king actually went as far as to conquer and punish the Greeks for defying him. So, with that in mind – how many Macedonian-themed pokie machines have you seen?
Probably very few. King of Macedonia is, of course, based on Alexander the Great, although his trusty horse Bucephalus gets more than its fair share of attention, too, in which is an overly enjoyable game from IGT.
Developer
Historical-themed pokies aren’t necessarily IGT’s forte. In fact, in their vast history, none of their major historical games have gone on to do very well, save for Cleopatra (and that one is highly fictional at best). King of Macedonia might just change that, though.
This game has a whole new look for an IGT pokie, although some other aspects of the game are just as rigid as you will normally find in games from this provider.
How to play it
Expect to find a sizeable number of lines straddling the reels of this game, 40 in all. Those paylines cannot be altered, but players do have some slight control over how they set up their stakes when playing the pokie.
Unfortunately, this isn’t going to be a game for those on shoestring budgets. It costs $0.80 per spin at its cheapest, and at least $1,600 per spin if you wish to play with the maximum stake – few will.
Special features
Wild symbols: The great king himself is the pokie’s wild. It can substitute for all other icons barring bonus symbols. More importantly, wild symbols can appear as colossal symbols on the second and fourth reels. Since these symbols also span two reels, it is possible to have colossal wilds spreading across the second, third, fourth and fifth reels. It’s rare, but it does happen.
Bonus symbols: These bonus icons appear as shields, and they can only appear on the first reel. If it does show up on the first reel, with the colossal wilds spreading across the other four reels (which is highly unlikely) players will pocket a random multiplier worth between 2x and 10x the normal rate of pay.
Free spin bonus: Bonus symbols appearing on the first reel, with a colossal wild on either the second or fourth reel is enough to trigger a free spin bonus round, though. In this feature, any wilds which show up will remain frozen into place for the duration of the free games bonus.
Maximum payouts
The jackpot is kind of petite, and that is a bit off-putting. In fact, it only stands at 200x your total bet, and it can only be won by landing 5 of Alexander’s mother, Queen Olympia 5 times on a payline. The next highest paying symbol in this game is his beloved horse, Bucephalus. Expect to win as much as 150 coins if they those symbols appear on a line.
Summary
King of Macedonia is not the best history-themed pokie to ever appear, although it is far more realistic than IGT’s Cleopatra. If only it had the gameplay and prize of Cleopatra, though. A decent arrival for any players who love historical pokies, this Alexander the Great-themed pokie may just fall flat on its face for players who prefer high octane pokie gameplay, though.
