The back story here takes us back to the 12th century where our heroic knight Ivanhoe has to complete a series of challenges to get King Richard the Lionheart back on the English throne. With that in mind, you might expect this to a game dripping in rich, historical imagery. In fact, the design owes as much to a classic fruity as it does the Middle Ages.
Set against a castle backdrop, the reels include a selection of classic fruity symbols such as lemons, melons and lucky 7s. The crown is the wild. There’s also a red and white Ivanhoe flag - land 3 of these and you’ll trigger the game’s main attraction – the Ivanhoe Bonus Game feature.
This is a free spins round that’s played using to different 5 levels. Each level has a certain number of coins that can be won - once you pass that threshold, you’ll move up to the next level. You’ll carry any free spins you have left as well as having the chances to add to your tally.
The further you progress along the levels, the bigger the potential rewards on offer. Each level offers multipliers too. They start at 2x on level 1 rising to a maximum of 6x if you manage to make it to the final level. Prizes of up to 25 times your stake are on offer in level 1. Make it to level 3 and awards of up to 200 times your stake are on offer. Reach level 5 and there’s a top prize of 3,000 times your stake on offer!
ELK Studios usually puts great effort into making their games very user friendly and their big claim here is that it’s designed for one-handed play on mobile devices. Fans of volatile action will find plenty to like here too as this is a high variance offering. Your quest will often provide little in terms of reward - get on a roll during the Ivanhoe Bonus Game feature though and the multipliers can quickly get to work and send the cashier flying.
Ivanhoe is an unusual slot game - it doesn’t have the flashy design of some of the developer’s other titles, such as Poltava Flames of War, but it’s a very playable game. Part fruity, part historical epic, this volatile game delivers plenty of adventure.
