Battle Royal Slot

Join Henry VIII and his 6 wives in Battle Royal, a volatile 5 reel, 20 payline slot game from Play ’N Go. This virtual trip back to the 1500s come with plenty of extras including transforming symbols, free spins with wild extras and a pick me round. Play on all devices from between 20p and £100 per spin.



A grand room in the royal palace is the setting here. On the reels you’ll find lower value heart, diamond, club and spade symbols. More rewarding are Henry’s 6 wives. These spin in 2-symbol high stacks with the best of them awarding 2, 10 or 30 times your total stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.

Those same amounts are on offer from the Henry VIII symbol which is the game’s wild. The portly king also spins in 2-high stacks and substitutes for all other symbols apart from the scatter. On any spin you could receive the Royal Flush feature - this turns all of the lower paying symbols into the same symbol. A new payout calculation then follows.

There are 2 other bonus features on offer in Battle Royal. They’re triggered by landing the scatter on reels 1 and 5 on the same spin. Pick a scatter to see which feature you’ve been awarded:

Heads Will Roll Free Spins feature - first choose which of Henry’s wives will survive the guillotine. 1 of the guillotines will drop on each free spin. If a full or the top half of a wife are visible, they’ll lose their head. That wife then becomes wild for the rest of the feature.

If just the bottom half of a wife is visible on the top row, she won’t be eligible to become wild. The free spins keep on coming until just 1 wife character is left meaning 5 extra wild symbols. If that wife is the 1 you chose at the start of the round, you’ll get an extra bonus prize.

Finally, pick a guillotine. If the last surviving queen gets the chop, you’ll then go on to play the Long Live The King feature - if she survives, you’ll go back to the base game.

Long Live the King feature - you can trigger this round via the free spins or directly via the scatter choice. In this pick me round, you’ll select treasure chests and hopefully win prizes. Ghosts roam across the reels after each selection. If Henry gets in the way, he dies and the feature is over. Find a key in the chest and you can leave the dungeon and collect a multiplier which is applied to your total win. You can carry on picking from the chests if you wish though.

If you land the pick me round from the free spins round, the best option is to escape the dungeon as soon as you find the key as this will apply a multiplier to your winnings from your free spins. Land it from the scatter and the optimal strategy is to make 4 picks then leave.

There were few more dangerous occupations in Tudor England than being the wife of Henry VIII. Playing this slot game can also be a risky proposition for your bankroll too as this is an incredibly volatile offering. There are riches fit for a king on offer if you get lucky with the features though. The top payout is a massive 5,000 times your stake on each free spin.

We enjoyed this royal yarn. It looks terrific and the gameplay delivers plenty of action. Even if you’re an ardent republican, you should find something to amuse you in Battle Royal. I also recommend you try some of Play ‘N Go’s other games with Gunslinger: Reloaded a good game to play.
