The design in Glory and Britannia is rather good. Set against rolling green fields, the reels are set within a castle. There you’ll find stone-style A to 9 royal values as well as books, rings, crowns and goblets. The best of the standard symbols is the lion coat of arms. Land 5 of them on adjacent reels and you’ll win almost 17 times your total stake. The golden cross is the wild - it can land on the middle 3 reels only and substitute for everything apart from the scatter (the St George’s Cross).
Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same spin will get you a payout of 2, 5 or 20 times your stake as well as triggering the Free Spins feature. On offer are 15 free spins on an expanded 1,024 ways to win machine.
So far, so standard. Above the reels you’ll see a selection of famous characters from English history. Each of them can deliver a special feature. To activate the feature, click on the Shop tab above the reels. Each extra costs 10 coins per spin. A minimum bet of 30p turns to £1 per spin if you activate all 7 side options. These special features can then hit at random on any spin:
- Lady of the Lake feature - you’ll receive 3 re-spins with the lower paying symbols removed.
- Templar Knight feature - are-spin is awarded with special stacked mystery Treasure Chests that all transform into the same symbol.
- Guinevere feature - a re-spin is awarded with one specially enchanted symbol spreading across the reels.
- Merlin feature - on this re-spin, the master magician casts a spell which turns 1, 2 or 3 reels totally wild.
- Duke of York feature - the dandy Duke can appear when you trigger the free spins round and awards a multiplier which can boost the payout by up to 5x.
- King Arthur feature - Arthur also appears during the free spins round. He can add up to 20 extra free spins to your total.
- Robin Hood feature - the outlaw awards re-spins with extra wilds during the free spins round.
It might sound like some kind of Brexit fantasy slot game but Glory and Britannia is actually pretty good. We recommend activating the side bet extras if you have the bankroll as they certainly liven up the play and deliver plenty of action.
That’s certainly the case if you trigger the Free Spins feature with the Duke of York feature, Merlin feature and King Arthur feature – you can win up to 2,500 times your stake on each free spin. We can’t see this slot game having much of a following in Glasgow or Dublin but if you enjoy the historical theme and all things English then Glory and Britannia is certainly worth a spin. If you like the theme, Mighty Arthur from Quickspin is worth a look.
