Rise of the Mountain King

Step into the mythical world of Rise of the Mountain King, an online slot by NextGen Gaming launched in 2020. Inspired by Norse legends, this slot takes Kenyan players on an epic journey with characters from a magical kingdom ruled by the mighty mountain king.

Gameplay and Features

Rise of the Mountain King uses a classic 5-reel, 3-row setup with 30 fixed paylines. The betting range is flexible, letting you spin for as low as $0.30 and up to $15 per spin. Featuring an RTP of 96.31% and high volatility, this slot is well-suited for those looking for big wins.

The slot’s symbols capture the fantasy feel, with card royals (9 to Ace) as the lower-value icons, while axes, shields, troll characters, and a princess represent the more rewarding symbols. The Mountain King himself is the wild, substituting for regular symbols to help complete wins. Watch for the red gem scatter symbol—land three or more to unlock the free spins feature.

Bonus features include the King's Respin, triggered by three or more wild symbols. Wilds become sticky, with respins awarded as long as new wilds appear. The Rise of the Multiplier Free Spins feature offers 8, 9, or 10 free spins, depending on how many scatters land. Collecting more scatters during free spins increases a multiplier meter up to 100x, and each extra scatter gives more free spins with no cap. Only wins featuring a wild symbol benefit from these multipliers. Some versions of the game also offer a Buy Pass feature, letting you buy immediate access to free spins or try a 50/50 chance at half price—using this boosts the RTP to 96.848%.

Theme and Design

The slot showcases a mountain palace floating in the clouds with detailed graphics and fantasy-inspired symbols. The soundtrack is dramatic, echoing Edvard Grieg’s famous tune, and deepens the immersive gaming experience.
