Slot Review: Quest of Kings

You’ve heard of medieval legends – fabled tales passed down through the ages, full of romance, action, courtly intrigue, and chivalry. Unfortunately, Quest of Kings is a slot game unworthy of its genre. Is a boatload of cash worth playing an online slot that is shoddily designed, jerky, and unequivocally boring? The choice is yours, but we bet you can guess our answer by the description so far! The “quest” of the title is a monarch’s pursuit of a beautiful, beloved princess… who looks strangely like the pop singer Mariah Carey. All in all, this is a very odd title.

Quest of Kings is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot machine game by Cryptologic, from whom we really expect better. Coin values range from one cent to twenty dollars. The max coins value of twenty dollars means that there truly is a massive spread of potential bets, making the wagers on this pokey acceptable to the tightest budgets and the spendiest high-rollers. There is an eight thousand coin jackpot, which tops out at one hundred sixty thousand dollars, if you have the wherewithal and desire to spend five hundred dollars a spin on this game.

That’s where the good news ends, however. Expect a LOT of letter/number symbols on the reels, and not too many pictures – and the ones that are there aren’t particularly impressive. There’s the king, his lady, a sword, a scroll, a crown, and a rose. There’s a gender-swapping knight in the bonus game, and we didn’t quite get what was going on there, either.
