Ivan and the Immortal King Slot Review

Ivan and the Immortal King Slot Overview – Features, Gameplay and Paytable

Ivan and the Immortal King is a Quickspin video slot based on the Russian folklore hero Ivan Tsarevich and his battle with Koschei the Immortal. The game runs on a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 20 fixed paylines and multi-level gameplay built around free spins and a multiplier ladder. You step into Ivan’s boots, chasing ill-gotten treasure with help from Baba Yaga and a set of stacked symbols that can deliver serious hits.

Bets range from 0.20 to 100 credits in the general version, while UK-focused material quotes stakes from 20p a spin, capped at £2 for players aged 18–24 and £5 for those aged 25+. The base game can pay very well through fully stacked high symbols, but it is clear from my play and the maths notes that the real action comes from the Koschei free spins and progression round.

Ivan and the Immortal King Symbols & Paytable

The paytable in Ivan and the Immortal King is built around ten regular symbols split into two tiers. Five low-paying icons are coloured gemstones, while the premiums show characters from the tale: dragon, wolf, the princess, Koschei and Ivan himself. Ivan is the top symbol, paying 100 times the stake for five of a kind. All symbols appear fully stacked, creating a base game jackpot of up to 2,000 times the bet if you cover the grid with Ivan.

Payouts display as cash values relative to your active stake, which makes it very easy to see what each hit is worth. On top of the regular set you have a golden Wild emblem that substitutes for all standard symbols, plus a blue chest Bonus Scatter and a skull coin Progress Scatter used in free spins. You can access the full paytable from the control panel via the hamburger icon above the settings menu.

Baba Yaga Surprise Feature in Ivan and the Immortal King

Baba Yaga’s Surprise is a signature feature in Ivan and the Immortal King, based on the moody witch from Slavic folklore. She can fly onto the screen at random in both the main game and during free spins, hiding four adjacent symbols. Those positions are then replaced with matching regular icons for a guaranteed win, with Bonus Chests to help trigger free spins, or with Progress Scatters during the feature, often appearing just when you are one symbol short.

Ivan and the Immortal King Free Spins and Progression Round

Free spins in Ivan and the Immortal King are where the slot truly opens up. You trigger the Koschei free spin round by landing three or more blue chest Bonus Scatters anywhere, either naturally or with Baba Yaga’s help. Three chests award 10 free spins at the Chest level, four chests bring 14 spins at the Hare level, while five chests give 18 spins starting from the Duck level on the ladder beside the reels.

Alongside the reels sits a multiplier ladder that mirrors the folklore sequence of chest, hare, duck, egg, needle and the Immortal King. The base levels chest, hare and duck carry x1, x2 and x3 multipliers. Above them sit the golden egg at x5, the needle at x10 and, at the top, Koschei at x20. During the round, Progress Scatter coins appear on the reels; collect three to climb one step up the ladder and gain four extra free spins.

This structure ties straight into the story about Koschei’s life being hidden inside a needle in an egg, inside a duck, in a hare, locked in a chest. Around 42% of the theoretical return is tied to this feature, and as a high variance slot many bonus rounds will fizzle out at low values. From my experience, though, hitting the higher rungs of the ladder with a decent stack of premiums is where the slot shows its teeth.

Ivan and the Immortal King RTP, Volatility and Max Payout

Ivan and the Immortal King runs on a high volatility model aimed at players who enjoy long spells of grinding for occasional big hits. Sources quote a theoretical RTP around the mid-96% mark, with figures such as 96.29% and 96.92% mentioned, which puts it a touch above average. The game carries a theoretical maximum win of 40,000 times the stake via a full screen of top symbols combined with the x20 multiplier, though internal testing peaked around 10,222 times.

How to Play Ivan and the Immortal King Slot Machine

Getting started with Ivan and the Immortal King is straightforward. I set my total bet using the arrows beside the stake display; paylines are fixed at 20, so all I control is the wager size. A hit requires at least three matching symbols on a payline from the leftmost reel. The golden Wild helps join things up, standing in for regular symbols, while stacked premiums make line building more frequent than the volatility suggests when they land right.

For longer sessions I use the Autoplay button, which sits inside the large spin control. You can pick between 10 and 1,000 auto spins and set single-win and loss limits. There is also a fast-play toggle below Autoplay to speed each spin. From there, my routine is to spin, watch for Baba Yaga swooping in, and hope for three or more chests. Once the Koschei free spins start, the aim becomes collecting Progress Scatters and climbing that multiplier ladder.

Summarising Ivan and the Immortal King Slot Review

For me, Ivan and the Immortal King is classic Quickspin design: fairy-tale visuals, hand-painted artwork and a clear feature focus rather than a pile of side mechanics. It is not trying to reinvent anything, yet the combination of Baba Yaga’s Surprise and the six-step multiplier ladder keeps the gameplay engaging. The story integration is strong as well, so the free spins feel like a proper narrative journey rather than just another numbers round.

From a gambling angle, this is a slot I reach for when I am in the mood for swings. The base game has enough stacked symbol potential to keep me spinning, but the whole setup is geared towards landing that big Koschei feature and pushing high on the ladder. Casual players and those chasing frequent small wins might find it a bit harsh, yet if you like high volatility with character, Ivan and the Immortal King merits a solid session.
