Take The Kingdom Slot Review

Take The Kingdom - Game Overview

I first loaded Take The Kingdom because I like dragon-themed slots, and this one throws a massive red dragon around a 5x5 grid. The animated presentation feels quite dramatic, with the reels bulging forwards and the dragon curled around them as if guarding a hoard. Betsoft leans into the medieval fantasy angle, so every spin feels like another step towards raiding the treasure under that scaly nose.

Under the surface, Take The Kingdom runs in neat cycles of seven spins, which Betsoft even brands as a Spin Cycle fantasy experience. Between those cycle beats and the dragon’s fiery interventions, I never feel like I am just grinding through dead spins. The structure gives the base game a regular sense of anticipation, which suits the high-energy art style and keeps me engaged for longer sessions.

Game Cycle Features in Take The Kingdom

Every spin in Take The Kingdom feeds into the Fireball Countdown Timer tucked away in the corner. The base game works in fixed batches of seven spins, and any Dragon symbol that lands turns into a sticky Fireball Countdown symbol. These fireballs stay on the grid as overlays, so they do not block regular line wins while the timer ticks down towards that all-important seventh spin.

On the seventh spin, the dragon finally wakes up and breathes fire across the reels, turning every fireball into a wild symbol. That wild release spin is where the slot can really connect, throwing clusters of wilds over existing wins or setting up fresh five-of-a-kind hits. Because this event arrives on such a predictable rhythm, I always find myself counting down and adjusting bet size before the blast.

During longer sessions, like the classic 200 spins test, I see the wild release feature fire several times before the bonus game even shows up. It breaks the monotony nicely, as those charged spins tend to throw in at least a moderate hit. For me, that regular jolt of action is what turns Take The Kingdom from a simple dragon slot into a more structured, cycle-driven experience.

Symbols and Paytable in Take The Kingdom

The paytable in Take The Kingdom leans heavily on its fantasy setting, but the raw symbol values stay on the modest side. Low-value royal icons pay 0.24x your stake for five of a kind, while the four mid-tier weapon symbols step that up to 0.48x. Premiums show a Knight in armour, a Princess and the King himself, paying between 0.8x and 2.8x, with the Wild matching the King’s top payout.

Free Spins Bonus Features in Take The Kingdom

The main bonus feature in Take The Kingdom comes from the treasure chest scatters, which appear only on reels two, three and four. Land all three at once and you get 12 free spins, but the real meat of the feature lies in the shifting wilds that come with it. At the start, the game randomly assigns 6, 9 or 12 wilds, which then move to new positions on every free spin.

In practice, those roaming wilds give the round a very different feel from the base game. Payouts tend to appear on spin after spin, as the wilds snake across the 5x5 grid creating new lines each time. There is no way to retrigger the feature or gain extra spins, so non-UK players get the option to buy straight in, choosing between the three wild packages at 24x, 140x or 350x stake.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Take The Kingdom

Take The Kingdom sits in that mid-range pocket of volatility where you can expect regular hits but still chase some meaningful runs. A single spin caps out at 280x your stake, so the real punch has to come from repeated wins across the free spins round. Betsoft quotes overall potential of 3,640x, which lines up with how swingy the shifting wilds can feel when they line up across several bonus spins.

Take The Kingdom Slot - Personal Verdict

As someone who plays a lot of fantasy slots, I would not call Take The Kingdom original, but it does what it sets out to do rather well. The visuals carry a lot of weight, with that huge animated dragon wrapped around the reels and the grid itself bulging forward on every spin. The way the dragon interacts with the Fireball symbols keeps the screen feeling alive even between bigger hits.

The seven-spin wild release cycle is the real star for me, taking much of the grind out of the base game and giving a regular surge of excitement. The bonus round lives or dies on how many shifting wilds you bring in, which the buy options make very clear. Overall, I see Take The Kingdom as a fairly decent mid-level fantasy instalment, worth a session when I fancy some dragon drama.
