Royal Reels is a straightforward casino-style pokie with a traditional feel. It doesn’t try to overwhelm you with a crowded screen or layers of side features, and the appeal sits in a familiar reel rhythm.
I found it easy to settle into. The gems and Crowns are the symbols to watch — they lead into the two bonus features that replace free spins.
The Royal Reels demo on WinPockets lets you try both bonuses with virtual credits.
How to Play Royal Reels
- Set coin size and bet per line.
- Choose your lines. Up to 30 paylines.
- Spin. Wins pay on active lines.
- Watch for gems and Crowns. They open the bonuses.
Gameplay & Winning Combinations
Wins need matching symbols from the leftmost reel on an active line. The Diamond Wild fills gaps and pays on its own, but it doesn’t replace the Crown or gem symbols.
Symbols
The Crown and jewels lead the paytable, with cherries, plums and card symbols at the lower end. The Diamond is the Wild. Check the paytable for exact values at your stake.
Bonus Features
Gem Click-Me Bonus
Three or more gems left to right on a line open a click-me feature with an instant prize.
Crown Pick Bonus
Three or more Crowns open a pick screen with a hidden cash prize.
Diamond Wild
The Diamond substitutes for regular symbols and pays on its own.
RTP & Volatility
Royal Reels runs at a 95.50% RTP with medium volatility, with returns spread between line wins and the two instant-prize bonuses.
Maximum Win
Betsoft doesn’t publish a maximum-win multiplier. The biggest results come from premium lines and the bonus prizes.
Theme, Graphics & Sound
Crowns, jewels and royal colours give it a classic look. It’s clean and readable, though the graphics and looping sound show their age.
Play Royal Reels on Mobile
The 5×3 layout works on a phone, and the pick bonuses are easy to play with a tap.
Our Verdict
Royal Reels is a straightforward, traditional Betsoft pokie. It doesn’t overwhelm you with a crowded screen, and the appeal sits in a familiar reel rhythm rather than constant bonus interruptions.
Instead of free spins it offers two instant-prize bonuses — a gem click-me feature and a Crown pick round — which break up the base game nicely. The Diamond Wild paying on its own helps too. The graphics and sound, though, clearly show their 2011 age.
I’d point the demo at players who like classic pick-style bonuses. If free spins are a must for you, this won’t fit.
