Kings Honor

A huge medieval slot experience

Picture this: Two massive reel sets dominate your screen, flanked by knights and brimming with medieval excitement. That’s Kings Honor. The atmosphere drops you right into a world of sword clashes, epic banners, and gritty tournaments—if you can get past the busy grid, anyway. This slot isn’t one of those modern, super-polished 3D games. Instead, it leans hard on sheer size and mechanical punch, with a straightforward visual style that’s more practical than flashy.

Barcrest is the team behind Kings Honor—if you’ve played other Barcrest slots, you’ll know they love quirky mechanics and innovative side bets. They dropped this one with a classic feel, but amped everything up: two reel sets, 100 paylines, and what feels like a whole arsenal of bonuses. The real star of the presentation is the soundtrack. Think of an over-the-top orchestra blaring away as you play. Even if the visuals look a little old-school, the music absolutely pulls its weight, making every spin feel like the climactic scene from a medieval movie.

How it plays

You’re dealing with two grids here: a normal 5x4 set on the left, and a towering 5x12 behemoth (the Colossal Reels) on the right. There are 100 paylines—yes, 100—and you can’t change that, so every spin is all in. Bets start low at just 0.10 per spin, but you can crank it up as high as 500.00 coins. Doesn’t matter if you’re playing on mobile, tablet, or desktop. It’s easy to set your stake: just hit the plus or minus button under the reels and roll with it.

The return to player (RTP) here is seriously generous—97.75%, which stands well above the usual 96% mark most slots offer. It’s a medium volatility game, so you’ll see a mix of steady wins and the occasional dry spell, but it’s seldom too harsh over stretches. The game provides options for autoplay (from 10 up to 200 spins) if you want to set things and watch the action, plus a Big Bet feature for more intense sessions. All told, Kings Honor plays quick and bold—you’ll know pretty fast if it suits your style.

Bonuses worth digging for

If there’s one area where Kings Honor stands out, it’s the way it packs the reels with bonuses and extras. Let’s start with the wilds: these aren’t shy about making an entrance. You’ll spot stacked wilds on the main set. Land four vertically on the smaller reel, and every position on those reels gets copied over to the Colossal Reels, then expands. Suddenly, you’ve got a ton of extra wilds in play. Not only do wilds substitute for other symbols (besides the bonus sword), but they often arrive in groups that can explode into big wins.

The Kings Charge bonus is a nice touch—it shows up out of nowhere during base play. Suddenly, a regular symbol (not a wild or card suit) pops up oversized, filling loads of space and giving a shot at a big payout. Land two sword bonus symbols anywhere, and you’ll trigger a Siege Spin: a respin that might drop in the third and final bonus symbol you need to trigger the main feature.

That main feature? The Reel of Honour. Hit sword bonus symbols on reels one, three, and five across both grids, and you get a go at the Wheel. You might grab multipliers or enter free spins. Once the free spins round is on, here’s where the fun really starts. You choose one of five shields, and each can drop a different bonus—massive additions of wilds, sticky wilds, extra free spins, or even all card suits transformed into premium symbols. On the dream run, you hit the Cash Pot and walk away with a prize up to 500x.

What the symbols pay

There are 12 symbols in Kings Honor, not counting the special ones. The king is the big deal here—line up five and it’s 500x your bet, which is as high as the slot pays. The warrior queen sits just behind, worth up to 400x. Crowns and axes pay a hefty 200x, and smaller prizes come from the chalice and Stonehenge—both offer 150x at their best.

The low-paying symbols are classic card suits, which don’t bring much medieval flavor, but at least keep the wins ticking. Wilds come stacked in the bonus rounds, helping you land group wins. The sword bonus is your ticket to the game’s main features, so keep an eye out for it. While there isn’t tons of animation, the stacked symbols—especially the king and queen—stand out nicely, and it’s especially satisfying to see them fill reel after reel.

How to get spinning

It doesn’t take a strategy guide to get started here. Pick your bet using the plus and minus symbols at the bottom. To get a sense of the pace, try the Kings Honor demo or Kings Honor free play first—risk free. All you do is hit the green spin button to start. If you want to let the game play itself, set up the autospins (just keep an eye on your bankroll). The paytable—accessed via the question mark—gives you the lowdown on every symbol and bonus.

During your first few spins, expect clusters of card suits and the occasional stacked king or queen. Wins come often thanks to the 100 paylines, but don’t expect the really big hits every session—those usually need a bonus round with lots of wilds or a generous multiplier.

What other slots compare

If you’ve tried Barcrest’s other big-grid games, you’ll find Kings Honor familiar—especially if you know how the Colossal Reels engine works. It has the wide, dual-reel action you might see in Spartacus or Titanic. For players who prefer a modern Megaways format with loads of ways to win, BGT’s Kingmaker demo slot is worth a try—there, top prizes can run as high as 10,000x your stake, but the gameplay is a little different and a lot more volatile.

Anyone who loves big bonus features and extra gamble mechanics will find Kings Honor fits the bill. For something a bit easier on the eyes, lean towards Book of Dead or Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena—they’re a bit more polished but can feel less feature-packed.

A last nudge—and what to try next

Kings Honor is a busy slot with a feast of features—not just for those who love medieval themes, but for anyone into huge reel sets and big, unpredictable bonus rounds. If you want even more action, check out Kingmaker or Spartacus for that same big, brash style. And if you’re not sure yet, don’t skip the Kings Honor demo or free play version. It’s the easiest way to get a feel for the chaotic, reward-heavy gameplay without risking your own cash.

Barcrest’s lineup is loaded with these big, content-rich slots, so if Kings Honor keeps you coming back, their others will likely scratch the same itch. Just keep an ear out for that epic soundtrack—it can make even an ordinary session feel legendary.
