1. Interface

Rabcat is a famous slot development company that uses innovative methods to keep players entertained and that works hard to make the interface of the game as interesting as possible. Because Castle Builder is a video slot with 15 reels, the reels occupy a very minimal portion of the screen. The left portion of the screen is designated to the building site, where the progress of the construction of the castle is shown. The castles are detailed and grow as you move forward in the game.

2. Payouts

This video slot is an interesting slot with ample opportunities for players to win a huge sum easily. Apart from bonuses, there are plenty of regular prizes which can substantially increase your winnings. The minimum bet which can be placed on a reel is $0.01 and the maximum betting amount is $1 for a $15 maximum spin. It is not mandatory that you play on all 15 paylines; instead, you can choose to play on as many paylines as you wish. There are a total of eight coins with denominations ranging from $0.01 to $1. If a player chooses to bet on all the paylines, he can easily win the top payout of 20,000 credits, which is quite generous.

3. Technology

Since it has been moved to the interface of Microgaming, the company has used advanced technology to run this slot, which offers an unmatched gaming experience without any lag. The sound quality of the music running in the background is superior to the quality of the music of other slots. All in all, we can say that Microgaming has put in a lot of effort to make Castle Builder a slot which runs on advanced technology. You will not feel even a slight lag in the game play.

4. Compatibility

As of now, the Castle Builder slot is not available on mobile devices. Microgaming is planning to release Castle Builder II, which is speculated to be compatible with both Android and iOS devices. You can play this slot on various online casinos on your desktop. You can also play this video slot in many popular land-based casinos.

5. RTP and Maximum Win

When the slot was released under Rabcat, there was no information available about the Return to Player (RTP) of the slot, not even on the official website. Under Microgaming, which is a very popular gaming software provider, the theoretical RTP of the slot is 96.47%, which is quite generous. As compared to other Microgaming slots, Castle Builder has a slightly lower maximum payout, and you will probably be disappointed if you are a regular player of Microgaming slots. You can win a maximum payout of 20,000 coins if you happen to land five wild symbols or five locked door symbols on the active reels.

6. Symbols

The slot is based on the theme of castles; therefore, the main symbols which are frequently available are castles, a king, two of the king’s daughters whom he wants to get married, the king’s son, a jewellery box, money pouches, a treasure chest, locked doors, building material used to make castles, and an architect who will help you in building castles. Instead of incorporating card symbols like other contemporary slots, Castle Builder has actual figures of the king, queen, prince, and princesses; the card symbols K, Q, J, and 10 are attached to them to create a more realistic look.

You will build four castles in four different levels, namely, Forana, Ethril, Ilrian, and Empire. Every time a castle is completed, a bonus round will get activated. A good-looking, grey-colored architect who helps you build the castles is the wild symbol in the game and can replace all other symbols, except the scatter symbol, to create a winning combination.

Apart from this, there are several other symbols in the form of gold, bronze, and steel building materials. The point is to collect as many of these symbols as you can to get more rewards.

 

7. Features

The main feature of the slot is the castle which must be built for the prince and princesses. There are two in-game bonus features which can fetch you a huge sum. Below we have described both features along with the prizes you can win through them.

Build Castles:

Progressing in the game, you will build castles in various stages. You need 11 building blocks to complete a castle. There are a total of 10 castles and one empire where you need to build five castles. The first three castles are quite challenging, and there are better opportunities to get decent prizes. The marriage click feature, which is explained below, further increases your chances of winning. You will win symbols as soon as you build a castle. A list of castles and corresponding symbols is given below:

 

Castle 1 = collect 10 symbols

Castle 2 = collect 11 symbols

Castle 3 = collect 12 symbols

Castle 4 = collect 13 symbols

Castle 5 = collect 14 symbols

Castle 6 = collect 15 symbols

Castle 7 = collect 16 symbols

Castle 8 = collect 17 symbols

Castle 9 = collect 18 symbols

Castle 10 = collect 20 symbols

Empire Castles (5 castles) = collect 30 symbols

 

There are three pots on the screen which are filled as you start building castles. Also, getting five symbols will fetch you more than getting two symbols; therefore, focus on getting more symbols to fill up the pots quickly and win as much as possible.

Click Me Royal Wedding Feature:

As we have already told you, in this slot you are building castles for a king who wants to get his daughters married. So, once you finish the process of building the castle, you will be given a choice of three suitors to marry the owners of the castle. Out of these three suitors, you need to pick one. These suitors symbolize the three pots which you have filled by collecting symbols, as we have discussed in the paragraph above.

 

The catch here is that you don’t know which pot is small, medium, or large. It’s a random choice and it’s not necessarily the case that the best-looking prince represents the bigger pot. All three princes offer different amounts of cash, so be careful while picking a suitor. Once you have picked a suitor, the amount will be revealed and the game will continue. Now you need to build the next castle to marry the other sons and daughters of the king. Since there are various kings and castles in the game, it is quite difficult to trace and keep a record of each one of them. As a solution, you will be given a map which is visible when you click the ‘Map’ icon on the top right corner of the screen.

Conclusion:

The Castle Builder video slot has adopted an altogether different approach in the slot gaming world. This uniquely themed slot has many things to offer. Apart from a good storyline, you can win a good sum by getting symbols. The two bonus features also increase your chances of winning. To conclude, we would say that it is a must-play slot by Microgaming, which has several other interesting slots. This slot is entertaining and fruitful, and has amazing graphics for players.
