Hall of the Mountain King is a 5x3 slot with 20 fixed paylines. It’s compatible with desktop and mobile, so you can play however you want to. To get started, just follow these quick steps:
I found Hall of the Mountain King’s controls nice and straightforward, which is so important for a good playing experience. The command panel at the bottom of the screen contains the Spin button, Autoplay button, Fast Play button, bet indicator, Menu button, and Settings button.
Hall of the Mountain King’s symbols include basic royals, a group of orcs, a hammer Scatter, and a Wild. The ten and J pay 2.50x your bet for 5, while the K and Q offer 4x instead. Land 5 A symbols to win 6.25x your stake.
The grey orc, green orc, and purple orc pay 7.50x, 10x, and 15x your bet for 5, respectively. The glamorous orange orc is worth 20x for 5. Finally, the red orc and Wild pay 40x for five each.
If you manage to land three to four matching symbols on a payline (with or without Wilds), you’ll win a prize. Wild and Scatter symbols, though, can trigger the bonus features.
Here are all the bonuses you can find in Hall of the Mountain King:
Each Wild that lands activates a multiplier on the meter on the left of the screen.
When Wild symbols activate multipliers on the meter, all wins are multiplied by the highest-activated multiplier. Multipliers get a boost in the Free Spins Bonus, and the maximum available is 15.
Land three Bonus Scatters to trigger this feature. It has three stages, each with its own feature. You progress from one stage to another when the top block in the Bonus Meter is destroyed.
Hall of the Mountain King offers a top payout of 7,326x your stake.
The RTP for Hall of the Mountain King is 96.29% — better than the 96% average for slots. But the volatility is very high, so you might be waiting a while for bigger payouts to land. Wins were generally sporadic in my playthrough.
Hall of the Mountain King features crisp, sharp, and colourful graphics. The game is set in a fantastical land with a massive mountain behind the reels. The different orcs on the reels look impressive, each with their own outfit, hair, and colour.
Hall of the Mountain King also uses the famous piece of orchestral music that the game is named after, which has a fun and mischievous sound.

Hall of the Mountain King is just one of many slots featuring a fantasy setting, magical creatures, and tough characters. Here are three others to check out:
Forbidden Throne is filled with magic, mythical animals, and warriors. It includes a Free Spins feature and a Wild Reels bonus.
Dark King: Forbidden Riches stars awesome, heavily armoured characters and a Free Spins round with sticky Wilds.
Viking Forge might not be a pure fantasy world, but it has a style similar to that of Hall of the Mountain King. You can play for up to 10,000 your stake!
I really like Hall of the Mountain King. Not only does it look great, but the game offers a solid max win of more than 7,000x your bet, has an above-average RTP, and includes strong bonuses. The Free Spins feature has a progressive element with three stages to explore, and you can take your winnings higher with the Multiplier Meter.
