Chain Mail

Head back to medieval times for some reel-spinning fun in Chain Mail slot. It seems the story behind this game is that a Princess named Roxy and a handsome knight are being kept apart by a miserable King. However, with the help of a majestic horse and a talking mailbox, they are able to send love letters to one another. This madcap Microgaming slot has nice graphics and sounds but is playable on desktop devices only.

How To Play Chain Mail Slot

You can’t go far wrong with Chain Mail online slot but it’s always best to take a look at the paytable before you spin the reels. Click ‘Pays’ on the right-hand side to see the values of each prize symbol, bet line mappings and learn how the bonus features work.

You’ll see that Roxy is the most valuable standard symbol. Get 5 of a kind for a return of 1,000x your bet line stake. Wilds can substitute for any symbol except scatter symbols and pay double when doing so. Wild symbols can also combine with one another to award a jackpot payout of 10,000x your bet line stake for 5 of a kind. In order to make a winning combination, matching symbols must appear in succession from left to right on a bet line, beginning at the leftmost reel.

The above rule does not apply to scatter symbols which can combine anywhere on the reels. Get 3 or more scatter for a return on top of any bet line wins, up to 100x your overall stake for 5 scatter symbols. In getting 3 or more scatters, you will also trigger the bonus feature.

In the Castle Bonus, you will be presented with 7 doors on 5 floors. Starting on the ground floor, pick a door to reveal a bonus prize. Continue moving up the floors until you have picked a door on each floor or the appearance of the King ends the bonus game. Find the Princess to win all bonus prizes on that floor. If you collect any free spins on the way, they will be played immediately after the picking game. All wins in free spins are doubled but you cannot retrigger the feature until the base game has resumed.

Setting up the game is a simple process that only takes a few seconds. Click ‘Bet’ and use the arrows to set your coin value and number of coins. The overall cost of the bet per spin will be shown below. You can then either click ‘Spin’ to play manually or ‘Autoplay’ to program in up to 500 automated spins.

There is a tab in the bottom-right which opens up a small menu. The ‘Options’ screen allows you to use quick spin, adjust graphics and toggle the use of various game sounds. The ‘Stats’ screen shows details of your spins and best wins for the current session. The ‘Help’ button opens up a window with detailed game rules and instructions. This can also be reached via a question mark in the top-right which is next to a speaker icon for muting/unmuting all sounds.

Chain Mail Slot Tips

You can play Chain Mail at 188BET Casino among other Microgaming operators. You won’t see it featured in any welcome packages but it can be played with bonus cash. In fact, because of this slot’s good return to player (RTP) and the way it plays, it’s ideal for wagering through a casino bonus.

You can get some big wins in this game but not the kind of life-changing cash offered on progressive slots. We played well over 1,000 spins and noticed that there were hardly any barran spells of more than 5 losing spins. The activity of the wilds had a lot to do with this and the fact that wild wins are doubled really helps to boost returns. Your best chance of landing a big win comes in the Castle Bonus.

We played at £5 per spin and won £245 in the feature while also pocketing 10 free spins, with which we won a further £227.50 for a total haul of £472.50. However, next time we were not so lucky and only made it to the fourth floor before finding the King for just £95. On our third hit. we got £195 in the castle which increased to £250 after 10 free spins. As you can see, you have to take the rough with the smooth in this feature but the jackpot is worth a massive 20,000x your bet line stake in free spins.

Chain Mail - Video Slot

Is Chain Mail The Right Slot For You?

Chain Mail video slot rates as a medium variance game. This is because you neither get lots of small wins or extremely rare big wins, with this slot falling in between the two extremes. The RTP is 97.13% which gives the casino a house edge of 2.87%. This is really good for an online slot and with sensible staking, you shouldn’t encounter any severe losses over long-term play.

The theme is by no means serious, so if you like lighthearted slots then this should be right up your street. With the quick spin option enabled you can breeze through the game at quite a rate. Animations are minimal, so will not interrupt your flow and you can always click to skip them if you wish.

The bonus feature is great fun to play and is a nice adaptation of the traditional picking game. It also adds another barrier between you and the rewarding free spins game which tends to hold the key to getting better casino rewards. Altogether, we found this to be a thoroughly entertaining slot that can be used to beat bonuses and maximise the entertainment of your bankroll.
