King of Macedonia

King of Macedonia is an Ancient Greek-themed slot developed by IGT. The game is set against a backdrop of rolling Macedonian hills, with a grand palace visible in the distance. The reels are framed by ornate golden columns adorned with swords, creating a regal yet martial atmosphere.

The main character of the slot is Alexander the Great, depicted as a gigantic wild symbol. Other characters include Roxana, Alexander's wife, who appears as a high-paying symbol. The game features various Ancient Greek artifacts as symbols, including warrior helmets, lutes, scrolls, jewelry boxes, Greek vases, and amphorae.

Core Game Mechanics

King of Macedonia is a 5×5 reel slot with 40 fixed paylines. The game has a medium volatility and an RTP of 96.10%. Players can bet from 0.80 to 1,600 coins per spin, making it suitable for both low and high rollers.

The slot uses a standard left-to-right pay mechanism, with most symbols requiring at least three matches for a win. Higher-paying symbols award prizes for just two matches. The base game is enhanced by the presence of stacked symbols and the unique gigantic wild feature.

The gigantic wild, depicting Alexander the Great, is a standout feature. It covers 2×5 spaces and can land on reels 2-3 or 4-5, potentially creating multiple winning combinations.
