Novomatic’s Shining Crown is an online slot that takes classic slots gameplay one step closer toward video slots. The game has five reels and 10 paylines, special symbols, a jackpot bonus round, and a Gamble feature.

The game’s design has been kept basic, and its reels feature fruit as well as other symbols that often appeared on vintage slot machines. There’s also one Wild and two Scatter symbols.

Shining Crown’s Reel Symbols

The reels on the Shining Crown online slot reels pay out varying amounts of credits. All symbols except the Scatters must appear in consecutive order, from left to right, to form combinations that win.

On the reels are a crown, a gold dollar sign, a pink star, a red seven, a slice of watermelon, two cherries, a lemon cut in half, a bunch of grapes, a brass bell, two plums, and an orange.

The crown is Wild, and the dollar sign and star are Scatters. The red seven pays the most, with a top payout of 100 000 credits for five in a row.

Five watermelons and five grape bunches in a row each pay out 14 000 credits. The bell, cherries, lemons, plums, and orange pay out lower values.

Shining Crown Wild Symbol

The Shining Crown Wild symbol does not produce any payouts of its own, but it can substitute for all the other reel symbols except the two Scatters. It appears on the second, third, and fourth reels.

Being able to substitute for other symbols means it can help those symbols complete combinations that win.

Two Shining Crown Scatter Symbols

The two Scatter symbols in Shining Crown both offer Scatter wins from any position on the reels. However, while the gold dollar sign appears on all reels, the pink star appears on the first, third, and fifth reels only.

The dollar sign will pay out 1000, 4000, or 20 000 credits if three, four, or five of them appear, but the pink star will only pay if it appears on all three of its reels. The star pays 4000 credits.

Shining Crown Jackpot Bonus Feature

The randomly triggered Shining Crown online slot jackpot bonus round features four different jackpot amounts. Each jackpot is linked to one of the four suits of a standard deck of playing cards.

The game is played in a second screen, and requires three of 12 face-down cards to be selected. The selected cards are turned over, and if the three cards are of the same suit, the jackpot linked to that suit is won.

Optional Gamble Feature

The Shining Crown online slot no deposit casino Gamble feature is optional, and offers a mini game that can be used to gamble winnings. The option of using the feature can be taken whenever a spin of the reels results in a payout.

A face-down card’s colour must be guessed as either red or black. The answer is revealed once the choice has been made.

If the colour of the card matches the choice, winnings are doubled. If the card’s colour is revealed as the one that was not chosen, winnings will be lost.

Basic Playing Steps

The Shining Crown online slot paylines are fixed, so lines are not selected before bets are placed. Instead, one of five different bet buttons is selected.

The buttons are in bets of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 credits per spin. The reels will spin automatically when the bet button is selected.
