“Heroes’ Gathering is another fantastic addition to our in-house slot portfolio that offers engaging boardgame-inspired gameplay and a unique Bonus Round designed to appeal to a range of player styles and audiences. Its classic theme brings all the thrilling features together in a complete package that is both visually appealing and loaded with adventure.”
With the success of shows like The Witcher, Stranger Things and of course, Lord of the Rings, high fantasy has become a much more mainstream setting for films, television shows and now slot machines. Let the adventure begin!
Heroes Assemble!
Relax Gaming has set their magical board game in a typical fantasy setting – the halls of a drab inn. The fantasy themed board game sits on top of a table surrounded by mugs of ale, gold coins, a slowly burning candle and a mage's staff.
The reels of Heroes Gathering sits within the borders of the board game. In keeping with setting the slot machines, high-value symbols comprise a holy Knight, an austere Sorcerer, and an untrustworthy Goblin.
The medium value game symbols include the Knights shield, the Sorcerers spellbook and the Goblins daggers. The three lowest paying symbols are bronze coins containing a red gem, a purple gem and a green gem.
There are three special symbols which will add a magical touch to your time on the reels. A magical orb is the slots Wild, crossed axes with a sword is its Bonus symbol and finally, there is the mysterious Wheel symbol that dispenses values between 1 and 6 when needed.
Weave A Winning Spell
Heroes Gathering is a fantasy soaked high variance video slot that is played across 5-reels and 20 fixed betways with a very generous Return to Player of 96.45%. Trust the fates and mayhap they will turn the games two Free Spins features to your side as you quest the deep dungeons in search for up to 4000x your bet as a reward.
As each Hero knows there is always some sacrifice, in Heroes Gathering you can stake as little as €0.10 up to €100 per game. Your stake will directly impact your reward with a max bet win being worth up to €400,000 should the odds be in your favour.
✓Wilds
Heroes Gathering offers players a magical golden orb as the games Wild. Landing a Wild symbol on any position of any reel will see it complete winning paylines. The only symbol it won’t stand in for is the Bonus symbol.
✓Board Game Mini Feature
Heroes Gathering has been blessed with not one but two free spins features. The first is the Board Game Mini Feature which is triggered by landing only two Bonus symbols somewhere on reels 1, 3 and 5.
Once the feature begins the reels will spin and a Wheel symbol may present itself. When it does the Wheel will produce a value from 1-6. This value determines how many steps your Pawn will take around the board game.
As the Pawn is moved around the board by the outcome of the first Wheel symbol it will activate either the Gold, Silver or Bronze amulet – each of which has a payout value associated with Gold holding the greatest payout potential. The inactive amulets are removed, and the triggered amulet symbols are placed around the game board.
In order to fill the amulet your Pawn needs to land on the corresponding amulet icons. You can also collect win multipliers as you move around the board by landing on a corner spot.
Once the feature is over your line winnings and amulet winnings are added together and presented as your feature win.
✓Board Game Main Feature
Landing a total of 3 Bonus symbols on reels, one on reels 1, 3 and 5 each, will trigger the Free Spins main feature. Unlike the Mini Feature where you get to only play for either Gold, Silver or Bronze amulets in this mode you will win the one you complete first, as collecting 3 pins of any of the three amulets ends the feature.
During the Main Feature each amulet has a higher affinity for some symbols than others. Wins with these symbols will payout plus add 2x the win to the corresponding pot:
- The Gold amulet is associated with the Knight, Sorcerer and Goblin symbols
- The Silver amulet is associated with the Shield, Spell Book and Dagger symbols
- The Bronze amulet is associated with the three Bronze coins
Each spin of the reels during the Main Feature will payout the line value of the spin plus double the value of the line spin is added to an accumulated pot which is won by filling the amulets open pin spots.
Random bet size multipliers and other features are added to your prize pool when you land on one of the three corner positions. These random features are:
- All pieces collected on the amulets are removed, values remain unchanged.
- 5x bet size added to all pots.
- 10x bet size added to all pots.
- 20x bet size will be added to one of the pots.
- 100x bet size will be added to one of the pots.
Finally completing a full circuit of the board game and managing to land on the Start icon will instantly double all current prize pots. If fortune has favoured the bold you could win up to 4000x your stake during this feature!
Your Kingdom Awaits
The premise and execution of Heroes Gathering slot are fantastic. The world is cohesive, and the gameplay is smooth regardless of whether you are playing on your desktop pc or your mobile device. The only downside to the slot is that the Free Spins are the most exciting aspect of the reel actions – with it being high variance it can feel slow if you’re not triggering features regularly. That being said, the fact that you can take home 4000x your bet when it does hit makes it worth seeing through.
