Draw your virtual swords as Stakelogic transports you back to the 12th Century Crusades, to defend your kingdom in Emperor’s Champion. Players are tasked with protecting the emperor and proving their worth on the reels, with prizes of up to 12,500x your stake and a plethora of exciting bonus features up for grabs.
This epic battle takes place across a 5×4 game grid, serving up 20 active paylines on every spin. Players will need to keep their eyes out for a range of special symbols that can land during the base game and the Free Spins round.
Multiplier Wilds can land on any spin. In addition to substituting for other symbols to help create winning combinations, these can display multipliers of up to 5x in the base game and 10x in the Free Spins round. These Multipliers are instantly applied to any wins they are a part of, significantly increasing your chances of hitting a tasty win.
Speaking of the Free Spins round, this is triggered when players land three bonus symbols on reels 1,3 and 5. However, this is no ordinary free spins bonus. At the start of the round, a trail appears above the reels, progressing one stage on every spin.
Any Wilds that land during the Free Spins will leave behind one of three colored Wild Frames. These remain persistent on the grid until the final spin. Landing further wilds inside the Frames will upgrade the Frames. In the final spin all the Frames that have been collected on the reels will become their corresponding Wilds or Multiplier Wilds.
The mighty Champion Symbol can land on any spin and will provide boosts for other symbols on the grid. They can upgrade Wild Symbols into Multiplier Wilds in both the base game and the Free Spins round. The Champion will also destroy Bonus symbols, turning them into maximum Multiplier Wilds, up to x10.
Finally, the Crusade bonus can trigger on any random spin, adding a Champion symbol and two Wild symbols anywhere on the reels.
This being a Stakelogic slot, players can activate several side bets, including the Spin to Win progressive jackpot and the Super Wheel bonus. The Super Wheel bonus, if triggered, transports players from the online slot world straight to a live studio, where they can spin the Super Wheel to trigger more bonuses or win big prizes.
James Jelliffe, Head of Games Design at Stakelogic, said: “Epic is our middle name here at Stakelogic, and slot action doesn’t get much more epic than defending a kingdom against an oncoming enemy.”
“We had great fun building the world in Emperor’s Champion. Fantasy slots give our team a chance to explore new worlds and try exciting ideas, all of which are on full display here. Of course, the slot is much more than just its theme; it serves up huge winning potential and offers a selection of bonus features we are all incredibly proud of. “
