Locking Archer Slots
Locking Archer slots is a Viking slot with two bonus features and generous payouts. The cinematic music drew us in and that was just part of the pleasant experience. Win up to 50,000 coins per spin whether you’re in a bonus round or the base game.
We’ll start covering the main details starting with the paytable. Here’s what you can win with three, four, or five matching symbols.
- 10 and Jack – 5, 10, or 25 coins
- Queen or King – 10, 25, or 50 coins
- Ace – 15, 30, or 100 coins
- Green-Shirted Man – 20, 50, or 150 coins
- Woman – 25, 75, or 200 coins
- Old Man – 40, 100, or 400 coins
- Viking – 50, 200, or 1,000 coins
There’s also a Locking Scatter carrying a harp. He pays with two or more matching symbols. Prizes are 2, 5, 20, or 100 times your bet.
That leaves the House, which is the key to the free spins and pays 1x, and the Wild. The Wild has no independent value, but it helps form winning paylines.
Understand the Bonus Features
The Locking Scatter awards at least one re-spin when you have two or more on the reels from left to right. The more you have, the more re-spins you receive. Add more Locking Scatters on a re-spin to keep triggering more spins.
Three House Scatters award 10 free spins. At the start of each free spin, a random multiplier of 2x to 5x is awarded. You can retrigger them. The House is only found on the second, third, and fourth reels.
What You Should Know
Locking Archer slots is a lot of fun, but it also wouldn’t be a full game review without a look at our experience playing it. First, here’s a closer look at the game.
- Game Developer: RTG/Spin Logic
- Slot Game Type: 5-reel bonus slot
- Game Theme: Vikings, adventure
- Paylines: 25
- Betting Options: 25 cents to $25
- Game RTP: N/A
Second, we tested Locking Archer with a bet of $2.50 per spin. As the RTP isn’t shared, we always stick to a lower wager. The minimum wager is just 25 cents, so we opted for a wager of 10 cents per line. Landing a 5-of-a-kind right away was unexpected and a great way to kick things off.
- 1st spin - $27.50
- 2nd spin – 50 cents
- 7th spin - $2.50
- 10th spin - $4
We didn’t trigger the free bonus round, though we did get close twice. We also weren’t lucky when it came to the locking scatter. Still, we won more than we risked, which makes this a game we highly recommend.
