theme, stakes, pays & symbols

There aren’t many cruise ship or even holiday inspired games in the slot world, which is strange if you stop to think about it. Everybody loves to go away to unwind, and you’d imagine that a theme involving the glitz and glamour of a high-end luxury cruise liner would be a great inspiration for developers. So, it’s good to see that PG Soft has identified this, and it's great to see a game involving a setting that’s a bit different to the norm. They do, however, have some other titles in their catalogue that fit nicely into this niche. For example, Songkran Splash is inspired by Thailand’s national holiday of the same name. This five-reel slot is full of beach vibes, sun, and fun and features increasing multipliers, an RTP of 96.69%, and a maximum win of 5,000x. Or how about Hawaiian Tiki? Set on an island of dreams, with blue skies, palm trees and golden beaches, this six-reel game with expanding wilds, a free spins bonus, an RTP of 96.76%, and a maximum win of 2,500x may well be your ideal destination. Coming up, we’ll take a more detailed look into the features of Cruise Royale, starting with the pays section.

Taking the prize for the top symbol on the paytable are the Casino Chips and Dice, which will return 5x your stake for each line of six symbols. Next, the Glass, Cigar, and Lobster pay 1.25x, and closely following these are the three remaining premium symbols, which are the Magicians’ Hat, the Bowling Equipment, and the Life Buoy, which all return 1x. The standard A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9 comprise the non-premium symbols, and these will pay 0.5x, 0.5x, 0.5x, 0.4x, 0.4x, and 0.4x, respectively, per line of six. 

When it comes to the stakes, typically from a PG Soft game, there’s plenty on offer. There are 33 options to choose from, to be precise, ranging from as low as €0.60 to as high as €180.00 on the Cruise Royale slot, ensuring an abundance of possibilities. Those small stake players may feel that €0.60 is slightly high for them, but I have a feeling this stake is used only on the demo, and real money play will offer far lower values to play at.

base game & modifiers

Looking at the game mechanics, we can see that Cruise Royale operates on a six-reel, four-row grid, with an additional horizontal, single line of rows above reels 2-4, with this essentially creating a 4-5-5-5-5-4-reel formation. The cascading reels system is utilised, with any symbols that are involved in a win being removed from the grid, which then makes additional space for further symbols to drop in from the top, offering the opportunity for multiple wins and cascades to take place within a single game round. As standard with most slots, wins are achieved by matching a minimum of three symbols from left to right.
