Nine Realms Slots

All of the big budget films today tend to have some kind of magical thing to them. It will either be superheroes, or something more related to the classic takes on Lord of the Rings. This Real Time Gaming slot has a Game of Thrones-looking title and takes a lot from the Lord of the Rings world. It has some of the best graphics we've ever seen, combined with a Norse-looking art style that is perfect for what they are trying to do. Even if you're not a fan of that kind of thing, this game looks so good it might change your mind.

Theme

The theme of this game is to make you a warrior fighting among the gods of a Norse kingdom. It features different potions, warriors, gods, goddesses, and runic symbols to match. Everything is very dark and lends itself to the theme very well. There is a portal, and if that pops up, there are also many bonuses associated with it. It's one of the more inventive uses of that design we have ever seen.

Nine Realms offers 40 paylines. The volatility is quite high, with the top award being 2,500 times the base bet. There are three separate scatter symbols, and landing enough of them awards free games—seven in total. There are also many different mystical zones you can match between the different reels. Each reel represents a different mystical zone, and matching symbols across them triggers unique features. You can trigger the free games feature, have it morph into the warrior, and then a portal pops open. It sounds complicated, but in practice, it looks and plays perfectly.

Great Looks

One of our favorite things about this game is that it looks like no other. Many games in a particular genre have a similar feel and look. This isn't necessarily bad—there's something comforting about playing a game you know you'll like. They went out on a limb here, however, and we think they should be rewarded for it. It's new and vibrant, and would be perfectly fitting for its own Netflix series.

Our main complaint about this lovely game is that although it has many scatters and jackpots, there is no grand progressive jackpot. That would add a lot to the experience, making you feel like you were building up towards something really amazing that can happen at any moment. It also introduces strategy to your betting. Here, whether you bet a lot or a little, it won't matter as much without a progressive jackpot.

On mobile devices, this game really shines. The look and feel holds up wonderfully on OLED screens, the lovely blacks being as dark as you could possibly get them. They clearly spent a lot of time optimizing for mobile. The effort was entirely worth it, making it one of the best-looking games in the dark genre. The dark theme was well chosen for this title. Whether you have an Android or an iPhone, it's going to be one of the greatest games on your phone.

It also matches up with the rest of the market when it comes to features, meaning there's nothing they did wrong about it outside of no progressive jackpot, and it can go toe to toe with any of the best games out there.
