Castle Builder II

Castle Builder II Slot Review

Castle Builder II combines fantasy videogame elements with slot gameplay to create something entirely new! Choose your character. Gather your stores of building materials as you hit winning lines. Use those stores to build up various different castles, which change the reels’ background and improve your prizes. You can even hit large cash payouts when the Royal Wedding arrives at your castle gates – will you pick the right suitor?

Unlike most slots out there, Castle Builder II’s reels are only half the focus of this totally unique game. The other half of the screen is taken up by one of many picturesque locations with the foundations of a castle taking centre stage.

As you play, the castle builds up – and once it’s finished you can move to a different location on an interactive map. Everything from the music to the reel sounds then changes based on that location, and a new castle begins construction! There are not many slot games out there quite like Castle Builder II that we can compare it to.

An equally oddball format game is Kobushi, a sushi-ninja (yes, sushi ninjas) cartoon slot by iSoftBet. It features occasionally side scrolling reels and some character progression. A modern yet more traditional slot game with a similar theme is the hugely popular Game of Thrones jackpot slot by Microgaming, licenced from the equally massive TV show and book series.

Overall Rabcat’s Castle Builder II could easily be the most unique online slot game you’ve seen. It was one of ours, and we’ve played literally thousands of titles. Yes, it can be fairly complicated at first, and a little intimidating for new players. However, it’s got excellent graphics and sound, innovative gameplay and the potential for great prizes that level up as you play!

How to Play Castle Builder II

The setup here is five reels and 15 paylines. You can adjust your stake per line – from 0.01 (total 0.15) up to 2 per line, or 30 total. If you get tired of building castles on your way to completing the kingdom, there’s also an Autospin feature!

The overall RTP of Castle Builder II is between 95.5% and 97.75%. That’s because the structure of this game guarantees you’ll get access to potentially bigger wins the more you play. For example, you get stacked Wilds (and therefore a higher RTP) if you pick the character Igor at the start. But he’s only available once you’ve completed all the castles in the game with one of the other characters.

Building castles then – it’s the name of the game. Therefore, half the symbols, the lower paying ones, are raw materials: wood, stone, bricks, iron ore. Each time you win a line with these in, you’ll add the winning symbols into box on the castle side of the screen. Fill the box, which takes 5-15 pieces depending on the castle’s level, to get a building block. A piece is added to the castle, with a cool animation, and the building meter moves along.

There are also two special symbols:

• Wild symbols stand in for any other symbol when creating a winning line. They take the form of whichever character you picked at the beginning.
• The scatter symbol is a sort of whirpool thing. It’s only available playing as the character Mandy. Pull three or more of them to start the free spins round, with 10 spins if you pull 3 and up to 20 spins for all 5.

Castle Builder II Features

This whole game is a super fun to play and totally unique among online slots. However, it’s better if you can put in the time, as the biggest potential prizes come after you complete castles. At top levels that can take some investment. Still, it looks great and plays like a dream – even for casual players.
