The original The Crown pokie saw Vinnie Jones appear in dangerous places with some dangerous people. With him, you had a chance to visit The Crown, The Bullseye, The Drunken Duck, and Michael’s Whiskey Tavern.
The sequel will not give you a chance to have a drink but you will fight for your king and your country. Vinnie Jones will not be on the right side of the law, if you know what I mean. So, decide for yourself whether you will be helping Vinnie or the guards. Either way, you will pocket some cash.
Vinnie is the Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols. Brass knuckle, his favourite toy, is the top-paying regular symbol. He will be chased by police cars, helicopters, and royal guards. Heck, someone also sent a crow looking for the bloke.
Classic playing cards are used for low-paying icons. To reach the treasury, Vinnie will use dynamite. It can also be used as a Scatter that triggers free spins. Expect to see plenty of crowns on the reels. These are Scatters that trigger the XtraLock feature.
The Crown Reloaded XtraLock is a fast game and you need to think quickly and follow the instructions if you don’t want to get caught. The 2024 release is played on a 5×3 grid and benefits from 50 fixed paylines that pay left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel.
To win a payout, you need at least 3 matching icons on a payline. 3-of-a-kind is the minimum for landing payouts. With Vinnie Wild and brass knuckles, you can form winning combos also with 2-of-a-kind. The Swintt title is a medium-variance pokie with 94.27% RTP and 200,500x max payout.
Action movies are usually loaded with loads of extras to keep you on the edge of your seat. I promise you that you will never be bored with Vinnie Jones. Apart from the fact that Vinnie tends to appear in stacks, he also appears as a Wild reel in free spins.
To see that, you need to land 3+ dynamite Scatters. Also, when you get your hands on 6+ crown Scatters, you will trigger the Xtralock feature and battle for fixed jackpots and cash prizes.
Vinnie Wilds appear in stacks on all reels both in the base game and during free spins. Stacked Wilds helped me on several occasions. I won as much as 20x in the base game with the little help of Stacked Wilds.
With 3+ dynamite Scatters anywhere on the reels, you will trigger 12 free spins. You can always retrigger the feature with 3+ extra Scatters. In free spins, Vinnie Jones Wild will occupy the entire central reel, turning it into a Wild reel.
I triggered the feature twice. The first time I won around 50x, while on the second occasion, I was much more successful. I retriggered the feature, got 24 free spins in total, and won over 150x the bet.
When 6+ crown Scatters appear on the reels at the same time, you trigger the XtraLock feature. You get 5 respins during which only crowns land. The triggering crowns remain in their positions and new ones can appear. Each crown will bring you a certain instant prize.
Crowns on neighbouring cells can turn into Colossal Symbols that can cover between 4 and 15 positions. Depending on the size of the Colossal Symbol, you can win Minor, Major, Super, or Mega bonuses.
I triggered the feature 3 times and on every occasion, my win was lower than 20x. In fact, my total wins ranged from 16x to 19x. As you may suppose, I was not very satisfied with the XtraLock feature.
For a price of 75x, you can buy the XtraLock feature. I do not advise it because it usually delivers lower payouts. For example, I won 15x and 17x on the two times I tested the feature. I paid 150x in total and won only 27x.
I just love watching Vinnie Jones. He is a perfect villain, eh? A crook that you have to love. And I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of The Crown Reloaded XtraLock pokie. It offers everything an action junkie needs – a decent amount of extras, loads of fun, and decent payouts.
Free spins are my favourites. You can win plenty especially if you manage to retrigger the feature. I was not that impressed with the XtraLock feature. Probably because I didn’t win much. Maybe you will have more luck than me.
The visuals and the soundtrack are quite good. In fact, I dare to say that the sequel is somewhat better than the original The Crown pokie. I rate The Crown Reloaded XtraLock 8.5.
