"Kaiser" is an engaging and visually captivating video slot game developed by Peter & Sons. The game is structured with a 5x5 reel layout and offers players 40 different ways to win. An intriguing aspect of "Kaiser" is the potential for substantial rewards, as players can win up to 2,333 times their initial bet. The game also features a medium to high volatility, appealing to players who enjoy a balance of frequent wins and the chance for larger payouts.
The theme of "Kaiser" is steeped in a Germanic setting, and this is reflected in the symbols used throughout the game. Winning combinations are formed when three to five matching symbols land adjacently, starting from the leftmost reel. The symbols begin with the lower-value 10-A card symbols and progress to more thematic icons such as cheese, pretzels, German officers, and smiling nurses. The latter two symbols, representing German officers and nurses, are the game's premium symbols. Landing a combination of five of these symbols can reward players with 10 to 15 times their stake.
During the base game, wild symbols are depicted as Pilsner beer labels, which transform into Eagle emblems during the free spins round. In both instances, these wilds can substitute for regular pay symbols to help form winning combinations. Additionally, a line of five wilds can yield up to 20 times the bet. "Kaiser" features a variety of gameplay elements centred around wilds, multipliers, and free spins. The Wild Multiplier feature in the base game is particularly notable. Here, 3 to 10 wild symbols can randomly appear in any position on the reels, activating a win multiplier in the process. This Multiplier Signal starts at x1 and increases to x2 and then x3 with each subsequent trigger. After reaching x3, the cycle restarts at x1.
The game's scatter symbol is a golden box adorned with what appears to be the Kaiser's image, appearing on the middle three reels. Landing three scatters simultaneously triggers the Kaiser Free Spins feature, awarding 7 free spins. At the start of this bonus round, 3 to 10 Roaming Wild Multiplier symbols are placed randomly on the grid. These symbols change positions randomly between spins. Additionally, scatters can be collected during the free spins, which increases the wild symbols' multiplier level from x1 up to x5. Each time the multiplier level is upgraded, players receive an additional 2 free spins.
