The Aristocrats: Step Into the Royal Palace for up to 10,000x Wins

Put yourself in the shoes of European royalty as you spin the reels of The Aristocrats. The three coin pots are linked to enhancers for the randomly triggered Hold and Win respins feature, and the game also offers a bonus buy option. So, I wanted to see what the respins could deliver in a game with a maximum win of 10,000x my bet.

The Aristocrats has a 5x3 grid and 25 fixed paylines. Base-game wins were infrequent during my session. My highest payout was 18x my bet, scored early on, but many wins paid less than my stake.

I was surprised that even three-of-a-kind wins with the highest-paying symbols paid less than my bet. Three male royalty symbols paid 0.4x my bet, while three wilds paid 0.6x. Most of my bigger base-game wins included wilds.

Regular play didn’t bring much excitement, despite the short pot-filling animations that appeared roughly every other spin. Luckily, about five minutes into my session, I triggered the Hold and Win feature.

The feature started with 6 coins and gave me 3 respins across two sets of reels. New coins reset the respin counter several times. With the help of the collect, multi pot, and double symbols, I ended the feature with a payout of 122x my bet.

Since the following spins weren’t very eventful, I paid 70x my bet to buy the feature. It started with 4 coins and the collect feature active. After several resets, the round ended with a 57x payout, leaving me down 13x on the purchase.

I think The Aristocrats is a well-designed slot with a timeless royalty theme and an enjoyable respins feature. The main letdown for me was the small, infrequent base-game wins. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the slot and would advise players who like Hold and Win features with special symbols to try it out.
