Enter the land of sweet wins in Armadillo Studios’ Cookie Kingdom
Armadillo Studios takes players on a delicious adventure in a world filled with animals reimagined as sweets in its latest slot Cookie Kingdom.
This delectable 6×5, very high volatility slot game is packed with adorable animals reimagined as mouth-watering treats, promising a gaming experience like no other.
Land a total number of matching symbols anywhere on the reels to score a win. After each winning combination symbols are removed making way for new ones to cascade into place, creating even more chances to score huge prizes.
Trigger and unlock up to 10 Free Spins by landing four or more Scatter symbols. Special Cookie Jar and Cookie Wrap multiplier symbols can appear anywhere on the reels during this mode.
Additionally, wins featuring at least one Cookie Wrap multiplier initiate a Global Multiplier equal to the sum of all Cookie Wrap symbols landed. The global multiplier increases by adding subsequent Cookie Wrap symbols involved in a win.
And that’s not all. All values of landed Cookie Jar multiplier symbols are combined during Free Spins. The total win from the tumbling sequence is multiplied by the sum of the Cookie Jar values and the global multiplier.
Land three Scatter symbols during this mode to retrigger the feature and receive an additional five free spins. Boost your chances of triggering Free Spins in the base game with Golden Bet.
Armadillo Studios has released a series of hit titles, including Cookie Bonanza, Hot Hot Balloons, Paws and Claws: A Tail of Fortune, Gummy Galaxy, Shamrock Surprise, Shuang Long Fu, Alice’s Mad Fortune, and many more.
David Stoveld, COO of Armadillo Studios, said: “Cookie Bonanza was an instant hit, so we took it upon ourselves to create an even cuter and tastier universe. The result is Cookie Kingdom, a world full of tasty animal-shaped cookies and fun mechanics.”
