Downton Abbey Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

Arguably one of the most popular British period dramas in history (and once of the most viewed), Downton Abbey is deserving of a well made pokie machine, and Aristocrat Gaming Technologies have risen to the challenge, and delivered – and more!

Due to the popularity of the game, it’s quickly become a player-favourite, and it’s clear Downton Abbey is popular, even years after its initial release! In fact, a recent quote from Sam Wollaston of The Guardian said;

“It’s beautifully made—handsome, artfully crafted and acted. Smith, who plays the formidable and disdainful Dowager Countess, has a lovely way of delivering words, always spaced to perfection. This is going to be a treat if you like a lavish period drama of a Sunday evening.”

The publication of all this positive acclaim helped Aristocrat Gaming Technologies decide it was the right time to make a Video Slot that fitted, and here it is!

Game Features

Downton Abbey pokie machine offers a bonus round that’s triggered by landing three or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view across the reels.

Once you trigger the bonus round, you’ll be taken to Mrs Patmore’s Kitchen – a key character in the TV show – and you are given 10 spins to begin with.

You can re-trigger more free spins simply by landing three or more scatter symbols once again anywhere in view on the reels.

During the free spins round, you’ll notice expanded wild reels become commonplace, and if you’re lucky enough to land 2 or more of these on a singular spin, you’re in with a great chance of a big win.

This becomes even more relevant if you can manage to land them on reels 1 and 2, 1 and 3, or 2 and 3, as this guarantees wins, and takes matching just one symbol on the 4th or 5th reels to make lucrative 4 of a kind and 5 of a kind pay lines!

Now one of the interesting things about the bonus round in the Downton Abbey Video Slot, is that’s it’s not quick, by any means. In fact, the pace of the bonus round takes some players back a little; it’s quite slow, designed to cater to players who enjoy the game, and who like to see real-life clips of the TV show, instead of on-screen graphics.

This obviously caters to older players – particularly those who are fans of the show itself – but don’t let that fool you into thinking this game is only for the “oldies” – nope, it’s got a ton of entertainment inside, and is well-worth checking out if you get the chance to do so!
