Adventure Palace pokie review
Editor’s verdict - excellent
Why Play This Pokie
- Plenty of options to get you free spins!
- As part of larger game pack apps, it works smoothly and its sounds and graphics come out just right even on the small screen.
- First-class security.
What Could Be Better
- Not many betting options.
- Only one bonus feature in the form of free spins.
- Its age shows in its lack of graphics originality and features.
Adventure Palace has banked on the old wild animal favourites to attract attention, and on its rich wager options and double and triple wins to keep it. It is compatible with all systems and offers smooth graphics and large convenient buttons. While it only has 9 paylines, its jackpot is 150,000 dollars, which, with the wide availability of free spins gives you a strong chance of constant winning.
Introduction
Microgaming has been arguably the best online gaming software developer since 1994. So when you’ve been around that long, chances are you’ll have some properties still living on the ever-evolving internet that will feel like relics when you view them years later. That’s kind of how their pokie Adventure Palace feels, as its graphics and sound are pretty dated compared to the modern slots we are all used to playing.
However, that certainly doesn’t mean it's still not one worth giving a try, and we mean for more than just nostalgia purposes. Despite its simple gameplay with only one real bonus feature (based around free spins), Adventure Palace can win you some rather large real cash payouts. Better yet, AP has some features that you no longer see any more in online pokies, such as its massive amount of betting combinations. Keeping in mind its age, we were very pleased with this title when went through and did our review of Adventure Palace.

Detailed review
Adventure Palace Key Features
It’s not too feature-laden overall, but Adventure Palace’s free spin feature is a nice one regardless of what else this pokie has or doesn’t have going on for it. Our Adventure Palace review crew especially loved:
- All wins during free spins pay out triple
- Paytable adjusts in real time as you adjust your bet options
- Three or more scatters earns you 15 free spins
- Win more free spins during your free games
- Wild symbols double your win
A game that performs well on all devices, and between its free spins & great jackpot it offers plenty to hook you.
Adventure Palace’s base symbols are a variety of different jungle animals. The highest paying of these are the tiger and monkey, followed by the peacock, birds, cobra, and then the A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9 symbols. How much these pay out can be seen in the paytable based upon your bet size. The wild (an elephant) is the true high-paying gem of this pokie, as it pays out 50,000 for five-of-a-kind and 10,000 still for four-of-a-kind on a max bet. To boot, any real cash win that the wild is apart of will double your prize! The scatter symbol (the adventure palace, presumably) also pays out a whopping 22,500 for five of a kind on a max bet and it can earn you a slew of free spins (more on that below in our Adventure Palace online pokies review).
Adventure Palace offers wager options in some unusual amounts, but players of every budget size should be able to find a bet amount that suits their budget. Under $1, you can make bets in any increment of .09 you want, and beyond that wagers can be made at 1.35, 1.80, 2.25, 2.70, 3.60, 4.50, 5.40, 6.75, 7.20, 9.00, 11.25, 13.50, 18.00, 22.50, 27.00, 36.00, and 45.00. Coin size can be adjusted from .01 - 1.00 and you can choose how many of the game’s nine paylines you want to wager. There is an autospin button that lets you spin hands-free as much as you want, along with a win history menu button that will show the game’s biggest winners in recent past and of all time.
Jackpot & bonus games
Adventure Palace’s only real bonus game is its free spin feature. That said, it is a pretty lucrative one, and it is triggered by showing three or more scatter symbols on a single spin. Any wins during these free games are tripled and you can even trigger more free spins during.
And if you count it as a feature, you can also quadruple or double or nothing on any win in the game’s gamble “feature”. This is pretty standard on many pokie machines, especially older ones from Microgaming. When doing our Adventure Palace online pokies review we were a little disappointed by the lack of any other bonus features, however it's important to keep in mind the game’s age and that not every pokie needs to have seven different mini-features that are impossible to keep track of your status toward.
Mobile play
Being an older game, there is no dedicated app for this pokie. However, it is featured in many different online casino apps or on online casinos that allow for in-browser play from your smartphone or tablet. Our Adventure Palace mobile reviewers loved these things about playing this title on the go:
- Huge payouts just the same as when you play on your computer
- Menu interface and paytable are easy to flip through with just your fingers
- Simple graphics guaranteed to look great on any mobile smartphone or tablet
- Sounds and music come through great even on smaller speakers
- Compatible with Android, Apple, Android, Blackberry, Windows, and other mobile devices
Why Adventure Palace Is Worth Playing
After doing our review of Adventure Palace, we think Aussie pokie enthusiasts will view it as a nice break from the more ‘modern’ and often-over complicated video pokies of today. Its simplicity is truly refreshing (as are the giant possible payouts).
- Free spin wins payout triple
- Near-full control over how much you want to bet and on how many paylines
- Scatter symbols pay out way more than basic symbols do (not always the case)
- Simple graphics and rules make it a perfect mobile game (via online casino apps)
- Wilds sub in for all base symbols and pay out doubles when they win
- No dedicated app that requires a download just for one game
