Some online slots merge various genres seamlessly and some others mix themes in a mysterious kind of way; Microgaming’s Chain Mail falls into that latter category and even after playing it for some time we’re not exactly sure of the subject matter.  There’s some appropriately medieval stuff going on here which relates to the title but there’s also actual mail – letters and the like – plus a range of fast food. Make of it what you will.

Chain Mail has five reels and twenty paylines and it’s a certainly a colourful affair; it’s set against a backdrop of fortified castle walls and all the symbols are related to certain aspects of the theme.

From low to high value we have a ‘Cocoknight’ choc ice, an ice cream wearing some gold headgear, a sort of arrow kebab, a bucket of fried chicken, a pizza, a red post box, a horse and the male and female leads (she’s speaking on a mobile phone so this game may not be completely historically accurate).

The game’s logo is the wild, there’s a green postbag scatter and the raised drawbridge is the bonus symbol.
