Occasionally an online slot pops up which is difficult to pigeonhole; categorising everything isn’t always the best use of one’s time but slots usually fit into one of several genres. Rhyming Reels Old King Cole from Microgaming is one such game and it ticks several boxes such as nursery rhymes and music. There are several slots in the Rhyming Reels series – check out Jack and Jill for another example.
So what’s Old King Cole all about? Well we’re probably all familiar with the nursery rhyme featuring this legendary character and the reels in this twenty payline slot are set against a big open book of rhymes. The more valuable symbols are related to the story in quite a modern way and representing the pipe, the bowl and the three fiddlers are a hookah, a bowl of colourful cereal and a girl band.
Bonus symbols include a crown scatter and two wilds – an Old King Cole logo and a gold disc.

Verdict
Old King Cole doesn’t have the same level of humour or overall quality as Jack and Jill but it’s a fun diversion nonetheless. It does have a funky soundtrack and a free spins round so give it a go.
