The Knight King

The Knight King, a slot game developed by Pragmatic Play, takes players to a romantic and fairy tale-like environment that features wild forests, mountains, and fairy tale castles. However, despite the stunning visual design, the game seems to fall short in other aspects.

Base Game and Symbols

The Knight King is a five-reel, three-row, and 20-payline slot game that offers players stakes ranging from 20p/c to £/€100. Although it lacks an Ante Bet, it allows players to buy free spins with an RTP of 95.97%, lower than the 96.05% generated when betting regularly. The game is highly volatile, and winning combinations consist of three to five matching symbols landing on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost side.

The low-paying symbols include 10 through Ace royals, while high-paying symbols feature a horse, a lady, a man, and a dragon. The wild symbol is represented by another horse that lands on all five reels, paying 300x the bet for a line of five. The wild can substitute any normal pay symbol to create winning combinations.

Slot Features

The Knight King offers a limited set of features, one of which is the Special Money symbol. On any base game spin, a pay symbol or the wild is randomly selected, and Special Money symbols with values ranging from 0.5-20x the bet land on the reels. All instances of these symbols in view are awarded.

Hitting three scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 awards 3x the bet and seven free spins. During the bonus round, landing two scatters on reels 2 and 4 triggers an additional four free spins. Before the free spins commence, a pay symbol or the wild is randomly selected to be the Special Money symbol for the entire round. The chosen symbol is assigned a random value, and whenever Special Money symbols land, their values are collected and awarded. The value of the Special Money symbol increases each time a collection occurs.

Conclusion

Overall, The Knight King seems like a game that Pragmatic Play rushed to release. The features are limited and lack creativity, and the name is confusing. The visuals are stunning, but they don’t make up for the lack of excitement in the game. The Special Money symbols feature is the main highlight, but it doesn’t offer much beyond adding extra monetary values to the reels.

The Knight King may appeal to players who appreciate simplistic gameplay and romantic representations of the Middle Ages. However, for those seeking a more engaging and exciting slot game, it might be best to look elsewhere. While the game offers a potential max win of 5,000x the bet, it’s difficult to imagine such an amount happening in reality, given how the test sessions played out.

In summary, The Knight King is a mediocre slot game with a romantic theme that offers limited features and lacks originality. However, it may appeal to a niche group of players who enjoy simplistic gameplay and romantic environments.
