The Knight King Slot by Pragmatic Play 🎰 Free Demo and Review

The Knight King Review

The King in this game wears an impressive shining armor, and he looks like the romantic type as well. The reels are filled with both dragons and what seems to be The Knight King’s love interest, and the cartoon style visuals are neatly done. This Pragmatic Play release cannot escape coming across as a tad generic though, which is sometimes the case with this highly productive developer.

You can look forward to the random Money Prize symbol feature in the base game, as a random symbol is chosen to land with instant cash prizes. Worry not, as you don’t even need a collect symbol to win the prizes, like is so often the case. The good news is that the prize on the chosen symbol will increase each time it's won in the bonus round, and this can lead to payouts up to 5,000x your stake.

The Knight King Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 3.5 and 7.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you win by landing 3 to 5 matching symbols on adjacent reels from the uttermost left to the right. You can land the Horse Wild symbol on all 5 reels as well, and it steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins. Should you land 5 wilds on the same payline, you win 300x your stake.

A regular pay symbol, or the Wild symbol, may be selected at random times during base game play. All instances of the selected symbol will then land with cash values between 0.5 and 20 x your stake for that spin only, and you win the sum total of all the cash prizes in view.

You need 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you an upfront scatter payout of 3x your stake. You get 7 free spins for starters, and you win +4 extra spins when you land 2 scatters on reels 2 and 4 during the feature. A random pay symbol, or the wild symbol, is chosen up front to be the Special Money Symbol.

The chosen Special Money Symbol is assigned with a random prize value between 1x and 7x your stake, or between 11x and 20x your stake if the wild got chosen. All special money symbol prizes are collected similarly to what happens in the base game, but they can appear on all free spins instead of just at random times. Each money prize collection increases the value of any future money symbols you land by a random amount (+1 to +7, or +11 to +20 for the wild).

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may purchase the bonus round for 80x the stake. Simply click the Bonus Buy menu seen on the left, and you can get started with the main attraction immediately. The Bonus Round comes with an organic hit rate of 1 in 217 spins, which can be good to know in that regard.

The 200 Spins The Knight King Slot Experience

You get a relatively brief taste of the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 0:30 into the 5:55-minute highlights video. We got the royal low-value symbol “K” as our chosen Money Symbol, and we also won +4 extra spins right away. We got quite a few upgrade wins, and you can see for yourself how it all went by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Releases like this are typical for Pragmatic Play, and while they have many solid releases under their belt, no doubt, they also have a large amount of these run of the mill efforts. It’s not that the game is bad in any particular way, it’s just that you can immediately sense that not a lot of heart and soul was poured into this thing. It rolls off the assembly line like a slick new car, but it feels mass produced and generic all the way.

That being said, The Knight King takes you on a decent medieval adventure, and you get a taste of the Money Symbol feature also in the base game. It’s more of a teaser of what’s to come than anything else, and it’s definitely game on when the bonus round triggers. The chosen symbol can be upgraded to land you pretty solid payouts after a while, and even from the get-go if you’re lucky. The 5,000x potential is standard for Pragmatic these days, and it comes with a decent hit rate of 1 in 11,961,722 spins.
