The Green Knight Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

One of the stories which revolve around King Arthur and his knights, is the one that involves the Green Knight and the battle against him. The hero that fought him was called Sir Gawain, one of the Knights of the Round Table. Very well crafted, the design of the game revolves around the Green Knight and nature in general, so there is quite a bit of green in it.

Sir Gawain, Guinevere, a Green Horse and an Axe will be the four top symbols. Five Royals with a rune-style design are the bottom ones (T and J-A). You also see images of Shields and The Green Knight, in the feature trigger symbols.

Developer

Over 250 games are present in Play n GO’s collection so far, and for many of them I’d say that the quality stands shoulder to shoulder with what the best have to offer. Modern graphics, often enough with unique themes, and even a lot of fun features, these can all be found in their games. They have their share of clones and boring stories, but even those will look good.

How To Play It

$0.10 will be the absolute lowest wager that you may use, while $100 will be the highest. Pick any of the values listed between those two extremes, and you can get going.

The setup is pretty much as expected, with 20 paylines forming combinations, and using 5×3 reels for support. Nothing unusual about the way you form combinations either, you still need 3+ symbols of the same type, to appear left to right.

Special Features

Some help, in forming new combinations, will come from the Shield Wild, a very elaborate-looking symbol, where gold and red are the predominant colors used. Besides the substitution ability, which comes in handy where regular symbols are concerned, up to five Shield wilds can be lined up on the same line, and pay up to 100x the stake.

There will even be cases, where this Shield Wild gains a random multiplier value, boosting wins by 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x or 100x. The multiplier will apply to wild combinations as well, and this makes it possible to turn a 100x jackpot, into a 10,000x one.

You even get free spins in this one, and to reach them you will need 3, 4 or 5 Green Knight scatters visible. The multiplier wild is guaranteed for all spins, and it increases in value after each round you get through.

Shield Spins can be activated when 2+ Green Knights appear during free spins. In this new mode, you use the multiplier wild from the triggering free spin.

Maximum Payouts

As you’ve seen before, a 10,000x the stake jackpot is on the line, and it can be obtained with just one extremely lucky winning combination. It has to be formed with wilds, and a 100x wild multiplier needs to be included, so the odds are extremely low. Still, it’s a possibility, and some lucky players might get it.

The default RTP is 96.27%, but there are other levels that casinos may use as well, so that’s one thing to keep an eye on. Volatility will be high.

Summary

The Green Knight, as many other Arthurian-inspired games do, looks great and is interesting to play. They changed the features, in a way that made them fun and different, even though at the basis they’re still free spins and regular wilds with multipliers.
