Wild Knights King’s Ransom Slots Review

If you’ve played Barcrest’s original Wild Knights online slot then you will no doubt be delighted to learn that there’s a sequel and it’s called Wild Knights King’s Ransom. It’s a little bit posher than it’s predecessor, it offers a couple of new features and you can read all about it below.

Wild Knights King’s Ransom is a five reel slot with three rows and ten fixed paylines; the design is fairly basic but it has Barcrest’s distinctive bold, colourful symbols and some appropriately mediaeval music to keep your company.

There are four theme-related symbols including the King and three helmets – red, purple and green; 10, J, Q, K and A represent the lower values.

The wild symbol is a big blue-ish shield and it will replace all others except the scatter symbols – red/blue shields and a pot of gold.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three of the red/blue shields anywhere on reels two, three and four for which you will earn:

• Three red shields – receive 3 knights
• Three blue shields – receive 2 knights
• Three red or blue shields – receive 1 knight

The spins are unlimited but a black baron appearing on reel five will remove one of your knights; when no knights remain the round is over.

When a wild symbol appears it will move down one reel position with each successive spin.

Pots Bonus

Trigger this by landing three gold pot scatter symbols anywhere on reels one, three and five. You will now be prompted to select one of the twelve cards displayed to reveal a prize multiplier.

Gauntlet Bonus

This can be triggered randomly after any non-winning spin and one or more symbols will transform to give a guaranteed win.

Wild Times Bonus

This can be triggered randomly after any non-winning spin and one of the symbols on the reels will turn wild.

Big Bet/Super Big Bet

You can choose to pay a little extra for five linked spins which offer some enhanced features; these are:

• Shields symbol will be held in place which makes it easier to trigger the free spins
• The Round Table Bonus becomes available

The Round Table Bonus offers players the chance to choose between a stake multiplier or entry into the free spins round if triggered.

Verdict

As you can see there’s plenty of features to understand in Wild Knights King’s Ransom but once you’ve got your head round it all it’s good fun with lots of scope for variety. Using the Big Bet feature increases the RTP to 98.00% which can’t be bad.
