The Knight King (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

The Knight King Slot Overview

I stepped into a fairy tale setting with mountains, forests, and a castle. The Knight King is a 5-reel, 3-row, 20 payline slot from Pragmatic Play. Stakes run from 0.20 to 100 per spin. Default RTP sits at 96.05%, with lower operator options of 95.02% or 94.06%. Volatility is high, and the max win is 5,000x. Core features are Wild Symbol, Special Money Symbol, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy. The presentation is polished, though the template feels familiar.

Reel maths are traditional, with wins paid for three to five of a kind on adjacent reels from the leftmost side. I played it across mobile and desktop without fuss. The vibe leans romantic medieval, with a knight, princess, and dragon anchoring the theme. In practice the slot plays fast and straight, leaning on the cash-tagged symbol mechanic and a short bonus. It can pace like a teaser in base, then open up a bit when the feature sticks.

The Knight King Slot Information

The lower paying set is 10, J, Q, K, A, returning 1x to 2.5x the bet for five. Premiums are the horse, princess, knight, and dragon, paying 3.5x up to 7.5x for five. The horse Wild lands on all reels, substitutes for pays, and can award 300x for a five-of-a-kind line. Scatters show the armoured knight and appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game. Lines pay left to right only, with symbols needing adjacent positions.

The Knight King Slot Features

At random in the base game, one pay symbol or the Wild becomes a Special Money symbol. When that happens, every instance of the chosen symbol lands with a cash value between 0.5x and 20x the stake for that spin. You do not need a collector icon; I simply got paid the sum in view when it hit. It is a tidy burst mechanic that livens up quiet patches, though it comes and goes quickly and the board otherwise stays quite plain.

Three Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 award 3x the bet and 7 free spins. Before the round starts, a pay symbol or the Wild is selected as the Special Money symbol. The initial value is 1x to 7x if it is a pay symbol, or 11x to 20x if it is the Wild. Each time those tagged icons land, the sum is awarded and then increased by a random step from the same set. Hitting two Scatters on reels 2 and 4 adds +4 spins.

I could buy the bonus for 80x the stake where available, with the RTP shown as 95.97% during buys. The organic bonus odds hover around 1 in 217 spins, which matched my sessions well enough. Expect patches of nothing, then a jump when the chosen symbol starts stacking value. It is swingy, as the volatility rating suggests, but simple to follow. I rate the feature set as lean, built around the cash-tag loop rather than layered modifiers.

The Knight King Slot Conclusion

My take is simple. Solid maths and tidy art, but a generic feel. The Special Money symbol does the heavy lifting, and the free spins are short and reliant on that one pick gaining upgrades. The 5,000x headline is fine, though the top end looked rare in my play. Adjustable RTP ranges are worth checking at your casino. If you want straightforward cash symbol hits in a medieval wrap, this does the job; if you want depth, it may leave you cold.
