Play’n GO chose a 14th-century old poem by an unknown author as inspiration for the next addition to their Arthurian slot franchise. It tells a story of a brave knight of the King’s Round Table who dares to accept the challenge of the Green Knight to strike him once with his mighty axe. Sir Gawain obliges but must meet after a year and a day to complete the dare which is nothing less than the Green Knight being allowed one strike against him.

The valiant nobleman indeed does journey to the Green Chapel to meet the mysterious Green Knight on the agreed day who has him bend down to receive the blow but actually never follows through. Turns out it was only a test of courage and loyalty. As a result, the Green Knight professes Sir Gawain the most blameless knight in all the land. All main characters from the tale feature on the reels which are set in a misty forest scene with the green chapel in the background.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card royals from 10 through to A, each with a differently coloured hue on a stone icon and awarding 2x to 4x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are followed by the knight’s axe, the knight’s horse, the lady of the castle and the valiant knight Sir Gawain. Hit five on a line to win 7.5x to 25x your bet.

The game has no less than six wilds – regular, x2, x5, x10, x25 and x100 – all held on the knight’s coats of arms and marked with the respective multiplier when activated. They will yield between 100x bet for regular wilds to 10,000x bet for x100 multiplier wilds bet, based on the type of wild when five land across the reels. The Green Knight himself acts as the scatter. Three, four or five in view will pay coin wins of 2.5x, 5x and 100x your stake respectively.

The Green Knight Slot Features

Quite a challenge to integrate the tale of the valiant Sir Gawain into a video slot, so, let’s see what the Swedish studio has managed to include in the gameplay that sets it apart from the other slots in the series. New on this reel voyage through the epic Arthurian legends are random wilds that can land on any spin and reveal a wild multiplier of x2, x5, x10, x25 or x100. Any winning combination they are part of will be multiplied by the shown value, however, more than one in a combo will not be multiplied or added by each other.

Hitting three or more Green Knight scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 5 regular Free Spins plus the coin wins as described above. During the feature, the wild multipliers are progressive, starting with x2 on the first free spins and increasing one level at a time up to x100 on the last free spin. Remember though, to benefit from any multipliers the wild/s must be part of the winning combo.

The scatters changes to a Special Green Knight scatter and landing two at any time will lock the current active wild multiplier and award 5 Shield Spins. For example, if you activated it on the fourth spin, there will be an x25 multiplier wild on all Shield Spins. The regular free spins restart after all Shield Spins have been played.

Final Verdict

The Green Knight is a worthy addition to the Arthurian slot franchise. A slightly toned down volatility and double the usual Play’n GO win cap should provide for suspenseful gaming sessions, and that without being to brutal to the playing balance although that will still happen at times. An 8 out of 10 for volatility is still not a walk in the park and rather indeed a challenge to meet the might Green Knight. So, mount your trusty steed and prepare to embark on an epic reel voyage.
