5 Knights Slot machine review

5 Knights

5 Knights is a NextGen Slot with 5 reels and 25 lines. The game offers scatter symbols, Free Spins, multipliers and wilds, while the payouts give the player up to $6,000.

The game's theme is Medieval, drawing inspiration from the knights and nobility of the time. Even the image that supports the reels is that of a castle, of which you can see just the towers on both sides and the walls at the top. A beautiful view of the unspoiled countryside is seen in the background as well, the kind of view that is so rarely seen these days. The overall design of the game is pleasant and the inspiration taken from the Medieval era has been used well in this case. The symbols of the game do look like they were part of those times. The symbols include the card symbols between 9 and A, designed like they are stylized letters like they used to add to handwritten books. The rest of the symbols include the shield in the role of the wild, the castle as the scatter symbol, the knight, the princess, medieval weapons and a knight's armor glove.

The bets made in this game give the player the choice to wager up to $50 for a single spin of the reels. The bets use 1 to 25 coins and their value is set between $0.01 and $2. The payouts give the player plenty to fight for, with the 3000 coins available giving him up to $6,000.

While the wild symbol is a normal feature of this kind, there is another wild related feature which makes things a bit more interesting. You have the Slide a Wild feature to consider here, where the player can choose what his favorite reel is and on that reel there will be a chance of getting stacked wilds with multipliers. Depending on the selected reel the exact amount offered by the multiplier will vary. It starts with the 1^st reel which gets multipliers of 2x and continues with 3x for 2^nd reel, 4x for 3^rd reel, 5x for 4^th reel and 6x for 5^th reel. You might think that the bigger the multiplier the better, but keep in mind that if you choose the 5^th reel and you get a wild there, you will need for the previous 4 reels to have a combo of the same four symbols in order for the symbol on the 5^th reel to count as a wild.

The scatter symbol is also available and it will give the player payouts of up to 100x the wager, plus a round of 15 games for free with 2x multipliers.

This is a fun game and the Slide a Wild feature does bring a level of excitement that many other Slots lack.
