BLACK KNIGHT II

HOW TO PLAY BLACK KNIGHT II

We are now overlooking the castle, which is placed high on the hill, but we are not near the fighting place like in the original. The reels are set on a terrace somewhere opposite the castle, and we can only imagine that the real fight is happening beneath the walls because we can hear knights and horses.

The Black Knight is the tree-cell-high Wild and it substitutes for all icons, including the Crest Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature. The King is there again, and his lovely daughter, the Princess, while it seems that the Jester has been replaced. The Crown, Scepter and the Ring also act as symbols, while playing cards represent low-value icons.

If you played the original Black Knight, you will have no trouble at all understanding the rules of the game. Instead of 10, WMS decided to use 40 adjustable paylines, so it will be up to you to decide how many lines you want to play with. The 2014 release features five reels and three rows and it pays left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, with three of a kind being the minimum for landing payouts.

Betting starts at $.40 and it goes all the way up to $100 per single spin. The command list is quite similar to those in Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee Dragon’s Tale.

PAYOUTS

Once again, the maximum possible payout is set at $250,000 the bet. However, in the sequel, the King is not as generous, because it only offers 12.50x bet for five of a kind. The Princess and the Jester will get you even less. Trigger freebies and land as many Wilds as you can to get big wins. Black Knight II’s RTP is 95.91%.

BLACK KNIGHT II (WMS): CASINOBLOKE’S VERDICT

Those of you who played Black Knight will like the sequel, even though it is not as good as the original at least for us. The visuals are much better, as well as the soundtrack, and we like the fact that the Wild substitutes for all icons, including Scatters, but we do not like the fact that we cannot retrigger freebies.

Also, there is no Big Bet Game or some other additional feature that could have spiced things up a bit. On the positive side, there are 40 paylines now, meaning that there are more opportunities to win.
