Knights of Fortune Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction 

Spearhead Gaming takes us back to medieval times in this beautifully designed game. Played on 5x3 reels with 243 betways, the game has cascading symbols that fall from above when winning lines are removed from the reels.

To the left of the reels are three collection meters, the first of which comes into play when a wild lands on the reels. The wild will be collected and when five are accrued, more are guaranteed in the free spins up to a maximum of 80.

The next meter is the multiplier. Triggered by the blue and green knights, the multiplier will increase by one for every five knights collected. There is no upper limit.

Finally, the free spins meter increases when the lower-paying symbols on a golden shield are collected. Again, five symbols are needed to access the bonus. The meters cannot be increased in the free spins, although players can buy into this bonus.

The wild, which substitutes for all other symbols, is the top-paying symbol when five land on the reels. 

There are a further ten paying symbols, with the highest paying being the blue knight, green knight, axes and gauntlet. The lower-value symbols are a collection of playing cards ranging from nine to ace.

Fans of this designer’s work can access other Spearhead Gaming slots here at Slots Temple. If this theme appeals to you, why not try a game with megaways, such as the Kingmaker slot? This is also available here in demo mode. 

Theme, graphics & soundtrack 

This is a slot with a medieval theme, a sumptuous design, and a soundtrack that fits perfectly with the images and the story that plays out on the screen. The higher-paying symbols are colourfully designed, whilst the lower-paying card icons are gothic script on a chainmail background.

The reels are set in a gilded frame, with the background depicting the medieval town in which the game is set. You can find many more medieval themed slots here at Slots Temple.

How to play Knights of Fortune

The game is straightforward, but you need to keep an eye on the meters. Here are few tips to guide you through this slot:

2. Next, go to the menu icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
3. The settings menu is where you can mute the soundtrack.

7. Finally, discover how to buy into the bonus.
8. Return to the main screen. Below the spin button is where you can adjust your wager.

Knights of Fortune free spins & bonus features 

Each golden symbol that is accumulated will fill one of the five sectors in the free spins meter. Once five have been collected, the indicator will read one of eight; once it reaches eight of eight, eight free games are awarded. Free spins will not re-trigger.

Every five wilds that are collected in the wild meter will add one to the meter counter, indicating the number of wilds on the reels in the free spins. The multiplier accrued will also feature in the free spins but will not increase in this phase of the game.

If you buy this bonus, it will feature eight spins, 13-14 wilds and a 3x multiplier.

Knights of Fortune review: our verdict 

This is a beautifully designed slot from Spearhead Gaming, and the free spins feature has lots of bonus features packed into it. The main criticism is probably the time it takes to trigger the free spins; what’s more, even when you do so, you may not have quite as many wilds and multipliers as you were hoping for.

Even so, the player is kept entertained as they keep an eye out for the symbols to collect and the meters as they fill up. The cascading wins are also a welcome addition to the game and keep delivering wins or bonuses.

This game should appeal to a wide range of players and keep them entertained.
