The 7th Reel of the Knight Slots
We do love a good pun, and is there any better than the title The 7th Reel of the Knight? Whilst you jot down your answers on a postcard, we’ll begin by exploring the 7 reels, that’s right 7, of this 2014 video slot from Casino Web Scripts.
For saying that the game is now a couple of years old, you could easily believe it’s a new release, such is the vividness and high quality of the gameplay and imagery involved. The curved design is another unique feature we need to point out, for it helps to make the game not only more attractive, but it generates a 3D feel. Having well-rounded graphics, quite literally in this instance, means that you can become part of the fictional world presented, rather than working against it.
It’s all well and good looking the part, but if the features fall short than the fact that a real cash slot looks pretty is by the bye. Fortunately with The 7th Reel of the Knight, there’s a considerable list of extras, of which the bonus round is most ingenious.
Champion Your Knight
Seeing as we were just discussing the bonus round, let’s focus on that first and then work backwards, after all the bonus round is ultimately the selling point of this game. Two crossed swords symbolises this feature level, which is rather fitting as you’ll be clashing with another knight in order to win the round.
In a Mortal Kombat style of battle, a white knight will face a black knight, with the user having to select which of the points they wish to hit first: the head, torso or leg. If you land a hit you’ll see a blood splatter appear, but if you make a miss, you’ll watch as the knight moves out of harm's way. After you’ve attacked the knight, you’ll then have to defend yourself from attack, choosing from the same crucial body points.
Off the Chain Wild!
Normally we’d offer little review time to the wild, for most of you know what the symbol does, but with The 7th Reel of the Knight, the wild takes on additional extras, making it a much more worthwhile icon. It’ll remove other symbols to try and form a winning line for you, but should the symbol land on either the second, third or fourth reel, then the outcome is greatly improved.
On top of this, should you get over one of the wilds, you’ll get the highest of the multipliers given to you. Of course you can glean most of this information from the paytable yourself, but having to read through extra long sentences just to get down to basics is something us slot gamers don’t have time for. We need the info fast and we need it now, which is what we hope we’ve provided for you.
A House of Cards
Multipliers must be the only form of currency of interest to knights, for the scatter symbol also includes them in its rewards, only now they’re accompanied by four extra games. Four might not sound like a lot, not when you know other titles such as The Legend of Count Dracula had plenty more, but with the addition of another feature, it softens the blow and thus less becomes more.
Oh What a Knight!
Regardless of whether you compare this to another Casino Web Scripts game or review it on its own merits, it’s evident that The 7th Reel of the Knight is a highly developed slot that has many years left in it.
Having already spanned two years and still being popular is a good indicator of this. Likely the reason for this is both the appearance and that bonus round, for both are very unique and different to what we usually see; sometimes it pays to be bold. What is most curious is how the brand hasn’t been too daring, yet has reaped a lot of success here.
