How to cite

Slot Summary

Expanding a Wild into a full-height knight can lift the portcullis and expose the upper reel area before Mighty Black Knight even reaches its Free Spins. Light & Wonder uses that transformation to move the game from up to 50 active lines to 100, giving this Black Knight entry a clear mechanical reason to revisit the medieval setting.
MechanicsExpanding Wilds unlock the full-height reels

How It Plays

Regular play begins on the lower half of the reel field with up to 50 active lines. A qualifying Wild reveals the upper half and raises the total to 100.

The Big Bet option consists of 5 linked spins. During those spins, any visible part of the Wild Knight can award the enlarged reel configuration.

Theme & Atmosphere

Knights, crowns, an emperor, and a queen place the game firmly in a Medieval Fantasy court where the central knight controls access to the tower.

The portcullis is more than decoration. Its movement explains the transition between the smaller reel area and the full-height arrangement during play.

FantasyCrownKnightsEmperorMedievalQueen

Features & Win Potential

The Expanding Symbols and Reels doubling features act together: a qualifying Wild grows to full height as the locked upper reel positions become available.

Further Wild Symbols revealed after the reels expand also grow to full height, allowing the feature to cover several reel positions during the same result.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins begin when 3 or more Scatter Symbols land. The gate starts closed, but a partial or complete Wild can raise it again during the round.

Once the expanded reels are active in Free Spins, newly revealed Wild Symbols also expand, carrying the central feature into the bonus rather than replacing it.

Bankroll survival simulator

How long could a bankroll last on Mighty Black Knight? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

Volatility tier: Medium

Running simulation…
How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.00%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
