Slot Summary

A five-reel grid that converts every visible Wild Symbol into a shared Multiplier gives Dark King: Forbidden Riches its central rule. NetEnt carries that rule into Free Spins by turning qualifying Wilds into Sticky Wilds and awarding Additional Free Spins. The 96.06% RTP, High volatility and x2000.00 maximum place considerable weight on those extended bonus sequences rather than on ordinary 20-payline combinations.

How It Plays

Base play follows 20 fixed paylines, but the number of Wild Symbols on screen can change the value of every qualifying line result through the Wild Multiplier.

This makes Wild placement relevant even when a Wild does not complete the strongest combination itself. Several visible Wilds can influence the same resolved spin.

Theme & Atmosphere

Darkness, Demon, Fantasy, Horror, Knights, Magic and Medieval themes place the action inside an ominous kingdom rather than a bright heroic court.

The Dark King and knightly figures supply the narrative tension, while magical orbs and gems connect that medieval conflict to the game's special symbols.

Fantasy Magic Horror Darkness Knights Medieval Demon

Features & Win Potential

The Wild Symbol substitutes in line combinations and also contributes to the Free Spins Multiplier. More visible Wilds produce a larger shared multiplier for eligible wins.

Scatter Symbols open the feature round, where Sticky Wilds remain in place and Additional Free Spins reward each newly fixed Wild in the designated area.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three or more Scatter Symbols trigger Free Spins, with the initial award increasing when more Scatters appear on the triggering spin.

During Free Spins, Wild Symbols in the central cross become Sticky Wilds and each adds an Additional Free Spin. Their Multiplier contribution remains active through the round.

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 (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.06%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (2,000×).

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.
