Dark King: Forbidden Riches Bonus Features
Wild Symbol and Wild Multiplier
If one or more Wild symbols appear anywhere on the reels during a main game or Free Spins round, the winning combination payout is increased by a Wild Multiplier equal to the number of Wild symbols present on the reels. There may be a maximum of 5 Wild symbols on the reels at once.
Free Spins
When three or more Scatters appear anywhere on the reels at once during normal play, you'll be awarded a number of free spins. If you get three scatters, you'll get ten free spins; four will get you twelve, and five will get you fifteen.
Sticky Wild Hotspots and Sticky Wild symbols
Sticky Wild Hotspots are present during free spins, and they take the form of an x-shaped cluster of five spaces on reels 2, 3, and 4. When a Wild symbol falls on a hotspot, it becomes a Sticky Wild symbol. Sticky Wilds provide an additional free spin and stay in place during the duration of the free spins bonus.
Dark King: Forbidden Riches Verdict
From the very beginning, the game's dark tone and music made us feel uneasy. Perhaps horror fanatics will like it while we remain unimpressed. So, we put in 200 Euros, decided on a stake size of 1 Euro, and started the first 100 auto spins. We were obtaining winning combos every other or third round, thus the aforementioned hit frequency looked to be accurate, but the payments were low. To further explain the Free Spin feature, we would have liked to participate in one ourselves. It took us roughly 40 minutes to lose our first 100 Euros, which is a long time considering this is a quite volatile slot. Although the odds of receiving a bonus round are minuscule (0.33 percent), it is nonetheless frustrating to play for 40 minutes and not get a single bonus round. Finally, when our balance was somewhere around 75 Euros, the bonus round was activated. It only returned 18 times our original wager, which left us feeling cheated. Overall, we were disappointed with this new offering from NetEnt and do not suggest it.
