How The Green Knight bonuses work

The bonus features in The Green Knight boil down to the WILDs multipliers, the free spins bonus feature and the Shield Spins.

The WILD shield can land on the reels with a x2, x5, x10, x25 or x100 multiplier for a potential payout of up to 10,000 times its original bet. The multiplier is applied to the winnings of the other symbols, but the WILD shield also has its own, highest value of all. Thus, the maximum potential of x10,000 will be reached on a winning combination of 5 WILDs with a x100 multiplier.

When 3 or more Scatter symbols land on the reels, the free spins bonus feature is triggered. 5 free spins are awarded and with each spin the value of the WILD multiplier that can land on the reels will increase, as indicated on the counter at the top of the grid.

If two or more special Green Knight symbols land on the reels during the free spins, the Shield Spins are triggered. 5 Shield Spins are offered, the free spins are set aside and will then resume. The WILD multiplier awarded to each spin will remain fixed, equivalent to the free spin in progress when the Green Knight special symbols appear.
