Description
NetEnt’s Dark King: Forbidden Riches slot invites you to the den of an evil and mysterious king for an opportunity to acquire wealth and riches. This slot is based on gothic medieval tales and features an eerie background, a creepy soundtrack and some well-detailed symbols that match with the fantasy theme of the game.
Gameplay takes off on a standard 5 reel, 3 row setup across 20 Paylines. The reels are occupied with symbols of playing cards, medieval characters, and special symbols that will trigger the game’s bonus rounds of wild multiplier and free spins. With a single spin on the reels, you can win as high as 2,500x your stake.
How to play
Bet levels start at 0.20 coins per spin and rise to a max of 200 coins. Low-pay symbols are represented as traditional playing cards written in beautiful gothic fonts. The game’s high pay symbols are represented by 5 armoured knights and the dark king.
All symbols would require at least three to trigger a payout. As expected, the Dark King is the most lucrative symbol alongside the wild. Collecting 5 on the reels will award you a payout of 25x the stake.
Dark King: Forbidden Riches Slot Special Features
Special symbols
The game’s wild symbol is represented by a shimmering blue orb. As usual, it will stand in for other game symbols when landed on the reels apart from the scatter symbol.
Bonus features
Wild Multipliers
Collecting more than one wild symbol on the reels will trigger the Wild Multiplier feature. The value of the multiplier awarded is equal to the number of wilds landed on the reels. 2, 3, 4, and 5 wilds will award 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x wild multiplier values.
Free spins
The scatter symbol is the bright red gemstone and it activates the free spins feature. Hit 3 or more red gemstones with a single spin and you will be awarded free spins. 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbol will award 10, 12, or 15 free spins.
During the free spin feature, the Hotspot Zone is active. This is a series of symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 highlighted in the shape of a cross.
Landing a wild in the Hotspot Zone will turn it into a sticky wild and it will remain stuck in position throughout the remainder of the free spins round. Each sticky wild will add 1 more free spin to your total.

Verdict
The dark-styled fantasy theme might not make for the most stunning look but the wins truly compensate for any design flaws.
If you’re up for game wins of up to 5,000x the stake, then you should go ahead and take a spin on Dark King: Forbidden Riches Slot. You will need to land scatters and wilds to trigger the wild multipliers and free spin bonus rounds if you hope to claim the max payout.
