The new Dark King: Forbidden Riches online slot from NetEnt is officially set to arrive in casinos on Thursday, October 8th, 2020. This new Dark Fantasy-themed slot has 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines, and the top prize that you can play to win on any lucky spin is capped at 2,000x times your total stake.

Low rollers will soon be able to play on this new NetEnt slot from as little as £0.20, and high rollers can spend up to £400 per spin. The two most important symbols to keep an eye out for are the Blue Orb Wild Symbols and the Red Gemstone Scatter Symbols. The Wild Symbol will substitute all other symbols on the reels apart from the Scatter Symbol.

If you look just below the reels, you will also notice a special multiplier area, which can boost wins by 2X, 3X, 4X or 5X. These multipliers will only ever come into action when more than one Wild Symbol shows up on the same spin. The multiplier that you are awarded is based on how many Wild Symbols are in view. For example, if there are just 2 Wild Symbols in view, any line wins that are currently in view will be boosted by a 2X Multiplier. 3 Wild Symbols in view gets you a 3X Multiplier. 4 Wild Symbols in view gets you a 4X Multiplier, and 5 Wild Symbols in view gets you a 5X Multiplier.

The main bonus feature is a Free Spins Bonus, which will instantly trigger when 3 or more Scatter Symbols show up. Just 3 Scatter Symbols landing gets you 10 Free Spins, but 4 Scatter Symbols landing gets you 12 Free Spins, and 5 landing gets you 15 Free Spins. During the Free Spins Bonus, a special Hot Zone is created on reels 2, 3 and 4. It appears in the shape of a cross, and you need Wild Symbols to land in the Hot Zone area to win Extra Free Spins and bigger multipliers.

The good news is that each time a Wild Symbol lands in a Hot Zone, it will turn into a Sticky Wild Symbol, and it will remain in view until the end of the bonus. This is another fantastic new online slot from NetEnt, and I can’t wait for it to arrive. Some of the other similar online slots that I can recommend keeping an eye out for in the meantime are Warlords: Crystals of Power from NetEnt, Goldaur Guardians from Alchemy Gaming, and Age of Conquest from Neon Valley Studios.
