Every knight slot in the realm, catalogued like a codex

Knight slots are one of the oldest and most durable themes in online gaming, and this codex keeps the complete census: fifty-four knight slots from thirty-seven studios, beginning with the WMS classic Black Knight of 2011 and running to this season's releases. Where most catalogues chase every new title in every theme, we keep to one word and do it properly — every slot that carries the name of Knight is entered in our register with its workshop, its release date and its published return to player, so you can compare the whole field on one page.

The range is wider than the armour suggests. Among knight slots you will find Play'n GO's Green Knight saga told across three quests, the long Black Knight dynasty that passed from WMS to Light & Wonder, Gold Coin Studios' golden-egg orders, dragon-keeping wyverns from Merkur and Barbara Bang, and sieges from Pragmatic Play's Knights vs Barbarians to Playzia's The Siege. Published RTP runs from 92.13% to 98.77% — the sharpest lance being Nine Knights: Strikers by Blitzcrown — and volatility spans the full field from low to high, so there is a knight for cautious purses and bold ones alike.

For readers in Aotearoa New Zealand we also test where these games can actually be played: our three charter casinos accept NZD, pay within a day, and stock the knight slots of this register. Play is strictly R18; the codex is a guide, not a goad — set your limits before you set your lance, and if play stops being fun, the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655 is free, confidential and open day and night.
