The Green Knight Oath of Thorns, read closely

011. First muster

Everything opens on a two-panel briefing: FREE SPINS on the left behind a sword laid with x2/x5/x10/x25/x100 charms, THORN SPINS on the right showing a knight in wild-tangled armour flanked by two guaranteed-wild reels. That ladder stays pinned across the top of the board through the whole session, so the stakes are never a mystery.

The board itself is bog-and-bramble green, hexagon-cut royals next to painted knights, and the horned Wild mask glows amber the instant it lands. It reads newer and sharper than its 2021/2023 stablemates, released 14 July 2025.

022. What the pool roll records

From the roll: provider Play'n GO, RTP 94.27%, HIGH volatility, maximum win 14,000x the stake, released 14 July 2025. Themes tag it Fantasy, Knights, Magic, Medieval/Middle Ages, Mythical legend, Sword, Warrior and Witches.

A 94.27% RTP paired with HIGH volatility and a 14,000x ceiling is a proper swings-and-roundabouts profile — not the biggest number on the roll, but far from the smallest.

033. The charges on the reels

The horned Wild mask is the star: on spin 3 of my run it landed twice in one look, tagged 'X5 WILD' and plain 'WILD', part of a board that paid toward the game's own banner promise of up to 14,000x the stake.

By spin 10 a two-Wild combination — one carrying an 'X2 WILD' tag — resolved into a clean WIN: 7.00 at my 1.00 bet, with the balance ticking up from 24,998.00 to 25,005.10 across the run. No full per-symbol paytable page surfaced in my session, so I'm not quoting individual charge values beyond what I watched land.

044. Thorn Spins and the x100 ladder

The briefing panel is explicit: Free Spins carry a Progressive Wild Multiplier rising to x100, and Thorn Spins guarantee a wild on every spin. The pool sheet backs this with Guaranteed Wild in Free Spins, Random/Additional Wilds, Scatter symbols, Sticky Wilds and a Symbols-collection mechanic tagged 'Energy'.

I didn't trigger the Thorn Spins round itself in a 14-spin session — HIGH volatility features don't always show up on demand — so I'm reporting the mechanic as described on the game's own panel plus the base-game wilds I actually watched pay, not as something I've personally seen resolve.

055. Gameplay in the demo

Snappy and generous with wild sightings for a base game — two separate Wild landings inside ten spins, one of them a genuine 7.00 win. HIGH volatility usually means longer dry stretches between the real fireworks, and a 14-spin sample is too short to judge the rhythm of those swings honestly.

The x2/x5/x10/x25/x100 ladder sitting permanently on screen is a nice touch — it keeps the ceiling visible without needing to dig into a menu.

066. Who it suits

For knights who want the newest coat of paint on the Green Knight legend and don't mind HIGH volatility swings for a shot at 14,000x. The wild-heavy base game gave me more to look at per spin than either of its older stablemates.

Whatever you spin, keep it 18+, set a limit and stop when it stops being fun. NZ support: safergambling.org.nz and the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655.

077. In short

The newest and highest-ceiling of the three Green Knight pokies I've mustered so far, with a 14,000x cap and a wild-forward base game that paid a real 7.00 in my run. HIGH volatility means it won't always be this generous.

Enter it as the young knight of the trio — least tested, most ambitious ceiling.
