Black Knight, read closely

01Overview

lack Knight was struck by the workshop of WMS on 11 November 2011, and the codex opened a leaf for it. The register attests a published return of 94.9%, a medium-volatility temper, and little else yet; the full account follows the chronicler's test session, as it does for every entry.

02Theme & atmosphere

The workshop files this one under crown, emperor, map, medieval, queen, empress. Among the 54 knights of this codex the company is an honourable one, and a new banner on those ramparts is worth the ink.

03How it plays

Here the honest scribe lays down his pen. The register does not yet hold verified reel, line or mechanic detail for this entry, and the codex does not copy such things unseen from other books.

Awaiting the test session. Reel geometry, ways to win and the rhythm of the base game will be transcribed here from our own play, with figures we have watched land ourselves.

04Bonus features

The register attests these devices on the entry: expanding symbols, free spins, scatter symbols, wild. What each one costs, how often it opens and what it returned are matters for the session, not for guesswork.

Awaiting the test session. Special symbols, bonus rounds and any purchase of passage will be entered after we have triggered them in play.

05RTP, volatility & the purse

The published return is 94.9%, and the workshop lists it as an RTP range — meaning a casino may license a lower setting of the same game, so read the paytable at the table you sit down at. Against the codex at large it sits below the field average of 95.63%, and short of the sharpest lance in the register (Nine Knights: Strikers at 98.77%). The volatility is medium — a middling rhythm — neither a siege of silence nor a steady drip. The maximum win is not yet in the register, and we write «—» rather than a rumour.

06Who should ride out

A middle road: enough swing to keep the watch interesting, not so much that a modest purse is spent before the gate opens. Followers of the WMS stable will want this leaf bookmarked.

Marginalia: set your limit before the drawbridge drops. The barbarians are patient; be more so.

07Verdict in short

An entry made with honest figures and honest gaps. The seal on it stays soft until the chronicler has ridden it himself — the provisional reckoning waits at the verdict below.

From the play-log

How the chronicler rides it

No entry in this codex earns its full leaf unspun. The chronicler takes every knight through a proper session — ordinary spins, a landed win, and the bonus or free-spin round run to its end — and the four plates below are reserved for exactly those moments, captured from real play.

spinPlate reserved — the base game in motion, from our session.
I. The wall holds: an ordinary spin.
winPlate reserved — a landed win with its true multiplier.
II. First blood: a win as it landed.
bonusPlate reserved — the feature trigger, as witnessed.
III. The gate gives: the feature triggers.
free spinsPlate reserved — the bonus round run to its end.
IV. The sortie: the round played out.

These plates will appear after our test session; until then the codex shows an honest blank rather than a borrowed picture.
