The Green Knight Oath of Thorns

Slot review: The Green Knight Oath of Thorns

The Oath of Thorns continues the Arthurian saga in this third Play’n GO installment, following The Green Knight and Return of the Green Knight. With brooding medieval visuals and a palpable sense of legend, it crafts a strong atmosphere. But while the narrative setup feels epic, the downsized max win compared to its predecessor leaves a slightly hollow echo.

Slot features: The Green Knight Oath of Thorns

Sword meter & multiplier wilds

Randomly during base spins or bonus rounds, the Sword Meter can activate, giving landing Wilds a multiplier of x2, x5, x10, x25 or x100. Only the highest multiplier per win applies a nod to the series’ core mechanic.

Free spins

Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters grants 5 free spins and an upfront payout of 2.5x, 5x or 100x the bet. During this mode, every Wild symbol receives the current Sword multiplier, which increases each spin: x2 -> x5 -> x10 -> x25 up to x100.

Thorn spins

As a secondary feature within free spins, landing 2+ Scatters gives 5 Thorn Spins, locking in the current Sword multiplier. Each spin guarantees 2-3 Wilds on the reels. No multipliers rise further, and scatters don’t appear, but these rounds lock in potent Wild action at peak multipliers.

Our verdict: The Green Knight Oath of Thorns

The Green Knight Oath of Thorns offers a max win of 14,000x, which is substantial, but still a downturn from Return of the Green Knight’s staggering 40,000x. It’s a bit of a disappointment for those chasing massive hits, though the 14,000x ceiling is still rare and valuable in the Play’n GO lineup.

All told, this third chapter is visually captivating and mechanically strong, with that signature series structure of escalating multipliers and bonus layering. However, for those expecting a leap forward in potential, the reduction in max win feels like a slight stumble. Still, its storytelling charm and feature consistency make it a solid sequel.

Our rating 7.5/10
