NetEnt found inspiration in a TV show popular back in the 1980s to develop Knight Rider, a five-reel video slot, starring David Hasselhoff. Michael Knight is David’s name in this TV show, and he fights crime with his K.I.T.T. computer car. Here, you will not fight against criminals, you will enjoy special features, such as Walking Wilds, Turbo Boost, and a multi-level Free Spins feature. With a maximum payout of 7,000x the bet per spin, this high volatility game comes with an RTP of 96.07%.
You do not have to be an experienced detective to understand how everything functions in the 2022 release. Players will benefit from 5 reels, 4 rows, and 26 fixed paylines. The slot pays left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Three of a kind is the minimum for landing wins. If you want to enjoy all the benefits of a smart machine, you can activate Autoplay and let the NetEnt title do all the hard work. You may set up to 1,000 automatic spins and set different advanced settings, such as loss limit. The Fast Forward button speeds the reels up a bit.
Given the fact that the 2022 release is inspired by the popular TV show, the visuals and the soundtrack fit the theme perfectly. Michael Knight is the top-paying regular symbol, followed by a Voice Display, Truck, Steering Wheel, and Watch. Playing cards act as low-value symbols. K.I.T.T. is the Wild that substitutes for all regular icons. The Logo is the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature. Also, the Knight symbol appears in the Free Spins feature.
Walking Multiplier Wilds may appear both in the base game and in the Free Spins feature. Walking Multiplier Wilds remain on the reels and move one position to the right when part of the winning combination. Each reel comes with a different multiplier (1x-5x), so, when a Wild appears on a certain reel, it will carry the corresponding multiplier. Since they multiply each other, gamers can get a 120x total multiplier in a single spin.
Turbo Boost is a feature that triggers random spins. When triggered, it will add 3-4 Walking Multiplier Wilds on the reels. When 3 Logo Scatters appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, the Free Spins feature is triggered. Players start with 10 free spins. Land Knight icons on the reels during the feature to fill the Meter and go through different levels. When you collect your first 3 Knight symbols, you unlock Level 2 and unlock the Laser Wilds feature. There are 4 levels. Each time you reach a new level, you get 2 extra freebies and an extra Walking Wild that will appear on every free spin. Up to 3 Walking Wilds will appear per free spin.
Fans of David Hasselhoff will be glad to see a familiar face in an entertaining and rewarding video slot. There are enough additional features to keep you busy, but not too much, so that the game does not become complicated. Of course, the Free Spins feature is where you can expect big wins, especially if you reach Level 4, with 3 guaranteed Walking Multiplier Wilds on every free spin. If you don’t want to wait for the Scatters to appear, simply buy the feature.
