The Mighty Black Knight slot asks you to go on a crusade that won’t always leave you with all limbs intact.
This is a big bet Barcrest slot – so if you are familiar with these you’ll either know that you love or hate them.
If the latter we’d probably recommend you try one of their many Rainbow Riches phone slots instead, because this will require you to bet at £$4, £$5, or £$10 a spin.
Technically the betting range of this Mighty Black Knight mobile slot game goes from a minimum bet of 0.10 to a huge 250. But if you use the normal bet for this slot, you’re a fool.
That’s because the return to player rate of this slot machine using the standard bet is a low 94%.
However, if you use the big bet option, that increases to 96% and all the way to 98% if you are willing to bet £$10 a spin.
This is one of those slot games that actually looks and plays better on mobile and tablet casinos than online.
That’s because it looks great in portrait mode as this a 10 row high slot game, however every spin starts with only 5 rows and 50 payline active.
When one of those wild symbols show up on screen it will expand and all rows will turn active and you’ll play on 100 paylines, meaning easier wins on this Mighty Black Knight online slot.
Of course, if you use the big bet options, things get very interesting – namely because it’s easier to expand than the wild, and you can remove high paying symbols.
But, far more interesting, on £$10 a spin the wild will stay sticky on screen until it triggers a win. Which at least guarantees you a win, though that doesn’t always mean with so many symbols on show.
However, due to the lack of flexibility of bet, and the fact that the wins are ok but rarely enough to cover your big bets, this is, at best playable.
Personally, we’d rather spin on some colossal reel games like the Zeus 1,000 video slot.

The Mighty Black Knight slot on mobile looks great, if a little old-fashioned with symbols taken straight out of the round table tale.
Personally, the limited and the high bet you need to just get your bet back just feels like you are going on a losing crusade - much like the similar Hercules High and Mighty video slot.
If Arthurian slots are your thing, then Mighty Arthur by Quickspin is a far better bet.
