UK – Inspired launches White Knight
By Phil - 19 December 2013
Inspired Gaming Group, a leading supplier of SBG VLT gaming machines and premium games to UK bookmakers, including William Hill, Betfred, Paddy Power and over 20 independents – is excited to announce the launch of White Knight.
White Knight is the latest Freespins+ slot game to be unveiled by Inspired’s innovative game development team and boasts impressive HD graphics and stimulating Free Spins. The game is available for Inspired’s UK estate of over 15,000 gaming machines, and will soon be available for international VLT markets, online and mobile.
White Knight is a premium quality 5X3 Freespins+ slot game. The star of the show is the heroic sword-bearing White Knight, who builds excitement by thrusting his ‘Super Wild’ Sword downwards turning whole reels Wild to create extra wins. The ‘Free Spins’ and ‘Wild Exchange’ features are triggered at random to generate a more thrilling and longer gaming experience.
For the UK gaming market, the ability to play 25p, 50p, £1 and £2 per game in the B3 mode, or five Fortune Spins for £20 in the B2 mode means this game is attractive to a wide audience including time spenders and high stakes enthusiasts. The Fortune Spins mode also has the advantage of higher payouts and additional bonus features such as ‘Sliding Wilds’, which are also created when the White Knight thrusts his sword downwards. Once live these remain active throughout the Fortune Spins and will slide from right to left across the screen creating wins.
Gerhard Burda, acting Chief Product Officer at Inspired, commented: “Inspired is passionate about creating top quality, fun games. White Knight is a descendent of Diamond Goddess, Inspired’s most popular UK slot game to date. Built on the success of this game, White Knight is something exciting and new for players to enjoy. Already this game has received an extraordinary response and we are confident it will prove to be a favourite amongst players in the UK and internationally. Customised versions of White Knight will reach our international clients during the course of 2014. Following our cross channel convergence philosophy, the game will be available for land based gaming machines and as HTML5 versions for interactive and mobile operations.”
For UK players experiencing White Knight on Inspired’s brand new Eclipse cabinets, there is even more interactivity and fun via the touch screen SmartDeck. For example, during the ‘Wild Exchange’ feature players must choose a shield and scratch away the metal exterior to reveal the symbol that will become Wild on the reels.
White Knight went live in the UK from December 18 2013, just in time for Christmas, and can be found on both Inspired’s Storm and Eclipse cabinets.
