Michael Knight and K.I.T.T. return in NetEnts new online video slot

Evolution promised 88 new games across all its brands in 2022 and NetEnt is doing its part with branded content as well as homegrown stuff. The first branded NetEnt title was announced at the beginning of the last weekend in February in collaboration with Digital Platforms and Universal Games – Knight Rider Video Slot.

Knight Rider was a popular TV series that developed a sort of cult following when it ran from 1982-1986 and has continued to pick up new fans year after year in syndication and through its status as a bigger-than-life meme of sorts. The series starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a bent-on-justice crime-fighter with intriguing cohorts.

NetEnt has always had a strong presence of branded games in its portfolio and its newest release hopes to introduce a new generation to the iconic Knight Rider. The game is true to form and brings the atmosphere and world scape of Knight Rider to life with familiar characters like the star and his sidekick and trusted wingman K.I.T.T. the ‘car’.

Brand-themed Feature Mechanics

The mechanics expand on elements of the show like Free Spins with Laser Wilds, and Turbo Boosts, along with a rapid response Buy Feature for the times you want to cut right to the chase on this high-octane 5-reel, 4-row slot.

As would be expected, the game is highly volatile and features original sound effects and clips from the show, made real for the player by a 7,000x max win. Buckle in and hold onto your seats for this game.

Walking Multiplier Wilds are a recurring feature in both the base game and the free spins feature, and each time they are triggered the player is in for a wild ride, some wilder than others. The Walking Wilds can appear anywhere on the reels and they are sticky. With each new spin, they move one reel to the right and pick up a multiplier power each time so the icons on the fifth reel increase any win they are part of by 5x. The farther to the right they move, the less likely they will form part of a win, but the more they are able to pay.

Jump Right into Free Spins

The buy feature component of this game might reveal something about the volatility and win potential of the free spins. Rather than a rote 100x stake, it will cost 140x your basic stake to trigger the feature at any time. The game cuts right to the chase without the obligatory main game spin showing the feature trigger – jump right in and go!

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer NetEnt’s parent company, Evolution said: “This game brings back the ‘80s with style. Knight Rider is a beloved classic and the team has done a great job at incorporating this world into the video slot. Knight Rider fans, both existing and new, are going to love being immersed in this iconic show, and we can’t wait for players to take to the streets of LA and sink their teeth into all the fun the game has to offer.”
