Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune Slot Review

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune Slot Overview

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune is a casino slot from Gold Coin Studios with a fearless knight in a land of dragons. One of the odd pop cultural productions on the theme is the Spanish film Star Knight from 1985, where the princess Alba is abducted by a dragon who later turns out to be an alien spaceship. To complicate the story even more, the princess falls in love with the ship’s human alien. However, this is a more straightforward classic fairytale far from alien space vessels.

Like many games from Gold Coin Studios, Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune has the Link&Win respins feature, where the spins are reset to 3 whenever a cash coin lands. What sticks out from other games is that there is not one but four grids on the screen during the feature. Landing silver coins on the first grid will open the next one, and so on, until all reel setups are open. Even better is triggering the feature with gold coins, which opens all grids from the start.

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune is a video slot from Gold Coin Studios with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.25, and the Max.bet is 25. The game’s RTP is 96.24%, and the volatility is high. Scoring the max win awards 10,000X the bet, and the hit frequency of 28.48% means that over every fourth spin is a winner.

The mighty knight is the game’s Wild Symbol. All the features in Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune are Wild Symbol, Link&Win Symbol, Link&Win 4Tune, Gold Link&Win 4Tune, and Free Spins.

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune Slot Information

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune takes the player to a fantasy land with big mountains and pine trees. In the far distance are snowy peaks, and to the right of the reels is a big castle on a hill. A huge red dragon flies around in the sky, and above the reels is a golden pot of coins. Dramatic music plays as you spin the reels, and wins are made by landing 3 or more symbols of the same kind on one of the 25 paylines going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and the game is available on mobile phones and other digital devices.

The lower-paying symbols are silver brooches depicting a cross, an arrowhead, a star, a half moon, and a sun. These five symbols award between 1.4X and 2X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are coins containing a fish, a bird, a horse, and a dragon. Making a 5-of-a-kind win with them will give you between 3X and 6X the bet. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols in making wins on paylines. It doesn’t substitute the Scatter Symbol or Coin Symbols.

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune?

You can win up to 10,000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune?

The features are Wild Symbol, Link&Win Symbol, Link&Win 4Tune, Gold Link&Win 4Tune, and Free Spins.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol appears anywhere in the base game and Free Spins except on the first reel. It can substitute for all symbols except Scatters and Link&Win symbols. In the Free Spins, it awards a 2X multiplier whenever it takes part in a win.

Link&Win Symbol

Either the Gold or Silver Link&Win symbol can trigger the Link&Win Feature. Only one color lands per spin. Land 6 or more symbols in the base game or 5 or more in Free Spins to activate the feature.

The symbol grants bet multipliers between 1X and 500X, with the Major Jackpot (500X) being the most valuable one.

Link&Win 4Tune

The Link&Win feature has 4 reel sets with the same 5x3 setup as the single grid you play the base game on. This gives you a total of 60 positions on the screen, but only the first one is open if you trigger the feature with Silver Coins. You start the feature with 3 spins, and all Link&Win symbols that land on an open grid are held to their positions while the other positions spin again.

Whenever a new symbol lands on an open grid, the spins reset to 3. To open the other grids, you need to land a preset amount of silver symbols:

Second Reel Unlock = 8 Link&Win Symbols

Third Reel Unlock = 16 Link&Win Symbols

Fourth Reel Unlock = 36 Link&Win Symbols

Landing a Jackpot coin on any unlocked grid will unlock the next one if it isn’t already.

The feature ends at 15 held symbols on any of the 4 grids or when the spins run out. Filling a grid with 15 symbols awards the Mega Jackpot of 10,000X the bet. The prize is added to the other winnings during the feature.

Gold Link&Win 4Tune

Activating the Link&Win feature with gold coins opens all 4 grids from the start. Whenever a coin lands, it’s duplicated to the same positions on the other grids.

Free Spins

The Scatter Symbol can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. Landing 3 on the same spin triggers the Free Spins. Before you start the feature, you get to pick between one of 3 options: 10 Free spins with silver coins on the reels, 7 Free Spins with both silver and gold coins on the reels, or 3 Free Spins with gold coins on the reels.

All wins containing Wild Symbols are multiplied by 2. The Free Spins can be retriggered with the same amount of spins as the starting setup.

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune Slot Conclusion

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune takes the player to a world where dragons soar, and knights wield their shields with fearless courage. The noble knight who fights the dragons is the game’s Wild Symbol. In the Free Spins, he doubles every win he takes part in. The player also gets to choose from 3 different Free Spin modes of 3, 7, or 10 spins, where the first option will have gold coins on the reels and the last silver coins. The one in the middle has both.

And these Link&Win coins are what stand out in this game. Whenever you trigger the Link&Win 4Tune feature, you’re welcomed to a new screen with 4 reel sets. Triggering the feature with silver coins allows you to land coin symbols on the first grid, and collecting coins will open up the other ones one by one.

Triggering the feature with gold coins gives you all the action on all 4 grids right from the start. Also, no matter if you’re playing with gold or silver coins, you’re awarded 10,000X the bet if you fill any open grid with 15 symbols. 

10,000X the bet is also the game’s max win, which is good for this highly volatile slot, and we cannot complain about the RTP of 96.24%, which is a bit over the industry standard.

Although the 4 reel setup is different from most games, Knights Shield Link&Win doesn’t have us hooked like some other games with the regular respins feature. Gold Coins Studios has the very entertaining Champions of Olympus. Another great slot with a Link&Win-looking feature with a twist is Gold Mine Stacks 2, which offers wins of up to 50,000X the bet.

Knights Shield Link&Win 4Tune by Gold Coin Studios invites you to saddle up, brace your shields, and join the quest for glory and gold.
