The Green Knight Camelot Gold review
Play n GO · September 23, 2026
Those outside the gambling space might be surprised to find out just how popular Middle English literature is within iGaming. Sure, browsing an online casino is not the same as running down aisles of books at a university library, but hidden amongst the nooks and crannies, players can find a surprising number of literature-based slots. Software provider Play'n GO has developed a particular interest in Arthurian legend, having released titles such as The Sword and The Grail and Rise of Merlin. The game under review here, however, is the studio's fourth Green Knight title, The Green Knight Camelot Gold, a slot that enhances its bonus round by way of a bonus trail, as well as base game respins, played under the watchful eye of a certain green armoured warrior.
Play'n GO has clung to the same sort of art style it has used throughout the series, dropping players into a misty, fantasy land of castles, heroes, and villains. The titular character stands on the screen next to the grid, not a begging bowl in hand, but holding what's called The Green Knight's Bounty, which collects wilds and dispenses respins when the time is right. The studio has been using this particular art style for a while now, so the visuals are not as shockingly good as they once might have been. However, there's still chivalric high drama to be found here if players are looking for that, even if the magic has waned over the years due to the repetition of things like the same symbols, similar gnarly trees, and so on, causing the Green Knight to lose some of his menace.
The Green Knight Camelot Gold is a 5-reel, 4-row slot with 20 paylines, creating winning combinations from left to right. It has a minimum bet of $/€0.10 and a maximum of $/€100, with a number of options in between. Rated 6 out of 10, it is medium volatile, and players can theoretically expect an RTP value of 96.22% on the default configuration.
On the paytable are 10-A royals carved on stones, and four higher-value character symbols. Winning lines of 5 matching symbols in size pay 2x to 25x the bet. Wilds substitute for all regular paying symbols and are worth up to 25x for 5 wilds in a winning line.
In this game, the features to look out for are the Bonus Trail enhancing the bonus round, free spins, and The Green Knight's Bounty.
Landing 1 or 2 scatters progresses the Bonus Trail. For every 2 scatters collected, the Bonus Trail increases by 1 level, enhancing the free spins round with either extra free spins or wild multipliers. The Bonus Trail consists of 10 levels in total: x1 wilds, x2 wilds, +2 free spins, x5 wilds, x10 wilds, +3 free spins, x25 wilds, x50 wilds, +5 free spins and x100 wilds. The Bonus Trail resets after playing the bonus round. Progress is tied to the bet level.
Landing 3 scatters awards 5 free spins plus any extra from the trail and a payout of 2.5x the bet. All wilds that land in free spins will be multiplier wilds if that level has been reached on the trail. The wild multiplier applies to wins it is part of, but multipliers do not stack on the payline. Scatters do not appear in the bonus round, either.
Wilds that land in the base game are gathered by the Green Knight's Bounty. When this happens, there is a small chance that respins are activated. When awarded, players get 3 respins, and 2 wilds are guaranteed per respin. These wilds do not have multipliers and scatters cannot land.
The original Green Knight slot and its earlier cousin The Sword and The Grail swung like a mighty green axe when they were first released, and the subsequent Green Knight slots have been fair to good, though diminishing returns have set in as the series has evolved with a steep drop-off going into The Green Knight Oath of Thorns on account of an innovation stall. Camelot Gold suffers a similar fate, while also admittedly altering the bonus round rules. It's quite good; returning fans may enjoy another instalment in the series, though while there have been updates, the same feeling of having stalled pervades The Green Knight Camelot Gold as it did in the previous release.
Camelot Gold is one of those games that puts players in the odd situation of wanting to trigger free spins - but not too soon. It is better if the base game has put in some miles, progressing the Bonus Trail to collect extra free spins and higher wild multipliers, when the feature triggers. In the meantime, The Green Knight's Bounty adds the odd jolt of excitement when respins trigger with their guaranteed wilds, though it's a pity those wilds do not come bearing multipliers. Those are saved for free spins, though this time, the multiplier awarded at the start of the round is basically it. There is no levelling up the multiplier in this game. Great if you manage to start with one of the higher values; not so thrilling going in with the x1 or x2, let's say. This method does make for a change, though whether it's an improvement over the past is up for debate.
Winning potential is sizable, though, and at 15,000x the bet, The Green Knight Camelot Gold has the second highest figure in the series so far. The game sits in a comfortable middle ground: familiar, able to pack a punch, yet also a bit stagnant. There should be enough here to draw keen players in for an Arthurian-flavoured spin, even if the series' glory days are behind it and what's left is a Green Knight who may have been circling the same castle for a little too long.
The Green Knight Camelot Gold is a playable update that attempts to step out of its predecessor's shadow, even if it feels short on fresh ideas.
