Knight Rider. A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless. In a world of criminals who operate above the law.
The epitome of cool, David Hasselhoff (in all his 80s glory) is at the heart of the Knight Rider franchise. He patrols the streets of Los Angeles together with his trusty Pontiac Firebird Trans Am: a self-aware car named K.I.T.T., a heavily modified and artificially intelligent vehicle with the ability to talk, fire weapons and travel at high speed. The show was built around these unique characters, and the video slot game is no different.
Of course, you can play this slot on smartphone, desktop or tablet devices.

Just when you thought the 80’s were long gone, here comes Knight Rider! This high-octane 5-reel, 4-row video slot includes Walking Multiplier Wilds, Turbo Boost, Free Spins with Laser Wilds and the Buy Feature (where available).
Players should ready themselves for a heart-pounding battle at the top of the rap scene with Red Tiger’s Hustling slot. The game is designed with the iconic West Coast vs. East Coast hip hop rivalry in mind, and the result is an attractive slot with an appealing take on the elements that define hip hop culture.
Hustling greets players with a unique background, featuring palm trees and custom rides on the left and moody, graffiti-covered brick buildings on the right. The board belongs to the West and East super wilds, respectively, and the super wild symbols are designed with some of the industry’s most unforgettable rappers (Tupac and Biggie) in mind.
The rest of the game’s symbols include highlights such as dollar signs, cans of spray paint, and boom boxes.
Players can experience Hustling’s style on both desktop and mobile devices.
We take a closer look at the slot’s gameplay below!
Quite well in fact. Aside from a few minor shortcomings, gameplay is slick and the themed reelspin audio keeps the suspense alive. The features are well adapted to the brand and the brand compliments the features.
Knight Rider bears a striking similarity to Net Ent’s own Drive: Multiplier Mayhem and it’s clear where the math inspiration came from. The multiplying wilds are always welcome in any game but the addition of the Walking Wilds in Knight Rider is where the similarities end. The paytable in Knight Rider has been trimmed somewhat to afford the Walking Wilds.
26 Paylines in a 4×5, or any reel configuration for that matter, is certainly not common. Typically, a 4×5 will have 40 or 50 paylines evenly distributed across the rows. In Knight Rider, all the paylines are tidy and symmetrical meaning less effort is required to read wins, however, there are more paylines originating from rows 2 and 3. This make these rows more valuable as more wins will originate from the center rows rather than the outer rows. An odd choice in a game with win dependant rightward Walking Wilds as any WILD landing on reel 1 is more likely to trigger a win on rows 2 and 3.
Scatters only appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and sound out when they hit. A common positive reassurance element in slots to alert players of a potential bonus trigger or other desirable feature. However, in Knight Rider the game always sounds out scatters even if there is no possibility of a trigger. This constantly draws player attention to a negative event, one that wont result in a trigger. Over time, the constant electronic drum hits become quite annoying.
Shortcomings aside, Knight Rider’s core feature is the Walking Wilds coupled with its multiplying multipliers, and the outcome is epic. Every feature of the game, including the Free Spins is created to emphasise and enhance the Walking Wilds. Whether in the Base Game or Free Spins, any combination including a few wilds across the reels (assuming they’re on a payline) is sure to win big. At the top end, a win involving all WILDS is multiplied x120. But it’s the mid range where the game comes into its own. Assume a WILD on reel 3 and 4 making up a 4 of a kind Hi Tier being multiplied x12, then walking right and forming a 5 of a kind being multiplied x20. Sure to put a smile on any nostalgic GenX Knight Rider fan!

Well done NetEnt bringing this 80s classic brand back to life.
Branded games can be hit and miss. Occasionally, some brand owners like to meddle in the design and the game suffers. Having worked with Universal in the past, they are not that type of brand owner. Universal prefer to leave the design to the designers and only sign off on their brand’s representation. This tends to result in a better product and the proof is in the game.
Knight Rider should be on your must play list.
