What is The Cursed King?

The Cursed King is a 5x5 video slot from Backseat Gaming with a 94.27% RTP, medium-high volatility, and 19 paylines. Its core mechanic is walking full-reel multiplier wilds that award respins in the bonus, the round continues for as long as at least one walking wild is present, driving the 12,500x maximum win.

Backseat Gaming's approach here prioritizes the bonus round over base-game complexity. The base game introduces expanding multiplier wilds in smaller doses, giving you a preview of the mechanic before the full respin system activates. In the bonus, walking wilds cover an entire reel and carry multipliers that apply to every winning combination they contribute to. As wilds cross the grid, new ones arriving extend the respin sequence, creating a self-sustaining round that pays out with each spin until the wilds eventually clear.

The Cursed King Slot Theme & Graphics

The Cursed King draws from Egyptian royal iconography with a cursed-monarch narrative. The setting is a throne room with crumbling stone pillars, torchlight, and hieroglyph-carved walls behind the 5x5 reel grid. The premium symbols are Egyptian royal objects, scarabs, crooks and flails, headdresses, rendered in gold and deep lapis blue. The card-rank lows are styled with an Egyptian border treatment that keeps the lower tier visually consistent with the premium set.

Sound design uses slow-burn ambient percussion with a tension buildup during the bonus round. The walking wild animation shows the full-reel wild sliding across the grid position by position during respins, giving a clear visual read of how many spins remain. Mobile plays cleanly on the 5x5 layout, and the 19-payline format means winning combinations are visible across most of the grid during active respin sequences.

The Cursed King Slot Symbols & Paytables

The Cursed King uses a two-tier symbol structure across the 5x5 grid and 19 paylines, with walking multiplier wilds as the mechanical centerpiece and Scatter as the trigger for the bonus respin round.

Low Value Symbols

The low-paying symbols are card ranks, A, K, Q, J, and the numeric lower tiers, styled with an Egyptian stone frame. They appear across the grid at a rate consistent with the 26.02% hit frequency, forming the majority of base-game wins. Their payout values are modest, but they keep sessions active between bonus triggers. In the bonus respin round, low-tier symbols that land adjacent to or beneath a walking multiplier wild can be part of winning combinations that the wild applies its multiplier to, even a low-tier win boosted by a x5 wild pays more than a base-game line hit.

High Value Symbols

The high-value symbols are Egyptian royal and ceremonial objects rendered in the premium tier: scarabs, ornate staffs, and royal cartouches. Five matching high-pays on a payline deliver the game's most significant regular wins. The wild symbol itself pays 10x for five across a payline, and in combination with the multiplier mechanic, a fully-covered reel position with a multiplier wild alongside a high-paying combination can produce outsized returns.

Special Symbols

The multiplier wild is the key special symbol: it substitutes for all paying symbols and carries a multiplier that applies to any win it helps form. In the base game, wilds are stationary with expanding behavior. In the bonus, they become walking wilds that cover an entire reel and move across the grid during respins. The Scatter is the bonus trigger; with a bonus buy option available, players can enter the walking wild respin system without waiting for a natural Scatter landing.

The Cursed King Bonus Feature & Special Features

Walking Multiplier Wild Respins

The Cursed King's bonus round is built around walking full-reel multiplier wilds. When the bonus triggers (via Scatter or bonus buy), a walking wild covers an entire reel and a respin is awarded. After the respin resolves and wins are paid, the wild moves one reel position toward the right edge of the grid. If a new wild lands during the respin, it triggers another respin and the sequence continues, this keeps firing as long as at least one walking wild remains on the grid. Each walking wild carries a multiplier that applies to every winning combination it contributes to on the spin it moves through. The round ends when all walking wilds clear the grid, or when the grid is full of wilds. With multiple walking wilds in play simultaneously and their multipliers applying to each respin win, this is where the path to 12,500x opens.
