Most of the return is likely to sit in multiplier wilds and the three Cursed bonus modes. At a 1.00 stake a 12-to-30 crown cluster pays 75.00x, so the 25,000x cap is a sticky-wild problem, not a gem-cluster problem.

How to Play Cursed King

Set a stake between 0.01 and 2,000.00 and spin. The 6x5 begins empty. The king places multiplier wilds, then paying symbols fill every leftover cell. A win needs five or more identical symbols connected horizontally or vertically. There are no paylines. Stake is the only exposure control besides the bonus-buy menu.

Once clusters have paid, the spin is over. There is no tumble or refill from above. Demo and real-money play at Stake use the same grid. Extra Chance costs 3x per spin and Super Chance costs 6x; Super Chance at a 4.00 stake costs 24.00. A volatility switch may take place when a buy is active.

Cursed King Symbols and Paytable

Low symbols are four coloured gems. Premiums are two face masks, a sword and a crown. Values below are at a 1.00 bet. Match 12 through 30 share the same ceiling on this 30-cell board.

Symbol	Match 5	Match 6	Match 7	Match 8	Match 9	Match 10	Match 11	Match 12-30
Purple Gem	0.20x	0.40x	0.60x	1.00x	1.50x	2.50x	4.00x	6.00x
Red Gem	0.20x	0.40x	0.60x	1.00x	1.50x	2.50x	4.00x	6.00x
Blue Gem	0.30x	0.50x	0.80x	1.30x	2.00x	3.50x	5.50x	9.00x
Green Gem	0.30x	0.50x	0.80x	1.30x	2.00x	3.50x	5.50x	9.00x
Blue Face	0.40x	0.70x	1.10x	1.80x	2.80x	4.80x	7.50x	12.00x
Green Face	0.60x	1.00x	1.60x	2.60x	4.00x	7.00x	11.00x	18.00x
Sword	1.00x	1.70x	2.80x	4.50x	7.00x	12.00x	20.00x	32.00x
Crown	2.00x	3.50x	6.00x	10.00x	16.00x	28.00x	45.00x	75.00x

A 12-symbol crown cluster at 75.00x is the highest regular-symbol ceiling. Wilds substitute for paying symbols; if they sit in a cluster, the base pay is multiplied by the sum of those wild values. Two wilds at 2x and 4x therefore apply 6x, not 8x. A lone wild, or a cluster made only of wilds, pays nothing.

Cursed King Bonus Features

Feature weight sits in the pre-fill wild drop and in three free-spin modes that lock the board. Three, four or five bonus symbols award Cursed Spins, Cursed Super or Cursed Epic. All three start at 10 free spins.

Multiplier Wilds

Every paid spin begins empty. The king summons wilds at 2x to 100x, then regular symbols fill the rest. Clusters are evaluated once. A wild that misses a paying group is wasted for that spin. Comparable Paperclip cluster titles refill after wins; here the king gets one placement and the maths either connects or it does not.

Cursed Spins

Three bonus symbols trigger Cursed Spins and award 10 free spins. The whole board is sticky and wilds lock. Every extra bonus symbol awards one extra spin. Locked wilds keep their multipliers, so a later fill can pick up a larger sum than the spin that placed the first wild. This mode does not guarantee a new wild every spin, so several of the ten can add nothing while the locks wait for a matching colour.

Cursed Super

Four bonus symbols trigger Cursed Super, still at 10 spins, with the same sticky rules plus a guarantee of at least one new wild every spin. That removes empty feature spins. Each new wild still rolls 2x to 100x. The guarantee is about wild supply, not cluster quality: mismatched fills around small locks can still finish close to the trigger cost.

Cursed Epic

Five bonus symbols trigger Cursed Epic. It keeps the Super guarantee and adds a floor: every wild is worth at least 10x. The splash prints Epic Cursed Bonus, stacked 50x sticky wilds and a 25,000x plaque. The 50x art is presentation, not a rule that every Epic wild is 50x. Epic is the high-volatility ceiling of the ladder, not a payout. A short Epic that never connects a premium cluster can still return a fraction of a 1,000x buy.

Cursed King Bonus Buy Options

The menu prints six paid options. Extra Chance and Super Chance are per-spin modifiers. Summoning and Dark Summoning sit in the middle of the price list. Cursed Spins and Cursed Epic buy those named rounds. A volatility switch may take place on a buy.

Extra Chance at 3x is the cheapest traffic lift. Cursed Spins at 400x buys the three-scatter round. Cursed Epic and Dark Summoning both cost 1,000x, so a 1.00 stake is a 1,000.00 purchase. Drop the bet before those two. Summoning at 250x has a printed price but no extra spin-count rule on this sheet, so this page does not invent one. Read the in-game help for that row on the spin you intend to pay for.

Cursed King RTP, Volatility and Maximum Win

Cursed King RTP

The published RTP is 96.00%, a 4.00% house edge. That matches Hex Bloom from the same studio and is a long-run average, not a session forecast. Confirm the line in the Stake info panel on the copy you open; bought features can sit under a different risk profile even when the headline rate is unchanged.

Cursed King Volatility

Volatility is high. The base game pays only when a five-plus cluster forms after a one-shot fill. Wilds that miss that cluster contribute nothing, and there is no cascade to turn a near-miss into a second chance. Cursed Spins can lock a board and still fail to connect. Super feeds a new wild every spin. Epic floors those wilds at 10x. Buying Epic at 1,000x concentrates a large slice of a bankroll into ten sticky spins.

Cursed King Maximum Win

The maximum win is 25,000x the stake. A 1.00 stake can theoretically reach 25,000. Play stops at the cap. Treat 25,000x as the printed ceiling, not a session target. The figure matches Knight Watch and sits above Hex Bloom's 20,000x, but the path is different: no cascades, summed wilds on a sticky bonus board.

Where to Play Cursed King Online

The Cursed King slot is Only on Stake. Real-money play, the demo and the bonus-buy menu all sit on Stake Casino via the Stake Engine. There is no second operator on the Game Information used here.

New Stake accounts can register with promo code VIPSPIN7777. Demo play is the cleaner way to watch the empty-board wild drop before a real-money session, because the lack of cascades is easy to misread if you arrive from tumbling cluster games. Real-money play is the only path that can pay.

Cursed King Mobile Experience

The 6x5 grid runs in the Stake HTML5 client, so it plays in a phone browser without a separate app.

• Modern mobile browsers, no extra download
• Full 6x5 board in portrait or landscape
• Bet stepper plus Extra Chance and Super Chance in the Stake HUD
• Bonus buy available where the operator enables it
• Colour-coded gems and masks on small screens
• Wild multipliers shown as 2x-100x badges on locked cells

If you buy Cursed Epic on mobile, confirm the 1,000x price before you tap through.

Graphics, Theme and Sound

The Cursed King slot is a green-flame castle rather than a photoreal crypt. Stone columns frame the 6x5, braziers burn at the corners, and the king stands in horned armour with a teal glow in the chest and eyes. Cover art prints CURSED KING over that figure with a Paperclip Gaming line underneath. Lime, magenta, ice-blue and gold keep gems and swords separable when thirty cells fill at once.

You can hear the king slam his sword when wilds are summoned; that slam is the audio tell for the drop. The UI matches other Stake Engine Paperclip titles: paperclip button on the left, balance and bet in the centre, spin on the right. Super Chance labels itself in the bet well when the 6x modifier is on.

Is Cursed King Worth Playing?

The Cursed King slot is for players who already accept high-volatility cluster maths and who want a board that does not tumble. If you like Hex Bloom's cascade chains, this title will feel abrupt: one fill, one evaluation, done. If you want sticky multiplier wilds that can sum inside a cluster, the feature set is coherent. The 96.00% RTP and 25,000x cap are competitive for a Stake exclusive. This is a wild-sum and sticky-bonus slot, not a frequent-small-win gem grid.

• No tumbles: distinct from cascading Paperclip titles

Cons

• High volatility plus no cascades means many dead fills
• Cursed Epic and Dark Summoning both cost 1,000x
• Wilds that miss a cluster contribute nothing that spin
• Only on Stake, so there is no second-operator comparison on this sheet
