King's Move: When the King Survives the Knights
King's Move uses two board sizes: a game opens on a 3×3 board with the king in the centre, and the board becomes 5×5 once you have moved him. In Morocco, 1xBet carries this chess-board game in its 1xGames catalogue, and every stake in it is placed in Moroccan dirhams (MAD).
Your bet always comes before the king moves, and its amount is settled before the game begins. Next, you send the king to a square of your choice among the 8 squares that are open to him.
Three knights and the rule that settles your stake
As soon as the king has moved, three knights appear on the board. Whether one of them takes the king decides what happens to your stake, as the table below sets out.
Outcome of the move | Odds | Your stake |
|---|---|---|
None of the knights takes the king | x2 | multiplied by 2: one stake comes back as two |
A knight takes the king | not applied | you lose this game |
The second outcome in the table also ends the game.
Inside the rules window, and around the board
The rules sit in a window headed HOW TO PLAY, where the payout rule is point seven, the last numbered one. Golden ribbed tubes run down both sides of the machine that holds the board, and while the rules are open, the game screen behind them turns dark.
Where to go next on 1xBet
Away from the chessboard, the casino section and the slot reels each keep a page of their own, apart from the 1xGames catalogue. Bets on matches that have not started yet go through pre-match betting; on games already in progress, through live betting. Sign-up happens via the registration page, after which Al Barid Bank can put dirhams on the balance you bet from.
