The Sword and the Grail

Join King Arthur, his power sword Excalibur, a few minions and the magical grail in this royal effort from Play’n Go – The Sword and the Grail online slot. With a grand top payout and various other bonus features to make you feel like a king, this casino game might have the winning potential needed to put it in your online slots top 10 list. It’s a theme that has been done before, but just how well have Play’n Go adapted the legend of the mighty King Arthur to this game? If you look at their other games like Book of Dead and Inferno Star then it’s almost certainty that The Sword and the Grail will be an outstanding game.

10,000x your bet! That is the most that can be won on a single spin in The Sword and the Grail. This is a humungous amount, and not one seen very often in the online slots scene. The maximum you’ll be able to wager is CA$100.00, so theoretically that should mean that a payout of CA$1,000,000.00 could be possible. We can’t confirm this as studios usually set a maximum they’ll pay on a single spin, with many games capping at CA$250,000.00, however Play’n Go haven’t stated whether it will also be the case with their new title. You can wager as low as CA$0.10 per spin if you so wish, however this isn’t an amount that will see you winning much as a return.

The production level of the graphics must be commended, as they are well detailed and crystal clear. The action all takes place in the round table room, which acts as the background to the reels. Speaking of the reels, there 5 of them combined with 3 rows and 20 paylines. While this might not be the myriad ways to win some studios are shoving into games, the winning possibilities are just as abundant. The optimum RTP is 96.53%, so if you want to get near that number you’ll need to play a sensible strategy.

Feature Symbols

King Arthur is your guy to hand out the big bucks. He’s also bought a few of his buddies with him to join in the fun. This medieval crew all serve as symbols that can fall on the reels on any given spin. There’s the magical Merlin, who along with Lancelot in a separate symbol are worth 750x your bet for a 5 of a kind win. Guinevere is also on the reels and can pay 1250x your bet, while the honourable king is worth 2500x your bet for a 5 of a kind win. There are more regular symbols on the reels, and these are lower value icons consisting of playing card symbols T, J, Q, K and A.

Both the sword and the grail make their respective appearances on the reels. The grail as the wild and sword as the scatter. The wild has the power to substitute all regular icons to create winning paylines, and can also pay 5000x your bet, while the scatter is the key to bonus feature fun.

Bonuses and Jackpots

There are 2 bonus features, and everyone will really want both to be occurring as often as possible. Should anyone land 3 or more sword scatters on the reels on the same spin you’ll have triggered the free spins feature. This comes with 5 free spins, however this is only stage 1 of the free spins. There are 4 stages in total, and to move from 1 stage to the next you’ll need to collect a certain number of swords. Each stage has 5 free spins, but wilds that fall in each stage grow in multiplier value as you go to a higher stage.

The wilds are the second bonus feature that brings big wins. Every wild that falls can bring with it a multiplier. Wilds can fall with a 2x, 5x, 10x and 100x multiplier, or with no multiplier at all. However, in the free spins all wilds will fall with a multiplier value attached.

The free spins combined with the wilds are more than enough reason to play this online slot game – and the fact that both aren’t too hard to land doesn’t hurt either. Add to this the huge maximum win of 10,000x your bet and there’s just too much enticement to resist. It’s time to hold Excalibur up to the skies in glory, because wins are about to be bestowed upon you.
