Avalon

The Monkey Summary

Tthe Arthurian legend: a story of mythical knights, round tables and a grail that bestows eternal youth and infinite abundance on its beholder? Well, it sounds good doesn’t it? And if Monty Python like it, well it’s good enough for me.

With a x7 multiplier offer in the free spins in the Avalon slot, I am prepared to welcome this game to my tree with open arms. Who said primates don’t love a myth or two?

The Graphics

Avalon was  where King Arthur’s famous sword Excalibur was forged but the graphics in this original Microgaming Avalon aren’t quite as sharp. It’s not going to compete with games like the Warlords Crystals of Power slot for imagery.

Still, the slot is colourful in its look and feel, so don’t let that put you off as the game play is potentially very rewarding. When it comes down to it, Avalon is a classic game like the Foxin’ Wins Again slot and Fluffy Favourites- it’s just one you have to try at some point.

Avalon Game Play

This 5-reel slot is a 3 row and 20 pay-lines slot, just under the average of 25 lines that you’ll find on something like the Agent Valkyrie slot machine or other similar games. Bets start at 00.1 while your maximum bet is 0.50, so you can choose to play whatever budget you are on.

The lower value symbols in Avalon slot are represented by playing card symbols 10, J, Q, K & A. The higher value symbols are all theme related and include the fabled Holy Grail, a bejeweled ornament, Arthur’s crown and the Avalon coat of arms.

The wild symbol here is the Avalon in the clouds symbol. These icons will do the usual job of Wilds which is to substitute for all other symbols on the game reels to create more winning combinations for players.

The Lady of the Lake (the mysterious woman that hands Excalibur to Arthur in the first place) acts as the Scatter symbol. Land 2x of these magical sorceresses and you will get an instant cash win.

The Bonuses

She’s a generous woman that Lady of the Lake. Should you land 3x or more of the Lady of The Lake Scatters, you will be awarded 12 free spins. During the free spins round a Treasure Chest symbol will appear and act as an additional Wild which means even more chances to win big.

There is also a possible 7x multiplier on offer too, that will increase as the spins play out. You can also re-trigger the feature by landing a further 3x of the Scatter icons.

Gamble Feature

If you feel like making a further punt, you will find a gamble mini game in Avalon slot which just might tickle your fancy. After any winning spin, you can gamble simply by predicting the next turn of a card. If you guess the correct suit you will quadruple your win, or by guessing the right colour of the card you could double it.

The Monkey Verdict

The Avalon slot’s players have been returning to this game again and again since its release in 2006 – and it’s all thanks to 7x multiplier on offer during the free spins round. Fans of the fables of King Arthur Legend will enjoy this slot, as will the rest of us courtesy of the generous pay table.
