Slot Review: Avalon

Those with romantic souls will thrill to the gentle appeal of the Avalon online slot machine game. According to the legend of King Arthur, forefather of the British Empire, Avalon was the name of the place (and the lake) where he was taken to be healed after fighting with his illegitimate son, Mordred, at the Battle of Camlann. Here, the mythical Lady of the Lake had given Arthur the sword Excalibur, which could only be wielded by the One True King. Some say that Arthur was laid to rest in Avalon, whereas others believe that he simply rests and will walk again as the King. Nowadays, the “real life” location for Avalon is given as Glastonbury, the island where the bones of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere were believed to have been found.

Avalon is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot machine game. Coin values range from one cent to fifty cents, with max coins of two hundred. There is a three thousand coin jackpot. If you are betting max coins, you will be eligible for the top prize of fifteen hundred dollars. This is a small jackpot, but one that pays out often.

The Avalon symbol is wild in this Microgaming slot, except for during free spins. At that point, it is the treasure chest that can stand in for all other icons on the reels in a winning combination. The Lady of the Lake is the scatter symbol. If you get at least three of these, you win twelve free spins! The number of Lady icons you got (from three to five) determines your multiplier for all winning during this round, which can go up to SEVEN times! There is a simple “guess the color” bonus game on which you can gamble your winnings.
