The Sword and the Grail Excalibur Overview
Back in 2019 Play’n Go released a new game called The Sword and the Grail. Which was a pretty big hit when it came out and even received a sort of clone with The Green Knight. Now almost 5 years later there’s a sequel with the same name, just with the word Excalibur added. But with much higher win potential and a small added bonus.
The game uses the same Knights of the Round Table theme as before and even comes with almost identical symbols. The reels are now set in a big hall inside a castle with colorful banners hanging down from the ceiling.
You will find 5 reels that are each 3 symbols high and 20 paylines.
Besides standard, low paying, card symbols you will also find high paying characters. There are also wild symbols and scatter symbols on all reels. And last there is a special instant win symbol which can also appear on all reels.
The Sword and the Grail Excalibur comes with a very big maximum payout of 25.000 times your bet and is a very high volatile slot game.
Features
Sword Multiplier
Above the reels you will find a sword with multipliers of x2, x5, x10 and x100.
At random during free spins, one of the multipliers can become active. When this happens, all wild symbols will now come with the active multiplier. Multipliers don’t accumulate when more than one wild symbol appears in a winning combination.
Instant Win
Special instant win symbols might appear with a random cash value. These are always collected and awarded. When a multiplier is active, it also applies to these instant prizes.
Free Spins Feature
3 or more scatter symbols will award the free spins feature. Before free spins start you will spin a wheel that will determine how many free spins and starting scatters you are awarded. You can get up to 12 free spins and up to 4 scatters during this spin. After this the free spins are played.
During free spins the sword multiplier will be filled each time a scatter symbol appears.
Each time you collect 5 scatter symbols, the next multiplier will become active and you will get 3 extra free spins.
As an added bonus, all wild symbols that appear on the reels will become walking wild and move to a random spot after each spin, unless they walk of the reels.
Verdict
A lot of the original game stayed the same. The theme, the up to x100 multiplier and even the way free spins work. What is new is the instant prize symbol and the fact that wild symbols are now walking wilds, during free spins. And of course a much higher maximum win. From 10.000 times on the original, to 25.000 times on this new version.
Overall it’s a bit like they released a pimped up version of the original. And this also means that if you didn’t like the original, you will also not like this game.
It’s a good way for new players to get acquainted with this title and old players to get even bigger wins.
But overall it’s a solid game that is worth a try,
