Avalon II The Quest for the Grail Slot machine review

Avalon II – The Quest for the Grail

Avalon II – The Quest for the Grail, a Microgaming design which 243 paylines/ways to win on its 5 reels, offers a jackpot of $750, while the features include wilds, Free Spins, multipliers and scatter symbols.

The action in the second Slot from the Avalon series that Microgaming designed seems to take place during one of the stories that involves Arthur, the king of Camelot, and a few of the main characters that were part of the story as well. It's an interesting design in this game, but unfortunately there are also card icons taking way too much space on the reels. Besides the card icons you will also find symbols with the Grail, Lady of the Lake, the Avalon II logo, Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Morgan and Black Knight.

Because of the ways to win system, which the game uses, wagers select all the lines available, without giving the player the option to bet only on some of them. The player can choose a coin value, and the number of coins he wants to use per line, but the bet is limited to the equivalent of 30 lines. The first selection is the coin value, between $0.01 and $0.05. Next, we have the number of coins per line, which can be 1 to 5. Since there are 30 lines used in the bet, the $0.25 per line becomes a $7.50 bet. The jackpot is valued at $750, and the paytable prizes get updated each time you modify the bet.

The wild symbol is the logo of the game, and it can substitute for all the regular symbols.

The symbol with Lady of the Lake, holding a sword, may appear on the 3rd reel, and if it does, it expands as a wild, and it can help the player get additional combinations.

The most important part of the game is the bonus game though. You need three to five Grail symbols to get it active, but once you do, there are up to 8 bonus rounds that you can choose from. You start out by reforging Excalibur, which is Arthur's sword, and you make money while doing so. You then gain access to a round with 15 free spins, complete with an extra wild symbol which has a 2x multiplier. There are multiple quests like this, part of the Bonus round, which either give you free spins or prizes, all great to have in a game about Arthur and Camelot.

The game is a lot of fun, and you will enjoy it especially if you gain access to the round with the Grail quest.
