One of the most enduring legends of the British Isles is surely that of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table; Avalon plays a big part in that great story as the place where the sword Excalibur was forged and where Arthur recovered following the battle of Camlann.  It does not exist in real life but Microgaming have used it as the basis for this entertaining online slot.

Avalon is a five reel and twenty payline game which is perhaps a little basic in design but which plays with a speed and clarity which is pretty addictive.  There’s a mystical soundtrack to the proceedings and the lower value symbols are represented standard playing cards.

Higher value symbols are a silver cup (the Holy Grail?), a jewelled ornament, the Avalon coat of arms and a crown.  Special symbols are the Lady In The Lake scatter and two wilds – Avalon in the clouds and a treasure chest.

Bonus Features

Lady In The Lake Free Spins

Landing three, four or five of this legendary character anywhere on the reels will trigger this feature and you’ll receive a generous 12 free spins with a possible 7x multiplier.  Both the wild symbols will be active during this phase and it’s also possible to win 12 more free spins by landing three or more scatter symbols again.

Gamble Feature

Of course we all like a gamble feature and Avalon provides us with one; once you’ve created a winning combo you’ll be able to click the ‘Gamble’ button underneath the reels for a chance to double or quadruple your win.

It’s a standard card game which let’s you choose whether the next card will be black or red (for a 2x win) or what the next suit will be (for a 4x win); get it right and you can continue or collect you winnings, get it wrong and your heading back to the standard game with no winnings.

Verdict

Avalon is a simple but entertaining slot with an enduring popularity and it’s not hard to see why; some lovely graphics and an enchanting soundtrack always keep us returning to this old favourite.
