The Sword and the Grail slot summary
The Sword and the Grail slot by Play'n Go returns us to the popular theme of medieval mystery and Arthurian legend and Play'n Go tell us straight away we can really find the Holy Grail here y winning up to 10,000x our bet. If you've ever played Microgaming's classic King Arthur, Netent's Excalibur or Quickspin's Mighty Arthur you'll know that rarely is the theme represented childishly and the games can offer some serious pays and this is no different. The transparent reels lie over a dark torchlit castle keep and we get some classical and powerful music as we spin them with good animations when wins land, especially the scatters. So will our bankroll be stuck in stone forever, or can we release it from its rocky destiny?
On The Reels...
The Sword and the Grail slot gives us 20 fixed pay lines over the usual 5x3 grid for that amount and symbols are single. The Grail is our Wild and can appear on all reels which if it does pays our best 5-of-a-kind win at 50x bet. King Arthur is next best at 25x, Princess 12.5x, Prince and Merlin 7.5x with five card values of 4, 3 and 2x bet respectively for a full line. Now those Wilds can bring us a big stroke of fortune in the base game as there are no random modifiers, but when forming a pay the Grail Wilds can reveal a 2, 5, 10 or 100x multiplier for the win, therefore making 5,000x bet possible for a line of Wilds!
Free Games
Well before we start telling you what happens when 3 or more Excalibur Sword scatters appear, it's clear the idea for this bonus is straight from Nextgen's classic 300 Shields slot. You get 5 free games initially and your 3-scatters are included in the meter above the reels which gives guaranteed Wild multipliers. So you begin at 2x and when 6 Swords are collected you then reach a 5-spin retrigger whereby the Wilds are 5x. Get to 11 Swords collected and then another 5 spins are awarded where Wilds are 10x. If you're very lucky you'll then get to 18 or more Swords collected and get the final 5-spins retrigger where any Wild win pays at 100x multiplier. This is where you're most likely to see the huge wins times-stake that are shown in the splash screen, exciting stuff!
Our View...
It's certainly a game for those big-win chasers and high volatility lovers who will no doubt like The Sword and the Grail slot immensely. The graphics, sounds and animations are really good here and make the playing experience complete along with the theme and don't forget there is a chance of very big hits in the base game too, although the 100x Wild is very rare. The free games are exciting given the slot that inspired them plus a decent 96.42% RTP is your factory setting although some providers may offer less, so always check the game information where you play. If your prepared to accept it may be easier to get blood from a stone than Excalibur here, then give it a try...
