Online Slot Games Featuring King Arthur Legends

January 7, 2016

When one thinks of myth based online slots, the Greek gods of Olympus automatically come to mind. But the tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are equally potent in mythological symbolism. One of the most popular online slot games at Microgaming online casinos is Avalon, which was released a decade ago. In recent years Microgaming has released two much more complex video slots based on the King Arthur myth. Avalon II and Forsaken Kingdom can be played at Microgaming online casinos like 7 Sultans, All Slots and Jackpot City.

Avalon II brings in characters from the Arthurian legends like Merlin, King Arthur, Guinevere and Morgan Le Fay as symbols on the reels. Being a high profile Microgaming online slot it has the popular 243 ways to win structure. The Avalon II logo is the wild symbol. It appears only on the third reel but makes up by expanding to cover the entire reel. Merlin can appear randomly in the base game. True to his magical character he can multiply the payout by up to 4x or award a bonus up to 20x the total bet. The defining feature in Avalon II is the bonus trail known as Grail Bonus. There are eight different bonus games that are played in turn each time the feature is triggered by the scatter Grail symbols. It takes you on a mission to retrieve the grail. These features award multipliers and free spins with Microgaming add-ons like Trailing Wilds and Rolling Reels. In the Hall of Shadows feature you duel with the Black Knight and retrieve the Grail to win bonus credits.

The Black Knight, referred to as the Dark Knight, plays a more important role in the Forsaken Kingdom online slot game. This game is actually from Rabcat Gaming, but is available at Microgaming online casinos through a special arrangement between the two software providers. The Dark Knight has taken over and you, playing the role of King Arthur, have to summon the Knights of the Round Table for one final mission. When the shield of a knight appears on the reels it is set aside. Once all twelve shields are collected, the Round Table of Fortune feature is activated and you received some hefty bonus credits. Lady Guinevere appears as stacked wilds on the reels. Three or more shield symbols trigger the Epic Battle Bonus. King Arthur pulls Excalibur from the stone revealing between 5 and 12 free spins.
