Based on the legend of King Arthur, this online slot was developed by Gold Coin Studios in partnership with the ever-popular game producer, Microgaming. In the search for King Arthur’s gold, you’ll run into expanding wilds, double symbols, free spins and respins, and the chance to win 4,000x your wager. It’s medieval theme meets modern gameplay at its best.
Ready to meet all the legendary characters of this age-old story, including beautiful Guinevere, Merlin the wizard, and of course, King Arthur, the hero himself? We’re taking a look at what the slot Arthur’s Gold has to offer, from the graphics and features to the fun gameplay and prizes.
Game overview
Fans of online casino games who enjoy the thrill of high-volatility games will feel right at home with this online slot. Arthur’s Gold hosts a standard 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines. The return to player (RTP) comes in nicely at 96.19%, while the $0.20 to $50 betting range is suitable for all players. The high volatility of this game means players can expect less frequent, but bigger payouts.
The graphics are exactly what you might expect from a medieval-themed game, and there are a number of interesting little bonus features that spruce up the base game (more on that later.) Lovers of fantasy in particular will find plenty to enjoy in this intriguing casino slot game.
How to play
The game takes place on a standard set of reels, with the balance, win and bet amounts featured on a banner below the reels, and the settings, paytable, and “Spin” button displayed on the right of the reels.
To start playing, first review the paytable to get acquainted with the symbols and their values, then set your bet amount (that’s $0.20 to $50.) If you’re using the autoplay feature, set your autospins (between 10 and 100,) as well as your loss and win limits by clicking on the arrow symbol above the Spin button. Once that’s done, you’re ready to play!
Graphics
The golden-framed reels are set in a castle vault in Camelot that’s filled with piles of gold. The background is a deep royal blue, which really makes the symbols stand out. On the reels you’ll find the low-paying card symbols A, K, Q and J, as well as (in order of value from highest to lowest): King Arthur, Merlin (wizard and Arthur’s friend and advisor,) Guinevere (Arthur’s wife,) Lancelot (commander of Arthur’s forces and his best friend) and Viviane (the Lady of the Lake and the enchantress who captures Merlin.) Other symbols include the wild – a shield with “Wild” written across it, a second wild that becomes active during the bonus round, and the scatter symbol – a chest overflowing with gold coins.
The graphics are high-quality and well designed, and the quest-like soundtrack creates an immersive atmosphere for players to feel as if they were sitting at the Round Table with King Arthur himself.
Features
Double symbols
When a wild symbol substitutes for one of the high-paying symbols (Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Lancelot or Viviane,) it’ll transform into a double symbol, making it possible to land up to 10-of-a-kind across a payline.
Wilds
The wilds are where the action is in Arthur’s Gold! The “Wild Pays” mechanic ensures that landing 2 or more wilds from the leftmost reel will earn you a cash payout. The wild substitutes for all symbols, except for the scatter, to increase your chances of landing a winning combination on a payline – 2, 3, 4, or 5 wild symbols also earn you 2x, 6x, 30x or 500x your wager respectively. A second wild is activated during the bonus round whose presence triggers the respins feature.
Double Up feature
After every win on the base game, you’ll get the chance to play the optional double-up feature round. If you choose to do so, you’ll have to guess the outcome of a coin toss – heads or tails. If you guess the correct answer, your winnings from the previous round will be doubled, but if you get it wrong… you lose your previous win. (So make sure you go into this feature with your eyes open!)
Bonuses
Free spins
Land 3, 4 or 5 treasure chest scatters on any payline to score 2x, 5x or 10x your wager, as well as 10 free spins.
Respins
As mentioned, during the free spins bonus round, a second wild symbol becomes available. This symbol can land on reels 2, 3 and 4, and expands when it does to cover the entire reel and trigger a respin. What’s more, if another wild symbol lands during the respin, it expands again and is locked in for yet another respin – this can happen up to three times consecutively. Mustn’t grumble!
