Sword And The Grail Slot

Graphics

On an epic quest like this you need three elements. A hero, a villain and a quest. Actually, you also need a love interest. So four things. The game symbols are expertly drawn, with the high-paying symbols taking shape as a King, Princess, Knight and Wizard.

It’s unclear if the Wizard is the villain of the piece, but he certainly has intentions towards the Grail of the slot’s title. As we all know when we play online slots we need lower paying symbols too, and these come here in the shape of various coins. Each coin is a different colour, and on each is emblazoned A, K, Q, J, T - neat design touches that elevate even the simplest of game symbols to more than just a standard piece.

The Sword of the game’s title is our Scatter symbol and our road to the Holy Grail of slot wins, whooshing down the reels in trails of blue flame. The Grail also makes an appearance as the game’s Wild symbol, substituting for all symbols and glistening with gems and rubies.

Gameplay

The game plays out across five reels and 20 paylines, as do many Play ‘N Go online slots. Some slots fans may prefer Ways to Win rather than traditional paylines, but as long as the adventure keeps rolling on at breakneck speed we aren’t too fussed.

As you might expect from the Grail Wild, there is more to it than meets the eye. A sword is stuck in a stone above the reels, with x2, x5, x10 and x100 in intervals on the hilt. Wilds can appear on any reel as regular Wilds, but these Multiplier Wilds are indicated by the sword sliding out of the stone and stopping on the multiplier indicated. Should the x100 multiplier be highlighted, the sword will be fully out of the stone and we will have riches enough to sit on a throne of our own and our big slot win ambitions will well and truly come true. And that’s just from the base game.

Landing three Sword Scatters anywhere across the reels triggers the Free Spins feature, which is when the fun really starts. You initially enjoy 5 free spins with x2 Wilds active, but each Sword Scatter you land fills up a meter above the reels. When you collect 6, 11 and 18 Scatters you not only move up through the Wilds (x5, x10 and x100, respectively) but you also earn another five free spins. Landing just one x100 Wild in the right place will lead to slots wins of epic proportions.

Verdict

Like many Play ‘N Go slots, the key to big wins here lies in the Free Spins feature. But unlike many other Play ‘N Go slots, the x100 Wilds that can make the bonus game so lucrative are also in play during the base game.

The highest-paying King symbol in a five-of-a-kind combination, completed with one or more x100 Wilds? Now that is a reward fit for any knight in the kingdom.
