Take a step back in time and enter the legendary world of King Arthur and his sword. Excalibur is a rich and colourful slot with a generous free spins feature!
Excalibur Overview
One of the most legendary stories of all time made into a slot game. Sounds like a match made in heaven but who will be the lucky one and pull the sword from the stone to gain untold wealth and notoriety?
Excalibur from NetEnt is a fantasy slot based on the story of the legendary sword of King Arthur. The style is more cartoony than some of the rich graphics we have grown to love from NetEnt but it’s charming nonetheless. And with a handsome 30 free spins up for grabs along with a 3x multiplier, there are plenty of chances to earn some decent wins.

Game Design
In this King Arthur inspired slot you’ll find some nice looking animations. The symbols are made up of Merlin, Guinevere, Lady of the Lake, Sir Lancelot, Morgan and Modren all seeking out that coveted Holy Grail! Other symbols include Excalibur and the Golden Chalice which if you land 5 symbols on an active payline will result in a win 500x your stake!
The reels are formed by a pretty standard 5×3 layout, with golden framework surrounding the reels. As you hit the spin button, the reels will begin spinning and land in what we can only hope to be a winning combination! There are 20 bet lines, and wins are paid from left to right. Aside from the number 10 symbols which require you to land just 2 in a win line, all symbols need three or more on an active line to create a winning combination.
The medieval theme is a great one, and the music and illustrations have been tailored perfectly to fit the theme. Although the medieval village sound effects and music get very repetitive after a few minutes. Thankfully you can switch those off. Overall a nice looking slot in our view.
Game Controls
This game has 20 paylines, which you can adjust to activate as many as you want from 1 to 20. The more lines you play, the greater your chances of a winning combination but your stake will increase also.
When playing the maximum 20 bet lines, the game can be played from £0.20 up to £80 per spin. The bet level can be toggled from 1-4, and you can adjust your coin value to find a value suited to your budget.
Game Features
Excalibur is quite simple to play, and there aren’t a huge list of features to wrap your head around. The ones they have are worth noting. In particular, their free spins feature which can award a hefty 30 free spins with a 3x multiplier applied to your wins!
- Wild – appears as the sword symbol can occur in the main game and can substitute for all symbols except the Golden Wild and Scatter. The Wild appearing in a winning combination will multiply any wins x2.
- Golden Wild – substitutes for all symbols except Scatter. Wins pay 4x.
- Scatter – this is the Golden Chalice which can land anywhere on the reels and can complete any winning combination if at least two appear. 3 or more Scatter symbols will trigger the free spins feature.
- Free Spins Feature – 3 Scatter symbols will award you 10 Free Spins, 4 Scatters = 20 Free Spins, and finally, 5 Scatters will get you 30 Free Spins. Any wins resulting from free spins will be subject to a 3x multiplier. Additional free spins can also be won during the feature, but the 3x multiplier would not be applied.
