Excalibur Slot Review
Anyone who has studied British history is undoubtedly familiar with the legend surrounding the Excalibur sword, if not, playing the Excalibur game is an excellent place to start. The enlightened narrative of the mythical sword Excalibur, as presented via the animations and sounds of Net Entertainment, will transport you back to the darkest times of the history of British islands. From King Arthur to Merlin the Magician, all of your favourite characters are present and lifelike in a manner that will make you think of a beloved children's tale. Naturally, the story of King Arthur lies at the heart of the game. With horses whinnying, voices chatting, and a flute being played in the distance, the background noises provide the sensation of passing through a mediaeval marketplace. A sound of regal trumpeting announces winning lines. The symbols on Excalibur are drawn in a comical manner while adhering to traditional Celtic patterns.

Excalibur Features
Wild Symbol. The Wild can be shown in any place on the game field and can stand for any other symbol, but not for the Scatter and the Golden Wild symbols. Any wins with regular Wilds are doubled.
Golden Wild Symbol. The Golden Excalibur only can be shown on the third reel, but it acts like any other Wild symbol and can stand for any other symbols to make winning combinations, but not for Scatter, and it multiplies your win by 4 for every symbol but not for regular Wild. When both Wilds and Golden Wilds can be shown on a winning line, only one Golden Wild multiplier is used to multiply the win.
Free Spins. The gold grail is the scatter symbol. It pays out the total bet times the multiplier. In the main game, this feature is activated in case 3 or more Scatters are shown at any place on the game field. During the feature, wins from Wilds and Golden Wilds that are part of a beltline are multiplied by both the Wild multiplier and the Free Spins multiplier.
• 2 Scatters pay x2 total bet
• 3 Scatters give 10 Free Spins and x5 total bet
• 4 Scatters give 20 Free Spins and x25 total bet
• 5 Scatters give 30 Free Spins and x500 total bet

Our Experience Playing Excalibur
We ran a standard 300 spins test with a bet of 1 EUR and a budget of 200 EUR. For the first 100 spins, we got a maximum payout of 3 times the bet. We were lucky to land 3 Scatters and activate the Free Spins. During the feature, the three more scatters were shown on the game field and we got +10 Free Spins, which gave us the opportunity to get 47 times the bet. For the first hundred spins, we lost 12 EUR. The second 100 spins gave us a max payout of 3x our stake. We launched the Free Spins again and were able to get 17x our bet. For the second hundred spins, we lost 19 EUR. The third hundred spins gave us the maximum payout of 3 times the bet. For Free Spins, we received 21 times the bet. For 300 spins we lost 45 EUR.
Excalibur Slot Verdict
The fairy tale story from NetEnt looks pretty nice if you're a fan of the King Arthur and Excalibur cartoons. The reels spin a little slower than you're used to, but the pay lines are clearly marked with golden gems on the sides of the game screen. But cartoonish graphics are not suitable for everyone, as well as the sound component of the slot, starts to get boring after 40-50 spins. In this slot, the risks are not too high, as are the winnings. If you like fantasy-based slots, you will love this game and you will be able to relax and have a good time. But don't expect great results from it. So if you are looking for big payouts and volatile slots, don't waste your time.
