Towering Pays Excalibur slot

The playing field starts with 5 reels in 3 rows and 15 lines and you can expand it up to 5x8 with 65 lines. The wild can appear on all reels. You can turn on the Quest Bet, which costs a bit more per spin, and this adds an extra Hold & Spin feature. Here you can get really a lot of Bonus features and we will tell you more about them below.

To start this adventure all you need is:

• Open Towering Pays Excalibur at your favorite casino
• Click on the menu button to view the paytable and rules
• Choose a bet: from €0.25 to €25
• Spin the reels!

The game has a serious mathematical model for big players looking for massive prizes. Here you have to deal with medium-high volatility, so it is difficult to trigger combinations but every successful spin brings a nice prize. As for the theoretical Return to Player, it is 95.6% (the same when playing the Ante bet). But if you use Buy Bonus features the RTP is from 95.5% to 95.7%, depending on Buy Bonus you select.

Excalibur Magic

Once you get a stacked Excalibur symbol (fully or partially in view) on reels 1, 2 and 3 in the base game, the slot will trigger the Excalibur Magic feature which is essentially the Mystery Symbol feature. You will see how the Excalibur swords turn into a randomly selected standard symbol. • Excalibur may appear on all reels in the Camelot feature 5x8 game grid. Swords can land on different reels with different features, including on all 5 reels when the playing field is maxed out in the Camelot feature.

Stage Play

Whenever you land Excalibur in at least 1 position on every reel it can land on, you get the Stage Play feature. This feature adds 1 row and for each additional row, the grid gets +10 lines. The grid can get a maximum of 8 rows and 65 lines in total. The grid only resets when the Avalon feature comes to an end.

Prize Multiplier

At random times, a Prize Multiplier may be added to the paylines. The size of the possible multiplier directly depends on the size of the playing field. The more extra rows you add, the higher the multiplier, and it ranges from 2x to 10x. A prize multiplier may occur on any winning spin.

• 100 Bulky Fruits
• Stormforged
• Aviator
• Exotic Fruit Deluxe
• Stacked

Avalon

If you activate the fourth Avalon Feature Wheel, it will award you with Camelot free spins and a 200x Bet bonus (if you are not playing the Quest Bet). This feature will be activated when Excalibur appears in at least 1 position on reels 1, 2, and 4 on the maximum 5x8 playing field during the base game. This entitles you to spin the Feature Wheel.

Feature Wheel

The 3 Feature Wheel symbols present on reels 1, 3 and 5 will trigger the Feature Wheel with which you can win any of the 4 bonus rounds: Win spins, Hold & Spin or wheel upgrades to give you a better chance at more profitable features.

Each Bonus Round awards 6 Free spins and you start by resetting the 5x3 playing field. You get 1 extra spin every time you land Excalibur in at least 1 position on all possible reels it can appear on. The Lancelot feature gives you more frequent prize multipliers and the Merlin feature offers a guaranteed prize multiplier on every win.

In the Arthur Bonus Round, Arthur's sword can also appear on reel 4, and you can also win from the Bonus multiplier more often than in the Base game. The top tier Camelot Bonus Round can land Arthur's sword on all 5 reels, but only if the grid is filled to the max and you'll also get more frequent but not guaranteed prize multipliers for every win.

The Win Spin feature adds guaranteed Excalibur swords that cover the first 3 reels, so only the last 2 reels spin. The playing field does not expand during this Feature, but you are guaranteed a win on every spin!

Hold & Spin

When you activate the Quest Bet, Excalibur's mystery symbol will sometimes show a shield symbol, and you need at least 6 copies of it to activate the Hold & Spin feature. Each additional shield landed above 6 adds 1 row to the grid up to 8. You get 3 Respins with locked trigger symbols, and new sticky shields reset the Respins counter. Each shield brings a random prize, and filling the entire playing field gives you a 1,000x jackpot. You can also activate the Feature Wheel with shields.

Bonus Buy

You can use also the Bonus buy option - it gives you 2 options and you will basically pay 50x for a Feature Wheel spin, which can trigger wheel upgrades, Lancelot spins, or 2 win spins. By paying 80x you will receive a Feature Wheel spin, which also includes Merlin spins and up to 5 win spins.

No player wants to buy a pig in a poke, yeah? Luckily, you can play Towering Pays Excalibur for free! This game by Games Lab comes with a free demo mode. Using it, you can set the reels in motion to create combinations and trigger Bonus features by betting with ‘fun’ coins instead of real money. Of course, if you select this mode, you will not be able to withdraw the wins, as they are not real, and to win real money, you need to play for real money.

The max win of this slot machine is 6,500x the bet and we would say that this is a big potential, but it is significantly lower than other slots from the Scandinavian series. But the volatility is also a bit less brutal, and this slot is so chock-full of Bonus features (see above) that it won't be too hard to hit the max prize.

Jackpot

During the Hold & Spin Bonus round, you will get locked shield symbols and each new shield will reset the number of Respins back to 3 and become sticky. Each shield brings a random prize, and filling the entire playing field gives you a 1,000x jackpot!

The design of the previous slot, Towering Pays Valhalla, we liked more than in this sequel - Towering Pays Excalibur. Accumulation of additional Bonus features and all this complexity... it's not necessarily good, and we think it's all too complicated and disharmonious. Some players will enjoy the fact that this slot has a lot to learn, but most will probably avoid the Bonus features overloading.

The elevation feature doesn't come with the ‘grid reset fatigue’ you can get from Infinity Reels, and it certainly helps that the playing field doesn't reset until you activate the Avalon feature. The 6,500x potential has been cut down significantly, but the volatility is a bit less brutal as well. Overall, this slot feels like a step back when compared to Towering Pays Valhalla.
