Excalibur, I call on your power! The story of King Arthur and the magical sword, Excalibur, is what we see throughout this title.

Occupying the reels are many familiar symbols of this time, such as the heroic knight, the shield, and the all-powerful Excalibur!

Wild Golden Coins will bring in plenty of returns during the base game but it is with Camelot free spins where the power of Excalibur can be truly unlocked. The power of Excalibur increases the more that you collect as you go in search of that 10,000x max win!

The latest slot will now mix it up with the Microgaming army, and join recent smash-hit titles such as Jurassic World: Raptor Riches, Alice in WildLand, and the slot that has already paid out a huge amount, Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon WowPot Megaways.

Gameplay & Features – Do you Have What it Takes to Claim Excalibur?

There are 3,125 ways to win in this title. The game features 8 paying symbols and a Wild coin that can link between any paying symbol to create more wins. There are 2 main ways to hit the big money, firstly by landing the Free Spin scatter symbols to trigger the free spins, or by landing the Excalibur symbols which use a scatter pays mechanic.

The free spins game will feature a multiplier to increase your payouts, but the key to landing the jackpot is by collecting all 10 Excalibur symbols for the 10,000x prize. This prize can also be won via the same way during the base game.

All Features on Snowborn Game’s Legend of the Sword

Legend of the Sword has many ways to build up the bank, but the Free Spins and Excalibur’s are how to get the big money.

Here are all the features you can look forward to in Legend of the Sword:

• King Richard Free Spin Scatter: Landing 3 of these scatter symbols will trigger 3 free spins. They can land on reels 1, 3, and 5 only.
• Excalibur: Land 5 or more at any time during gameplay to receive a payout. Collect 10 for the jackpot.
• Camelot Free Spins: 3 Free Spins are awarded to begin this feature in addition to a 1x multiplier. Every time an Excalibur lands, the free spins will reset and the multiplier will increase.
• Camelot Multiplier: This is in effect during the free spins feature only. The multiplier will start at 1x and will increase +1 for each Excalibur landed, up to a maximum multiplier of 10x.

Did you know? Microgaming came up with the original ways-to-win reel mechanic. However, unlike Big Time Gaming with its Megaways, Microgaming allowed all other slot developers to incorporate the mechanic into their games. This was to help the online slot industry as a whole.

Camelot Free Spins

The free spins feature will be triggered when landing 3 of the King Richard Free Spins symbols during the base game. You start with 3 free spins and a multiplier set at 1. Just like in the base game, you spin the reels and hope to land wins, however, for each Excalibur symbol landed, the multiplier will increase by +1 and the free spin count will be reset back to 3. An Excalibur meter collects all the Excalibur symbols landed and tops out at a maximum of 10. The game won’t pay for Excalibur scatters immediately after a spin but instead at the end of the feature round. The Excalibur symbols collected are tallied up and paid out as one, as per the paytable. The multiplier won’t be applied to Excalibur pays.

Fun Fact: Snowborn Games signed a deal to become an independent studio of Microgaming in April 2020. The firm has a core focus on developing slots that provide a gaming experience that is both unique and customised. The first slot the development company made as part of this partnership was The Vault, a highly volatile 20-payline slot that features free spins, re-spins, and multipliers.

Symbols & Payouts

Legend of the Sword has 8 regular paying symbols plus the Excalibur symbol which pays as a scatter. You need a minimum of 3 standard symbols to create a winning combination. As for Excalibur, this pays from a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10.

Rounding Up Legend of the Sword – Excalibur’s Power Holds the Key!

This is a historical/legendary themed slot that possesses features numerous features. The base game has neat graphics, plus it’s fairly rewarding with regular returns, and the feature game can be a very nice bonus too. The standout, however, is the power of Excalibur that plays out throughout the entire game. Plus, having the opportunity to max win in both the base game and feature is certainly an attractive feature, and not all slots offer this chance; separating this title from many of its kind.
