Legend of the Sword Slot Machine: Review & Demo
Snowborn Games and Microgaming are set to release a new online slot, which is going to be called Legend of the Sword. The famous story of Excalibur, the sword pulled out of stone by King Arthur, has inspired the design of this game, the same way it has influenced several others over the years. We’re looking at a game with good rewards, excellent graphics, and even some features that are not quite the same as those found in most slots.
You’re playing on 5x5 reels, which gives you a total of 3,125 ways to win. Add the game’s instant cash prizes, and there are a couple of ways for you to reach its 10,000x jackpot (worth up to $240,000 cash). Its RTP is 96.12%. Several interesting features were implemented, including here the Excalibur and King Arthur scatters, free spins, wilds, and the instant cash prize ladder.
Legend of the Sword Betting and Prizes
Your options range from $0.20 to $24. There are several bet options for you to choose from, in that range.
Whatever your bet may be, the return will go up to 10,000x. Someone that uses the maximum bet can get in exchange rewards of up to $240,000 cash. The way to get that much is either through the slot’s many winning combinations and even the free spins multipliers, or through the instant cash prizes from the ladder you get on the left side.
RTP is at 96.12% by default, but some casinos may choose a lower setting, since Microgaming gives them this option in newer slots.
Slot Features
A wild symbol will be at your disposal in the game, and when it lands it can be used for all winning combinations forming through its reel. The exact position of the wild is not important, since it’s a substitute in a game with ways to win.
The focus, for most players, is going to be on the prize ladder that’s shown on the left side of the game area. As you can see there, getting a prize requires having 5 to 10 Excalibur swords collected in a single round. This can bring you a prize of up to 10,000x the stake.
If you manage to get access to the free spins, with 3 King Arthur scatters required to get you there, you will receive a total of 3 free spins. In this mode, you reset the number of free spins back to 3 whenever you get Excalibur scatters to land. You also collect them, giving the feature’s multiplier a boost at the same time. Once the feature is over, the game looks at the number of collected Excalibur scatters, and pays according to the instant prize ladder (up to 10,000x).
Theme & Design
The story of King Arthur and Camelot has been a favorite for many, and it often turns out to be a good-looking slot machine, just like we see here. The sword Excalibur gets most of the attention in this case, but we see plenty of other Medieval-inspired graphics on its reels, and in the background.
Four low value symbols, the card suits, get us started. We then see the goblet, the helmet, a shield, and a crown, for the top paying positions. Feature symbols show Excalibur, King Arthur, and the wild.
Conclusion
Legend of the Sword is not a bad game, and you could even say that it has some unique features, thanks to the way its free spins were designed. It will do just fine for a player that’s playing at a Microgaming casino, and wants something with a bit more volatility and potential.
