Arthurs Gold

Intro

Set in the medieval world, or rather the setting of the famous Arthurian legends, Arthur’s Gold is a 5x3 and 20 paylines slot release with Wilds, Scatters and Double Symbols that provide the opportunity for 10 high paying symbols to appear on the reels.

Anyone who is ever-so-slightly familiar with the mythological story of King Arthur, since these high paying symbols come as the characters from this tale - Viviane, Lancelot, Guinevere, Merlin and Arthur himself take their place in the slot machine.

The game is made by software developer Microgaming, together with Gold Coin Studios.

Recently, the two studios signed a deal to partner on some slot releases and this title is the very first fruit of that collaboration.

Theme

There have been several Arthurian slot releases in the past. King Arthur Slot from Ash Gaming and Arthur’s Camelot by KamaGames come to mind. The name of this release, however, evokes a similar sense as Ygdrassil’s Arthur’s Fortune.

Chasing or hoarding any gold isn't really what Arthurian legends are about, however, it is befitting for a slot release.

So in front of a mountain of gold coins that make the backdrop, is a golden-rimmed and royal blue slot machine where the beautifully colored royals and characters spin. Graphics and visuals are truly on-point, and music delivers a sense of epicness without being too blatant. 

How Much Can You Bet And What Features To Expect?

The betting range goes from $0.01 to $2.50 per line, meaning $0.20 to $50.00 on all 20 betways. The maximum win of 4000x of the total bet means a potential win of $200,000.00! This, we have to say, is pretty generous.

The variance is pretty high and volatility is around the average number of 96.19%, making for a very exciting gameplay.

The four royals that consist solely of letters are, as usual, the least paying symbols.

Now, let's talk about the most interesting feature – double symbols that appear in the single reel position. While not exactly a novelty, it is a feature that is more rarely seen in slot releases.

What it means is that the high paying symbols of Arthurian characters can award up to 10 of-a-kind pay. Each of these high symbols has a different value to them, Viviane being the least paying one, from 0.75 for the minimum of 3 on the reels to 50.00 for the maximum of ten.

Lancelot, Guinevere and Merlin are next when going from lower to higher pay, with King Arthur, of course being the most paying symbol of the lot, starting with the same value and going significantly higher with 10 of-a-kind, paying 125.00 of the bet.

The treasure chest is the scatter, paying a certain amount based on the placed bet and granting extra spins. 3 pay 2.00, 4 pay 5.00, and 5 pay 10.00. All of these grant award 10 extra spins.

Wilds, as always, substitute for any other symbol (even counting the double symbols!), except the scatter.

During the extra spins feature, there are special Wilds that appear on the middle three reels that expand and lock, remaining in position during the subsequent extra spin.

To Conclude

Arthur’s Gold is a video slot that is undoubtedly developed by a team of people who knew exactly what they wanted to achieve.

With a very dynamic experience, some rare and interesting features, and a pretty generous maximum jackpot, it is hard to find a flaw in this game.

Also worth mentioning, is that being a modern release, it works as well on mobile devices as when played on a desktop computer.

As the first collaboration between the two iGaming studios, this title hits the target. And hopefully, they'll gather around their round table again soon, to deliver more slot releases like this.
