Lady of Avalon is a video slot developed by the famous UK-based casino software provider Barcrest. It was released in spring 2019. The game is inspired by the legends of King Arthur and possibly by the novels of Marion Zimmer Bradley, an American author of fantasy books such as The Mists of Avalon, The Forest House and Lady of Avalon. Historic themes are always more interesting when fantasy gets mixed with facts, and Lady of Avalon slot makes great use of this fact.

As one launches the game, one is taken to a faraway land and lands in a peaceful landscape setting by the water. The backdrop features trees with leaves that move and bulrushes which slowly dance in the wind as the water glistens. The slot features five reels in the centre, three positions each. The control panel is below the reel set, showing only the most essential of buttons. The symbols, as presented in the paytable, are 10, J, Q, K, A, book, black horse, the legendary town of Camelot and the wizard Merlin. The Lady of Avalon is the Wild and it also doubles as the Scatter.

It takes three matching symbols as a minimum to receive a payout, and there are 10 paying lines in the game. All wins are calculated from the left. When a yellow banner unravels behind the regular symbols, they become special symbols and their true potential is unleashed in the Free Spins Bonus round.

To trigger free spins, the player needs to collect 3, 4 or 5 Lady of Avalon symbols, which also acts as a substitution symbol to help complete winning combinations in the base game. When the round is activated, the player gets 10 freebies. One of the special symbols gets elected randomly to be the expanding symbol during free spins. An additional set of 10 freebies can be awarded if another 3, 4 or 5 Lady of Avalon icons appear during the feature. The expanding symbol, whichever it is, can cover entire reels and even the entire screen. If Merlin appears on all positions, a maximum payout of 5000 times the stake will be paid.

The Lady of Avalon Slot is not exactly a feature-rich video slot, but it does include favourable elements and functions. Wild and Scatter symbols, as well as Free Spins, are important for the player in terms of boosting the balance on a regular basis. Nevertheless, one should keep in mind that the game is highly volatile. The RTP oscillates according to the size of the wager - if you bet lower than 2 credits, the game will deliver a 94.09% return in the long run, but if you up the stakes, the return rises up to 96.08%- 96.22%. It’s worth a spin if you love fantasy adventure and high volatility.
