The design here is rather basic. Set against a backdrop of Avalon island at night, the blue reels feature the usual A to 10 royal values as well as 4 higher paying standard symbols that relate to the Arthurian theme. In order of value are the black horse and book of spells which both offer awards of up to 75 times your stake per payline. Next comes the castle which pays up to 200 times your stake. Top of the standard payers is the wizard. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these in combination and you’ll bank a payout of 1, 10, 100 or 500 times your stake.
The Lady of Avalon herself serves a dual role. She is the game’s wild and substitutes for all of the standard symbols. She is also the scatter. Land 3, 4 or 5 of them on the same spin and you’ll pocket an award of 2, 20 or 200 times your stake as well as triggering the Free Spins Bonus feature.
You’ll then go on to play 10 free spins. Before these begin, 1 symbol is chosen at random. If a special symbol lands on a reel and creates a win, all other instances of this symbol will expand to fill the reel. This means you can create some monster clusters of matching symbols is the special symbol falls nicely. Re-triggers are possible here too. Landing 3 or more of the Lady of Avalon on the same spin will add another 10 free games to your total.
Lady of Avalon is a very straightforward slot game. That’s true of the rather basic visuals and the simple gameplay. The Free Spins Bonus feature has the potential to be a good one though, especially if you manage to land 1 of the higher payers as the special expanding symbol. It offers wins of 5,000 times your stake on every free spin and is highly volatile.
There’s nothing very flashy about Lady of Avalon. It all works pretty well though. If you like the Arthurian legend theme, then an audience with the Lady of Avalon is recommended. The game is basically the same as Novomatic’s Book of Ra Deluxe in terms of gameplay – I would rather play Book of Dead by Play ‘N Go which is the same but has much better graphics/animations.
