Monty Python's Spamalot is packed full of features which appear as 4 acts in a play. To trigger them, you'll need to hit the Bonus Symbol on reels 1 and 5. The first act is the Storm The Castle Bonus feature - here you have to position the not so heroic knights on 1 of 6 targets below a castle. A flying cow will land on one of the targets - if they avoid the knights you'll be awarded a cash prize. You keep on placing the knights until they get squished.
Act two is the None Shall Pass Bonus feature which is triggered the second time you find the Bonus symbol on reels 1 and 5. Here you have to get past the Black Knight with cash and multipliers at stake. You have four attempts to land a blow on the knight with a sword. If you do, you'll win a cash prize. If you miss, the multiplier, which starts at 5x, will drop by one. After the 4 attempts, you'll be awarded the cash prizes won with the multiplier applied.
Next comes the Knights Who Say Ni Bonus feature - it's a classic pick me round. You'll be presented with 3 bits of shrubbery - pick 1 to reveal a cash prize. If you're not satisfied, you can change it and pick one of the others. You'll be awarded the cash from the final choice. Up to 3 rounds are possible here with some decent prizes on offer.
The final act is the Killer Rabbit Bonus feature where your knights have to cross a path guarded by killer rabbits. Throw a grenade at 1 of 5 rocks shown. If the bomb fails to kill the killer rabbit, it will chomp one of your 6 knights. If the grenade kills the bunny, all of your surviving knights will make it across with a cash bonus awarded for each.
Monty Python's Spamalot also comes with a Free Spins feature which is triggered when 3 or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels - you'll be awarded 10 free spins. After every spin, a pooping bird will turn up to 5 symbols wild creating some nice opportunities. Look out too for the Jackpot Game symbol. Every time one appears during the free spins, it will be added to a meter at the top of the reels. Find 5 of them and you'll be able to take a shot at the big one.
The Holy Grail Jackpot Game features 6 levels - picks start at the bottom row. Find a cash prize and you'll have a chance to reach the next level. Make it to the top level and you'll be offered a final choice of two. Choose wisely and you can win 1 of 2 progressive jackpots!
The slot version of Spamalot features much of the surreal humour that made the Monty Python team such huge stars. The imagery and songs on show will be familiar to anyone who has seen the TV show or movies. It's not just fans who will enjoy Monty Python's Spamalot though - the range of features is excellent and the free spins feature with the extra wilds in particular can be very lucrative.
The action bowls along at a decent pace and if you get lucky on the big progressive jackpot, you'll have plenty of reasons to look on the bright side of life! However, on the negative side the features do play out a little slowly which can get a little tedious if you play it constantly as well as the wins in most bonus features being quite small. If you like progressive jackpot slots, Mega Fortune by Net Entertainment or any of the Marvel slots by Playtech, such as The Avengers, are better games in my opinion.
