They’re joined by the sword-wielding warrior and Lady Guinevere who is the top paying standard symbol, awarding 1.25, 3 and 7.5 times your stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a line. Those payouts are also awarded by the wild. In fact, wilds are central to much of the action in Mighty Arthur.
Arthur Expanding Symbol feature - this symbol appears on reel 3 only. When it lands fully stacked, it expands and turns the adjacent reels (reel 2 and 4) wild too. That means you’ll get a giant 3x3 stacked wild for that spin.
Merlin Random Wilds feature - the Merlin wild can land on all 5 reels. When the wise old wizard lands fully stacked, he can conjure up between 2 and 6 extra wilds which will appear at random positions on the reels. A new payout is made with the extra wilds in place.
Mighty Arthur also comes with a Free Spins Bonus feature - this is triggered by landing the Bonus symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin. You’ll then receive 10 free spins. The Arthur Expanding Symbol and Merlin Random Wilds features can hit during the free spins meaning you can get wild reels and giant 3x3 wilds on every free spin. The only downside is that you can’t re-trigger any more freebies.
Quickspin has created an impressive all-rounder in Mighty Arthur. The visuals are excellent - the soundtrack sounds more appropriate for an Arabian-themed slot game than something set in the West Country though. The features aren’t bad either.
The Arthur Expanding Symbol and the Merlin Random Wilds offer plenty of potential. Combine those with wild extras with the free spins and the mythical king can live up to his name and deliver some mighty action – well, to the tune of 150 times your stake on each spin. If you like medieval themed games, Black Knight II from WMS is much more volatile and offers much bigger wins.
