As with many slots created by WMS, the best feature of Lancelot is the Free Spins feature which is activated by landing 2 or more of the Lancelot and/or Guinevere wild symbols consecutively, starting from the left most reel. Two Lancelot and Guinevere symbols will give you 5 free spins with 3 symbols offering 10 free spins. Find four of the pair and 20 free spins await with a whopping 50 free games awarded if you're lucky to find five.
You can trigger more free spins in the same amounts for finding at least 2 of the Lancelot and Guinevere wilds during the bonus round. That's not all as every winning spin during the feature is subject to a 2x multiplier and subsequently doubled.
The best route to riches during the base game is via the Lancelot and Guinevere wilds which can appear as stacked (they can also appear stacked during the free spins round too).
The graphics are decent enough but not from the top drawer and the reels feel a little cluttered. The soundtrack in the base game is pretty generic and doesn't add to the Arthurian theme. Things do pick up a little with a more stirring musical offering during the bonus.
The symbols all relate to the tale of Lancelot and Guinevere and include crowns, flowers, rings and coins. Look out too for Camelot castle, the sword Excalibur, Merlin the magician and Gawain the Knight. The latter three are the biggest payers of the standard symbols.
There are plenty of slots that centre on the exploits of the Knights of the Round Table. Does Lancelot stand out in this crowded field? Not really. It's a perfectly serviceable offering. It just doesn't have much in the way of the wow factor. That said, the free spins round is a good one, complete with the 2x multiplier. It hits fairly regularly and re-triggers are certainly possible.
If you like slots based on the Arthurian legend then you'll want to give Lancelot a look. If the fantasy genre doesn't appeal, free spins aside, there are more impressive offerings to be found elsewhere such as Avalon II by Microgaming. Similarly, Black Knight II by WMS is superb but highly volatile.
