Avalon II follows in the footsteps of the long-time player favourite Avalon Video Slot – this time around with even more features, characters and payout opportunities than before. Players can look forward to no less than 243 ways to win made possible by Scatter wins, Wild rewards and a mighty 8 Bonus games hidden across the slot’s 5 reels.
Avalon II (The Quest for the Grail) is a 5 reel, 243 pay line slot from Microgaming. It's also the sequel to their popular 2008 release 'Avalon'. Both games are centred around Arthurian legend (Avalon is a legendary island where the sword Excalibur was forged, and where King Arthur had some chillaxing time after being wounded in the Battle of Camlann). For this second game in the series Microgaming have upped the ante considerably with much improved graphics from the original, and a number of nice bonus games. All the symbols used in this game are associated with Arthurian legend, including the Holy Grail itself. Unfortunately, the 'Knights who say 'Ni!' do not make an appearance, but playing card values nine to ace do.
This slot is one of those easy-to-play games as there are 243 pay lines. You start your own quest for treasures by selecting your coin size from 0.01 to 0.20, and the number of coins you want to gamble for each spin from one to five. Your bet-per-line is automatically multiplied by thirty as payment for all 243 lines. The object of the slot is of course to land at least three identical symbols on a pay line, and the more the merrier! Once you're ready to go questing, hit the 'Spin' button.
Payout & bonus rounds
Payouts commence at 4x your coin size for three nines and tens. The jackpot is 2,000x your bet-per-line for five 'Avalon II' symbols.
The Avalon II symbol also acts as the wild symbol in this game. It substitutes for all symbols aside from the Holy Grail and Lady of the Lake symbols, and comes stacked in threes.
