Xcalibur Slot Machine
Have you got what it takes to wield the power of Xcalibur? You can find out by spinning this 5-reel, 50-payline slot machine by WorldMatch software, featuring an epic medieval theme that takes after the Arthurian legend of the sword in the stone.
As such, there is plenty of magical secrets too unlock as players spin the reels, with potentially rewarding bonus elements such as expanded wilds, free spins and a special bonus game with random prizes. All in all, spinners can win a jackpot line multiplier worth 1,000x.
An Age Old Legend
The story of King Arthur is one of the most famous legends in British folklore, telling the tale of a fearless king who led the British Isles in defence against Saxon invaders. The myths and legends have been told in many different forms over the years, from romantic tales to epic poetry and film adaptations. The Arthurian legend was even spoofed by John Cleese and co in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
This time round, the legend of Arthur and the sword in the stone is told through this 5-reel video slot machine by WorldMatch software. As such, the reels include some of the staple characters from the medieval tale, such as the wise magician Merlin, the beautiful Queen Guinevere and the heroic King Arthur himself.
Other symbols used in the game include some of the regalia and weaponry associated with the middle ages, with shields, swords and helmets. There is even a legendary dragon to add a bit of peril to the spinning narrative.
Traditional Aesthetic
From a visual perspective, Xcalibur is a fairly normal-looking slot machine with two-dimensional illustrations used to depict the various character and objects on the reels. It may not be as stunning as some games out there with innovative 3D graphics, but the reels are still perfectly pleasant to look at with some simple animations to ensure that punters are entertained while they spin for the chance to win.
Put Your Bets to the Sword
With 50 paylines available to play with, there is every chance that a spin could result in a win. However, players who want to limit their losses can opt to play with a lower quantity of lines with options such as 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50. There are 7 “Bet Levels” too, with bets per line that range from as little as 0.01 credits to as much as 1.00 credit. With your bets in place and the reels in motion, players can hope to find any of the following line bet multipliers whenever three or more matching symbols appear on an active payline.
Bonus Fit for a King
Like most modern video slots, this medieval themed effort by WorldMatch boasts some exciting bonus features which promise to boost the winning chances of every player. One of those icons is a special wild symbol which is depicted by an image of the glowing sword Excalibur – the very same sword which Arthur Pendragon removed from the stone to prove his worth as the king of Britain. This wild symbol takes up three vertical reel positions and it will help punters to fill in the gaps for winning formations, meaning that there is every chance that it could trigger multiple paylines at once.
Another symbol with some special powers is the Merlin icon, a magic symbol which acts as a scatter to award total bet multipliers worth 3x, 20x and 100x whenever three, four or five appear in any position. What's more, three or more scatters will trigger a round of 12 free games with all wins doubled in value. Punters can also unlock some potentially lucrative extra gameplay action by finding three bonus keys symbols. This will initiate a pick-em style side game in which players must unlock various doors to be in with a chance to win random prizes.
Spins from a Different Era
The medieval theme is always sure to kindle the passion of spinners with an interest in magical legends and romantic tales of heroes. Xcalibur is bound to do just that with its characters from the middle ages with a magical twist, including wizardly magicians and fierce dragons. Admittedly, the WorldMatch slot machine is far from being the most magical in terms of design, but the game promises plenty of winning spins with 50 paylines, not to mention free spins, extended wilds and a special bonus game.
