Slot Details
Towering Pays: Excalibur takes us to the medieval ages on a grid with 5 reels and 3 horizontal rows with 15 paylines to create winning combos. The RTP is disappointingly below the market average at 95.70% and has a medium to high volatility rating. Players can achieve wins frequently with such numbers even though they are averagely rewarding.
The layout of the reels changes to 5 by 8 during the Camelot feature resulting in more wins. A lucky winner stands to walk away with a max win of 6,500x the bet.
How to Play
With a bet from as low as $0.25 capped at $25, you can start spinning away for a chance to win the max prize. Towering Pays: Excalibur is supported on all mobile devices and does even better on laptops and tablets thanks to the HTML 5 technology used in the designing. A win is achieved once a match with 3 similar symbols is created on any adjacent reels.
The slot has 4 card suits that are the least paying, a wolf, horse, merlin, and Guinevere, mid-paying, Excalibur, shields, and king Arthur wilds which are the most rewarding.
Theme, Design & Music
The slot is set in the middle-ages with an Arthurian franchise. The gameplay revolves around Camelot and King Arthur, as you see from the symbols and features. The visuals are decent, but it feels like a step back from the previous slot released by the developer. The audiovisual presentation is nonetheless impressive.
Special Features
Free Spins
There are different free spins activated by landing 3 or more scatters. They all start you off with 6 rounds and include;
- Camelot- gives a chance at prize multipliers and Excalibur symbols that land on the first 4 reels.
- Arthur- Excalibur lands on the 4th reel only providing a chance to win the max prize.
- Merlin- guarantees a prize multiplier after wins.
- Lancelot- carries a random prize multiplier for winning rounds.
Hold And Spin Feature
Mystery symbols may reveal shield symbols that activate this feature for at least 6 on the reels. Any extra shield expands the grid by 1, increasing the rows to a max of 8. You will receive 3 respins and random prizes plus a chance of walking away with up to 1,000x jackpot.
Towering Pays Excalibur: Our Verdict
The slot is generally decent, with a mid-high variance rating and a slightly below-average RTP. The reel changing feature is quite impressive, and you can pay more to activate the quest bet for the hold & spin feature. The piling of features may be enjoyable for players that enjoy slots that demand a lot of comprehension but may be a turn-off for others. With that said, it’s still a slot worth checking out.
