Arthur Pendragon Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Will you enjoy the ‘knight’ of your life when you play this 40 payline, five-reel slot from IGT? Join King Arthur on a journey of discovery where you may uncover the holy grail of free spins, wilds, and stacked icons.

Arthur Pendragon Theme and Storyline

This slot is based on King Arthur, the legendary English king who was famed for his Knights of the Round Table and his associations with the magical wizard Merlin. This slot conveys the mysticism of these tales of the 5th and 6th centuries well, with a sun-lit Camelot Castle forming the backdrop to the game and a regal-looking King Arthur overseeing the reels (and presumably keeping them safe from Saxon invaders). There is stirring orchestral music accompanying the spinning in this historical and mythology themed slot and, along with the usual playing card symbols, the reels are filled with swords and shields, and Arthurian characters such as knights and Queen Guinevere. If you’re a fan of historical myths and legends and their associated online games then you may also like to take a look at the Arthur's Fortune slot.

Arthur Pendragon Bonus Features

If you’re on the hunt for the holy grail then you might expect to uncover a few treasures and this slot shouldn’t disappoint. The first bonus centres on the wild grail symbols which leave golden frames in their wake. On spin ten, collected wilds and these gold frames are added together to trigger a win.

You can also trigger a free spins bonus, which will offer you a choice of rounds. Let’s take a look at some of these features in more detail.

Holy Grail Wild

This symbol can land on any of the slot’s five reels and can replace all standard symbols to help you to create winning combinations. The wild is also central to this game’s interesting Wild Stays Charges Then Pays feature.

Wild Stays Charges Then Pays

In this slot, base game spins play in ten-game segments. At the end of these ten spins, the game will calculate any wins amassed by the wilds and associated golden frames on the reels. The number of spins played is shown on a meter on the screen and resets after the tenth spin.

Merlin Bonus Symbols

Land at least three of the magical Merlin symbols and you will trigger the free spins bonus round. You will then be given a choice of the following depending on how many of the Bonus symbols you land:

Three Bonus Symbols
Choose from:
15 free spins plus five random wilds
Ten free spins plus seven random wilds
Five free spins plus ten random wilds

Four Bonus Symbols
Choose from:
30 free spins plus five random wilds
20 free spins plus seven random wilds
Ten free spins plus ten random wilds

Five Bonus Symbols

45 free spins plus five random wilds
30 free spins plus seven random wilds
15 free spins plus ten random wilds

You can land further Bonus symbols during the free games to retrigger the bonus round. You can do this as many as four times. This means that it is possible to win a massive 225 free spins. 

Arthur Pendragon Review

This is a fun game with a popular theme and an above-average theoretical return to player ratio. The medium variance will be attractive to many players, as will the wide betting range. The maximum win is a hugely disappointing 200x the total stake, however, although you may decide that the huge number of free spins on offer make up for this deficiency. You may also appreciate the entertainment value provided by the superb design and decent package of bonus features.
