Excalibur Slot Overview

Casinos and castles might not seem to have much in common, but they can both house King Arthur and associated mythology. Turn Camelot into 5 reels, with 20 paylines to try and find winning symbols, and make the titular Excalibur the wild, with its own win multiplier. It’s not the only multiplier in the Excalibur bonus features thanks to the free spins round. Like in all slots, wins aren’t guaranteed, so don’t be afraid to take a timeout.

Arthur’s Sword

Excalibur, sometimes amalgamated with the equally famous Sword in the Stone, is renowned as the sword of King Arthur, Britain’s most legendary king. It came from the Lady of the Lake after the Sword in the Stone was broken, and was returned to her after his death. When you see its name in the title of a video slot, you can take a pretty good guess at the theme. The blade itself is the wild symbol, glowing either green or gold with magic, but other images from Arthurian legend make an appearance too, on reels decorated with Medieval scrollwork.

The Legend of the King

King Arthur himself, in ermine-trimmed red cloak and golden crown, heads not just Ancient Britain, but also the paytable in the Excalibur slot. He is joined by wizardly Merlin, casting a spell even as you watch, a romancing knight and lady who are most likely Lancelot and Guinevere, a mystical Lady of the Lake, a sorcerous woman who might just be Morgan le Fay, and the imposing Black Knight. More generic card symbols appear on shields to tie them to theme, whilst the scatter symbol is a golden chalice that, in context, must be the Holy Grail.

Excalibur RTP & Variance

The RTP of the Excalibur slot is 95.08%. The variance is medium.

How to Play Excalibur

This is the kind of quest where the outcome is unpredictable:

1. If King Arthur was a sensible king, he never emptied his treasury on capricious games like online slots. Follow his lead and set a yourself budget before making any wager.


2. That wager has to be at least 20p. There are bet level, bet line, max bet and coin value buttons in a row under the reels, 2 each side of the spin button.


3. Everything else you need is in the bottom left corner. That includes settings, mute and help. Work your way through them, reading and adjusting as necessary.


4. Fully informed and with your settings as you like them, go back to the central spin button and give it a press.
5. Watch the reels spin, take a moment to either appreciate or be disappointed in the result, then decide whether to go again.


6. If you feel yourself chasing losses, maybe activate self-exclusion.


7. Stay in control, stick to your limits.

How to Win at Excalibur

Most modern slots have 5 reels, and Excalibur follows that format. It also goes traditional in its win mechanics, with 20 fixed paylines. We say slots are about finding matching symbols, usually 3 or more, but if they’re not travelling across adjacent reels and positions, starting on the left, on a route marked by one of those paylines, they won’t pay. Your other aim is to use the scatter symbol to trigger free spins.

Excalibur Top Win

• Like most slots where they appear, the 5 card symbols are low value, whilst the 6 themed symbols pay more.


• This starts with the 10, as the very lowest rung on the paytable. It’s one of 2 icons that forms winning symbols with just 2 matches, but with a full combination of 5 it’s worth 125.


• Of the regular symbols, King Arthur himself is fittingly top, going up to 750. He’s also the other symbol that pays from just 2.


• As well as triggering free spins, the scatter symbol has a 500 top payout.


• Payout potential goes up when the wild is involved, both because it’s worth up to 10,000 in its own right (and again pays from 2), but also because of the multipliers.


• A regular wild can double the max win with a x2 multiplier when it acts as a substitute. For the golden wild, this multiplier is x4.

Excalibur Bonuses

Your total win in the Excalibur slot will depend not just on winning symbols and wild multipliers in the base game, but also on if you find an additional win multiplier by triggering free spins. This is done in the traditional way, using the scatter symbol. What triggering the bonus doesn’t do is free you from having to follow the rules of responsible gambling.

Free Spins

This is fairly straightforward, using a format utilised in many slots:

• 3 scatters = 10 free spins.


• 4 scatters = 20 free spins.


• 5 scatters = 30 free spins.

What’s most notable here is that every win during the bonus round comes with a x3 win multiplier applied. That’s unless they’re additional spins outside of that initial award.

Excalibur Overview - Summary

It doesn’t have the sharpest graphics, or the greatest depths of bonuses, but we hope our Excalibur slot overview has explained how this game does have solid mechanics, whether or not you trigger free spins. Having 2 types of wild rather than the traditional 1 is notable, but it’s the extra multipliers everywhere that probably catch the eye the most. Well, and the use of Arthurian mythology, for those who are fans. See how it compares to other NetEnt slots.
