Introduction

GameBeat slots are a familiar and well-respected part of the iGaming landscape. The company is still a relatively new one but its commitment to invention and quality has won it many fans. Like all major game developers they do not limit themselves to any particular theme, although their game mechanics are recognisably similar across the portfolio. This free play demo draws on English legend and folklore, in a manner reminiscent of Yggdrasil’s Arthur's Fortune slot 

Throne of Camelot has a 5-reel, 3-column grid with 50 fixed paylines. The minimum bet value is 0.25 and the maximum is 50. On the reels there are 9 regular symbols: King Arthur, Lady Guinevere, the Knight, Morgan Le Fay and the five highest value playing cards in the deck. The wild is Arthur’s crown and the scatter is Camelot itself. There is also a money symbol which is a representation of the sun.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

We’re on a mossy cobbled road to Castle Camelot on a distant hill under blue skies. The grid is set in stone and decorated with roses. The symbols are impressively drawn, bright and striking, each one set in its own frame, the card symbols against bare stone walls. Golden threads show the winning lines and the soundtrack is fairly unobtrusive but with a nonetheless insistent rising cadence and an approximation of medieval music. All very respectable.

Throne of Camelot RTP and variance

Throne of Camelot bonus features

Free Games

If you land 3 or more scatters on the reels you will win 8 free spins with a special mystery symbol which is selected randomly before each spin. Scatter symbols pay in any position on the reels. Free spins are played at the same bet level as the base game round that triggered them.

Money Symbol

This acts as a bonus and appears on all reels. The prize values associated with the money symbol are random, between 1 and 50, multiplying the total bet. When 6 or more money symbols land they trigger the Golden Rush feature. The Major, Minor and Mini jackpots can appear as values on a money symbol and their multiplier values are:

Major = x500
Minor = x100
Mini = x20

When 15 money symbols land the Mega Jackpot is activated, which has a multiplier of x2000 the total bet.

Golden Rush

Money symbols stick in place and do not move until all spins are finished. All other symbols will spin as separate reels. When the money symbol drops out it sticks and stops spinning, and the remaining games meter is reset to 3.

Throne of Camelot review: our verdict

Anyone familiar with GameBeat’s output will not be surprised by what’s on offer here. It has the controls and mechanics of many of their games with bonus features that are close variants of other slots in their range. Having said that, it looks good and is none the worse for its familiarity. The RTP is OK and the payouts up to expectation. There’s no great invention here, but it’s a workmanlike creation.
