The Sword and the Grail Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction 

The Sword and the Grail is an exciting slot inspired by the legend of King Arthur. It is played on the traditional five reels with three rows and has 20 fixed paylines. As you are regaled with tales of old, there are some potentially lucrative prizes on offer if you reach the bonus round.

There are 11 symbols: four high-paying, five low-paying, a wild and a scatter. The high-paying symbols are King Arthur himself, Lady Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, and Merlin. The lower-paying symbols are the ten to ace playing cards.

The game’s wild is the Holy Grail symbol, the bejewelled golden chalice, which substitutes for any symbol except the scatter. The scatter symbol is Excalibur, the legendary sword, and it is this symbol that can trigger the free spins round.

For players who might consider playing this game for real money at an online casino at some point, it is definitely worth giving the free demo game a try here at Slots Temple to see whether it is for you.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack 

The Sword and the Grail’s legendary theme features King Arthur, Lady Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, and Merlin. Symbols such as the Holy Grail and Excalibur help to tell the story, transporting you back in time in this battle-centric retelling of history.

The graphics are very well done and the backdrop to the gameboard sets the scene nicely, featuring the interior of a medieval castle complete with roaring fires and tapestries emblazoned with coats of arms. A nice amount of animation brings the fires to life in addition to adding movement to the character symbols when they form winning combinations.

The soundtrack is very characteristic of the era. It is the sort of music you would expect to hear in a medieval movie. The audio can be turned off but doesn't overpower the game.

The Sword and the Grail RTP and variance

Overall The Sword and the Grail review: our verdict

The Sword and the Grail is an exciting and fun slot with free spins bonus. The medieval theme transports you back through the ages to the times of King Arthur. We enjoyed being in pursuit of the Holy Grail of prizes - the potential 10,000x maximum win - even though there is not much chance of finding it thanks to the game’s high variance.

The free spins round was made more enticing by the increasing multipliers, which added a fun dimension to the game; however, we would like to have seen something added to the base game.
