Excalibur Unleashed Slot Review

Excalibur Unleashed: Slot Overview

Excalibur Unleashed drops the usual knights and wizards and swaps them for a mouse and an owl chasing King Arthur’s sword in a calm forest glade. The 5-reel game grid uses a 3-5-5-5-3 configuration with 20 fixed paylines, and wins pay both ways, from left to right and right to left. Full reel sword wilds on reels 1 and 5 are the stars, turning quiet spins into sharp swings.

How to Play Excalibur Unleashed Slot

Playing Excalibur Unleashed is straightforward. I set my stake between £0.20 and £100 per spin by tweaking coins per line from 1 to 10 and coin values from £0.01 to £0.50 on the 20 non-adjustable paylines. Then it is just Spin or Autoplay for up to 1000 rounds, with Turbo and Quickspin if I want faster action. Wins land with 3+ matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from either side.

Symbols and Payouts in Excalibur Unleashed

All symbols in Excalibur Unleashed have that medieval yet expensive touch. The low pays are 10, J, Q, K and A, paying from 0.25x up to 3x the total bet for five of a kind. Premiums are the potion bottle, glowing orb, crown, mouse and bird, and these pay roughly 0.6x to 25x the stake for five on a line, which feels decent when both-way lines get going.

The Wild logo is the only special symbol and it pulls double duty. It lands only on reels 1 and 5, substitutes for all regular symbols, and also acts as the trigger for the free spins when both ends hit together. Because wins count from leftmost and rightmost reels, lining up the mouse or bird either way with a stacked wild can turn a fairly average spin into something that actually matters.

Excalibur Unleashed Bonus Features

The whole game in Excalibur Unleashed revolves around the expanding Wild sword. When a Wild lands on reel 1 or 5, it grows to cover the entire reel. At the same time it receives a random multiplier of x2 to x10, x12, x15, or x20. That multiplier applies to every winning combination that passes through it, and if both Wilds take part in the same win, their values are added together first.

Hit Wilds on reels 1 and 5 in the same spin and you trigger the bonus round with 6 free spins. Those Wilds expand, stick to the reels, and the multipliers from the triggering spin carry over. Whenever a sticky Wild is part of a winning combo, its multiplier increases by +1 for the rest of the feature. If both Wilds feature in a win, you also get +1 extra free spin on top.

Where the bonus buy is allowed, you can purchase free spins in Excalibur Unleashed for 85x your current bet. That jump-starts the feature with expanded Wilds already on reels 1 and 5, carrying random multipliers between x1 and x20. I found buying the feature a bit of a punt: some rounds crawl with low starting multipliers and dead spins, while others spike hard when both swords line up with premiums early on.

Excalibur Unleashed RTP & Volatility

On paper Excalibur Unleashed sits at 96.05% RTP in the main game, or 96.02% when you buy the free spins, but there are lower settings of 95.06% and 94.01%, so adjustable RTP ranges are a factor. The slot is highly volatile, rated 5 out of 5, with a max win of 5,000x the bet and a hit rate that feels around one in three spins, while the bonus seems to land roughly every 180 spins.

Excalibur Unleashed: Slot Verdict

There are plenty of Arthur-themed slots that take themselves very seriously, and Excalibur Unleashed goes the other way with its cute mouse and wise bird setup. The animal angle might look a bit silly, but the maths is no joke. Full reel multiplier wilds on both ends of a pay-both-ways grid is a solid idea, even if the rest of the gameplay feels quite straightforward and light on extra twists.

From my sessions, Excalibur Unleashed feels volatile AF, swinging from strings of dead spins to sudden spikes when both Wilds land with chunky multipliers. The 5,000x potential backed by sticky increasing multipliers keeps me interested, yet the game sometimes comes across as missing a little x-factor. For me it works best as a high-risk, hit-and-run slot: drop the stake, hunt a few bonuses, and walk away once the sword finally behaves.
