To those familiar with the legend of King Arthur, Avalon is more than mystic. It is sacred as the isle where the Excalibur was forged and where King Arthur recuperated from war wounds. Microgaming brought this legend to the reels many years ago with the video slot Avalon. More recently Microgaming released a sequel Avalon II. Despite the audio visual and gaming superiority of the new game, the popularity of Avalon did not diminish. So Microgaming released Avalon in HD quality and contemporary functionality but the same gaming features. This article reviews Avalon and Avalon II.

Avalon has two symbols directly related to the legend. One of them is the Isle of Avalon. It is the wild symbol and it awards the highest line payout as well. The other thematic symbol is the Lady of the Lake with Excalibur. This symbol awards scatter payouts and triggers 12 free spins with up to 7x multiplier. During the free spins the chest symbol becomes an additional wild. The free spins can be retriggered. The other symbols are crown, emblem, gem stone and chalice. Playing card icons are also used. Avalon features the Microgaming gamble game. You can activate up to 20 paylines with a maximum total bet of $400.

Avalon II is a more complex game and expands on the legend of King Arthur with more characters and more events. Merlin, King Arthur, Guinevere, Morgan Le Fay and others join in culminating with the quest to retrieve the Holy Grail. The visual appeal is stronger with 3D graphics. The Avalon II logo is an expanding wild symbol. Three or more grail symbols trigger the Grail Bonus. There are eight different exciting games that are played in sequence each time the feature is triggered. The benefits in the bonus games include bet multipliers and free spins offered in interesting and innovative ways. In the base game Merlin can make a random appearance and enhance your win with a magical multiplier of up to 4x. If that spin has not given you any payout, then Merlin can give you a cash award of up to 20x your total bet. Avalon II is a 243 ways to win slot game. The total bet is 30 times the line bet with a maximum of $30.

Both the Avalon slot games are live at all Microgaming powered online casinos such as Royal Vegas, Spin Palace and Jackpot City.
