Excalibur | Slot Game Review

Excalibur is a 5-reel, 3-row NetEnt slot themed around Arthurian legend — Merlin, King Arthur and the Holy Grail — playing on 20 fixed paylines with two separate wild symbols and a scaling free spins round.

Release Year 2012

Excalibur carries two wilds: a regular sword-hilt wild that substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and doubles any winning combination it completes, and a rarer Golden Wild that does the same but at a 4× multiplier. The Holy Grail scatter triggers free spins on landing three or more — three award 10 spins, four award 20, and five award 30 — with every win during the round subject to a 3× multiplier on top of whatever the wilds themselves contribute. That layered multiplier stacking (wild bonus plus a flat free-spins multiplier) is what pushes Excalibur’s ceiling up to 1,800× bet despite its fairly conventional 20-payline structure.

Pros

  • Two separate wild types (2× and 4×) add layered multiplier value to line wins
  • Free spins scale from 10 to 30 spins depending on how many scatters land
  • Flat 3× multiplier applies to every win during the bonus round
  • 1,800× max win gives solid upside for a 2012-era title

Cons

  • 95.08% RTP trails slightly behind other NetEnt titles from the era
  • 20 fixed paylines are fairly conventional next to ways-based or cluster slots
  • No cascading or expanding-wild mechanics outside the free spins
