King Arthur and his wizard companion Merlin have been celebrated figures for centuries – it is only fitting that Quickspin should celebrate them in their newest slot. Mighty Arthur, like the legends that inspire it, is packed with surprising elements sure to keep players engaged: these include stacked wilds, free spins, and extra wild symbols courtesy of Merlin’s sorcery. An excellent theoretical return-to-player of 96.94% won’t hurt, either.
Theme
This epic slot is set in an enchanted forest, with glowing green colors everywhere, with two stacked wild symbols available on every spin. The Arthur expanding wild appears only on the middle reel: three columns tall, it expands to fill the middle three reels in both base and bonus play, guaranteeing four- or five-of-a-kind wins. Merlin, the other expanding wild, appears on all five reels and sweeps magical energy across the screen, adding between two and six extra wild symbols to the mix. Other gaming symbols include the purple wild icons; the crown bonus tile, which appears only on reels one, three, and five to trigger free spins; smiling Arthur, brandishing his fearsome sword, Excalibur; the lady Guinevere; helmets; books; cups; and the playing card values ace through ten. Epic music reminds players of the massive scale of the game’s theme.
Betting Options and Functions
Quickspin has built slots of all kinds, but can be consistently relied upon for smooth play, simple design, and games in which all the fine points are well-made. Mighty Arthur is no exception. With 20 fixed paylines, this title allows players to set their preferred per-spin bet simply from 0.20-100.00 times the betting currency. Fast-forward is available for players who prefer a quicker pace of play, while autoplay can be engaged for up to 1000 spins of the reels, with optional single win limits and total loss limits that can be set by the player. As noted, the overall RTP ratio is a well above-average 96.94%.
Features
As is usually the case in modern slots, a free spin feature is the key to this game’s biggest payouts. The appearance of three bonus symbols parts the reels to reveal the sword in the stone, a key element of Arthurian legend, and awards ten free spins. These resemble base play but for one important feature. Here, whenever a stacked Merlin or Arthur super symbol appears in partial place on the reels, that icon is ‘nudged’ onto the entire reel, where its bonus effect is felt. Since these stacked symbols often trigger big wins, this can lead to extremely profitable bonus play. It should be noted that this same ‘nudge’ feature can, and sometimes does, occur in base play; it’s just that in bonus play, stacked symbols fall into place at every single opportunity.
Our Take
Quickspin has aimed high and scored a big hit with Mighty Arthur. This slot has it all: solid fundamentals, beautiful base play, bonus features to spare, excellent animations, and to top it all off, an RTP that stands well above the competition. This game may have some of the staying power of the ancient stories that inspired it.
