Xcalibur – an online slot from Microgaming

It’s technically an offline slot from Magic dreams but you’ll now find it online at Microgaming Casinos.

Mythical Dragons, powerful Wizards and the legendary Sword, this is Xcalibur! Enter the palace for the KEY BONUS round where great riches can be yours if the mighty mage merlin pays you a visit then you’ll get magical rewards, free spins to enhance your wealth. The great sword Xcalibur magically morphs into any symbol to reward you even further.

OK so it seems like whoever wrote this has dropped an E. No no no not because they are seeing wizards and dragons, they’d need to drop acid for that. It’s Excalibur you see? Oh forget it let’s look at the game. You may well be familiar with this one from your local offline casino. Ours has it in a shiny new cabinet in prime position so it’s well loved there.

It’s a 50-line slot with expanding wild symbols, free spins and an open-the-box (in this case open the door) style bonus game. I’ve played this offline myself and it’s a nice game, the variance (number of spins per win)  feels low-middle to me so you get a lot of playtime for your money, the downside of that of course is that it lacks those massive wins you get from slots that don’t pay out very often. Graphically it’s very nice and the maths behind it seem very fair. This is going to be a very high 90s % payout machine online so it feels even better when you play it from your own front room.

Bonus games in Xcalibur

There’s a free spins bonus game which is activated when three or more scatters appear (Merlin is the scatter). You’re rewarded with 12 free spins with  a 2x multiplier. There’s also a keys bonus game which kicks in when three key symbols appear. These can show up anywhere on reels 2, 3 or 4.

This is a standard pick a box bonus game .8 locked doors will appear, you choose one after another to reveal prizes behind each door between 1 to 10x your bet. The bonus round ends when you choose a door which has “collect” behind it.

Paytable of Xcalibur

As it’s a low-medium variance game there aren’t many massive payout symbols. It is fun though and it does keep you playing. The chance of a few 50x bet wins is always present.

It’s a game I’ll be popping back to quite often. It’s not going to keep me playing for hours like say Thunderstruck 2 or Battlestar Galactica can but it’s going to hook a lot of you I’m sure.
