Thunderkick released Sword of Arthur on June 12 2024. The video slot has a medieval theme about King Arthur and the Sword in a stone. 

This review will teach you about the game setup and bonus features.

Game setup

When you start the game, you will notice 5 reels and 3 rows which allow you to land winning combinations on 10 paylines. The default RTP is 94.34%.

The other RTP you will come across is 87.15%.

Once you place a minimum bet of €0.10 or a maximum bet of €100, you get the chance to land the maximum win of 10000x. The chance to land winning combinations is played on a high volatility. 

Winning combinations are made up of low-paying symbols, mid-paying symbols, high-paying symbols, wilds and scatters. The lows are 10 to A card ranks, shields, armour and helmet are mids and Arthur is the high. 

The scatter/wild Sword symbol can unlock the bonus round. Wilds replace all regular paying symbols. 

Bonus features

You will notice that with the bonus features, the traditional book symbol is replaced by the Sword symbol. Additionally, the Sword symbol plays two roles, wild and scatter. 

The wild substitutes all symbols in the base game and can also generate paylines and scatter wins. 

Bonus game

Landing 3 or more Sword symbols rewards you with 3, 4 or 5 Free Spins respectively. A random symbol except the Sword symbol can become an expanding symbol which covers the whole reel if it's part of a winning combination. 

The expanding symbol has a 1x multiplier at the start and is in an area beside the reels. Only one symbol per reel expands per spin. 

Power reset

Whenever an expanding symbol is part of a winning combination, the multiplier increases by 1. Additionally, the Free Spins reset to the initial number. 

The multiplier only applies to the expanding symbol when it's part of a winning combination. 

Bonus buy

Cut to the chase and unlock the bonus game with Bonus Buy. There are three options which are:

• 125x the bet for the regular bonus game

• 200x the bet for 5 Free Spins

• 500x the bet guarantees Arthur in the bonus game. 

Verdict 

Sword of Arthur has limited bonus features, However, it provides an interesting approach to slots with the Sword symbol doubling as a scatter and wild. Additionally, the Bonus Buy feature gives players three options to access the bonus game.
