Lancelot Slot Machine

This Lancelot slot machine game is a classic WMS G+ game and it is a really good example. It is very similar in format to games like Rome v Egypt and in some ways, it is also like the famous Amazon Queen game. Coming from the workshop of WMS Gaming, Lancelot slot revives the legend of King Arthur and Camelot.

Featuring a dashing design, the WMS medieval slot is part of the WMS G+ 5x4 slots series. It is inspired by the classic tale of the Knights of the Round Table; Lancelot was, according to legends, one of the highly regarded knights in King Arthur’s company.

The backdrop shows a lovely medieval landscape and the reels grid is placed against it, covering almost the entire screen. The designers wanted to emphasise the visuals, clearly, so they made the reels and symbols big enough to retain the player’s attention at all times. In case you’re expecting character symbols and a touch of magic on screen, you’re right to do so. Upon inspecting the paytable we can only conclude that all of the symbols are related to the theme. Low paying icons are different items, from acorns and flowers to a knight’s shield and helmet. There are also symbols of rings and a crown, as well as the Excalibur, Camelot, Merlin, and a knight in full armour whose identity is unknown. Is it King Arthur himself? We can’t say for sure.

The most striking icons on the reels are definitely the two Wilds - Lancelot and Guinevere. That leads us to believe that the story actually focuses on the supposed romance between Lancelot and Guinevere, and not on the knight’s bravery. Whichever the case, the game looks great and so do the tall, stacked Wilds showing Sir Lancelot and Lady Guinevere. The two will replace any of the other symbols and they will improve the possibilities of forming winning combos considerably,

In absence of Scatters, the Wilds will double as special bonus symbols responsible for triggering the free spins round. Free Spins are the only bonus feature in the game and there are multiple options and multiple combinations of spins to be won, depending on how many symbols it takes to trigger the feature. When you line up two Wilds/Scatters anywhere on the reels starting from the leftmost side you’ll receive a reward of 5 free spins. Score three symbols and the number goes up to 10 freebies. With four symbols you’ll receive 20 free spins, and you’ll max out the free spins at 50 when you land five of the special symbols.

All wins are doubled during Free Spins, and the round can be re-triggered. According to player reports, re-triggers happen fairly regularly. Since there is no other special feature, the Free Spins are well conceived and able to bring enough dynamics into play. Lancelot has a top payout of 2,500 coins and a return to player rate of 96%.

The fact that you can play with as much as one win line at the lowest stakes and still rely on the Wild/Scatter to initiate free spins makes Lancelot slot attractive for low rollers and beginners. Of course, all legend enthusiasts are welcome to play and try to have Lancelot fighting on their side for big wins.
