Avalon Slots Review
Avalon is a classic among slots games and shows up in tournaments, so I had to check it out. Now, when I hear Avalon, I think Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mists of Avalon. Now that is a classic book that offers a fantastic take on the Arthurian legends from the point of view of the female characters. If you haven’t read it yet, go find it.
Alas, this slot game seems disappointing when compared against the tapestry of history this could have been set against. Ah, the symbols that might have been. And that aren’t. The slots developer must have under paid the graphics designer for this one because we’ve got the 10, J, K, Q, A symbols with an occasional crown thrown on in an attempt to make them seem regal. The Avalon and Lady of the Lake symbol offer a bit more artistic value done in mysterious gray and shining white. Avalon is the wild symbol and substitutes for other symbols. The Lady of the Lake is the Scatter symbol and three or more will win you some free spins. During the free spins, there is a gold treasure chest symbol that works as a substitute or wild symbol. Oh, there are a few other symbols: a gem, a crown, a goblet. The goblet should be the much searched for Holy Grail of legend, but there isn’t any focus given to it in this game.
Play is pretty basic. Spin the reels and hope to win. There aren’t any bonus features, other than a “gamble” feature where you can vote on the color or suit of a card. But nothing inside the game to boost your winnings. It doesn’t stand up against an iSlot or other interactive game. But it is a game you’ll see used frequently in tournaments where players don’t want to be distracted by the interactive games. I think I’ll leave this one for the tournament play and for my own play, choose something more appealing.
