Avalon X Demo (Elk Studios) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Mythology is a fantastic source for online slot and game developers to draw inspiration from, and not for the first time, provider Elk Studios is visiting the legend of King Arthur in their Avalon X slot, a 6-reel game featuring the cluster pays engine, cascading reels, mega blocks, free spins, and wins that can reach up to a maximum of 10,000x the bet.

Theme & Design

Legend has it that Avalon was sacred to King Arthur, not just because it is where magic took place and his famous Excalibur sword was created, but also because it was where he was supposedly taken to recover from severe injuries sustained during the battle of Camlann. Whether that is true or sheer myth we may never know, but it’s the location of Elk Studios Avalon X slot, and in fairness to the developer, they have done a good job in surrounding the location in mystery, with it looking like it once resembled something very special.

I did mention in the introduction that Elk has visited this genre in the past, and if you want to try out a different game with the same theme, then head over to our Avalon Gold demo slot and give it a try.

Avalon X Gameplay & Features

Elk Studios Avalon X is a 6-reel, 7-row game that operates on the cluster pays engine with an RTP of 94%. Players can choose to enter real money gameplay with bets ranging from a minimum of €0.20 up to a maximum of €100.

Like most Elk releases, Avalon X comes with an abundance of features, so let’s have a quick run-through and tell you what you can expect to see once you start the reels spinning.

First of all, this is a tumbling reels game, so winning symbols are removed from the reels, which then generate a wild symbol before new symbols fall down for extra chances to win. Then we have mega symbols which appear up to 4×4 in size, and mystery symbols that can reveal payout symbols, wilds, or one of the four Avalon features, which are Coin Win, Collect, Global Multiplier or Redrop.

Moving onto the main bonus round, we first have the standard version, triggered when 3 scatters land in view. During this round, mystery symbols are persistent until they are opened.

We then have an enhanced version of this bonus activated when a super bonus symbol appears in the standard bonus, or if the initial feature is triggered by one of the scatters being the super symbol. When this variation of the feature is in play, every spin guarantees a Holy Strike modifier will activate.

Bonus Buy

Players who wish to play with more risk can choose to use one of the enhanced bet or bonus buy options. These are:

• Bonus Hunt: Triple the chance to trigger the bonus – Costs 3x the base bet.
• Holy Strike: Guaranteed to trigger the Holy Strike feature – Costs 25x the base bet.
• Mystery Boxes: A spin with at least 5 mystery boxes guaranteed – Costs 50x the base bet.
• Standard Bonus Buy: Trigger the standard free spins – Costs 100x the bet.
• Super Free Spins: Trigger the super bonus – Costs 500x the bet.
