Avalon Details Page

Software (9)

One of the reasons Avalon is a great game is because the software contains so many options that it has plenty of ways for the player to really enhance his experience. One of the main components of the software, which may not appear up there on the screen, is the safety and security it provides for the player. And the options that are available, including sound controls, Autoplay, Quick Spin, game stats and the like, are right at the player's fingertips.

Easy to Understand (8)

Things are relatively easy to understand, as they usually are in a slots game. Of course, it may take a little preparation to understand how the scatter and wild symbols work in combinations, and how the Free Spins Game works. But the good thing about the Microgaming brand - and believe me, something that is not found in all brands - is the ability to pull up the kind of help files that can guide you through everything imaginable.

Graphics & Sounds (9)

What this game really has in its favor is that the graphics stand out very boldly, so there is no mistaking what they are. And each of the paylines is clearly designated. This is a colorful game, in a bright, vivid setting, and it has nice music that goes along with it. Of course, you can shut the sounds off if you like.

Theme and Concept (8)

It's regal, to be sure. Avalon was known as the "Isle of the Blessed," but its literal translation is more like the "isle of apples." Okay, we don't see any apples among our symbols, but that's nitpicking. The theme isn't the strongest thing this game has going for it, and it isn't the strongest in the Microgaming family of slots, but it works just fine.

Game Features (9)

The Free Spins Bonus Game is excellent, but the strongest game feature, from the player's standpoint, is the Gamble Bonus Game, in which you can instantly double or quadruple your winnings by guessing either the color or suit of a face-down card (it is the player's option). This is a non-slots element that greatly enhances a slot game, and makes it a bigger winner.

Betting Options (9)

There's certainly nothing wrong with a bet range of one to fifty. And 20 paylines is a winner. When you can increase your winnings through the aforementioned Gamble Bonus Game, you have a nice trifecta of betting options at your disposal. .

Jackpots (7)

Jackpots are essentially the biggest amounts you can realize through the most lucrative combinations. The biggest jackpot we're looking at here is 3000 for the five Avalons in a row. Next in line is four Avalons or five Chests, at 1000. This could be better.
