How to Play
One of the first things players will notice is that unlike the original Avalon, which had five reels and 20 paylines, Avalon 2 has been upgraded to a slot with 243 ways to win. The minimum bet is $0.30 and the maximum bet is $7.50.
In the latest addition to the Avalon series, players will help the legendary King Arthur in his quest for the Holy Grail. He is one of the characters featured in the game's icons - along with the standard 9, 10, J, Q and K icons - and basic figures such as Merlin, Guinevere, Morgana, the Black Knight and an Avalon 2 logo. The game also features a wild symbol, the Lady of the Lake, and a scatter symbol, the Grail Cup.
The main selling point is that Avalon 2 has eight bonus games that can help players boost their bankrolls. To enter a bonus round, players must get three or more of the Grail Cup scatter symbols. Each time you enter a bonus round, you must progress through one of the eight levels that make up the game's bonus stage on your way to the Isle of Avalon.
Graphics and Sounds
Avalon 2's graphics are as impressive as you're likely to find in any casino game. They are downright excellent, which is saying something because the vast library of titles Microgaming has out there are pretty much all excellent. This is especially noticeable during the bonus rounds where the graphics really come into their own. Avalon doesn't skimp on the details either, as you can see in the image above and the next few images, which take you on a nice little tour of the game.
The game is really above par in terms of audio. The background music drifts between a quiet, soothing organ and wind instrument heavy orchestration that can really kick things up a few notches when the situation calls for it. Some of the other sounds seem a bit out of place with the message being conveyed by the music, but I understand that they are probably there mainly to let the player know when their ship has arrived.
Jackpot
Unlike other games, Avalon 2 does not have a specific jackpot for players to aim for. Instead, players compete to enter the eight bonus rounds where players can really rake in the cash thanks to multipliers, almost second screen bonus games, free spins and wilds that expand to more than the average of four reels. On a single spin in the base game, you can win a maximum of 2,000 coins, while playing through the bonus games can result in winnings of as much as 2,430,000 coins.
Avalon 2 is comparable to most in terms of volatility. But the payout percentage is this game's strong point: it's a generous 98.5 percent. So this could be considered a high return slot machine. On top of that, it's a slot with a story that players seem to enjoy.
Special Features
The big draw here is the Grail Cup bonus game. On first entry, players begin the journey from Camelot to the Lake of Legends, where they are invited to roll the dice in an effort to collect Lancelot. From there it's on to the bonus round where free spins can be used to win real cash.
The eight bonus levels are as follows:
- Lake of Legend
- Misty Vale
- Whispering Woods
- Forest Falls
- Dusky Moors
- Morgan’s Keep
- Hall of Shadows
- Isle of Avalon
Each game has its own unique aspect that allows participants to earn a little more money. One of the great things is that you even have a bit of control over your own course, as players can choose to take either Whispering Woods or Forest Falls on their way to Dusky Moors.
