The legend of King Arthur is a popular theme choice for online slots and Iron Dog Studio has decided to add its spin on the theme to the world of online slots.  Crown of Avalon transports you to the magical realm of Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table, and a cast of iconic characters.

The 5-reel, 3-row pokie with an RTP of 96% has modest graphics that adequately depict the well-known literary legend. While the graphics may not be exceptional, the game’s strategy of weaving story elements into the gameplay certainly is.

Your quest is to find the legendary Crown of Avalon and help Arthur claim his place as king and there are plenty of rewards for you along the way.

Quest for the crown

The reels feature Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, The Lady of the Lake, and more characters. They represent the high-value symbols that pay out the base game’s biggest rewards. But, the titular crown and legendary sword Excalibur offer the path to the greatest riches the slot has to offer.

3 Crown Scatters will trigger 10 Free Spins. A symbol is randomly selected at random and if that symbol is matched again during a Free Spins sequence, you will receive an extra 10 Free Spins. The randomly selected special symbol acts as an Expanding Wild, that occupies an entire reel.

Raise the sword

The sword Excalibur randomly appears during the base game, acting as an Expanding Wild with attached multipliers. A single sword on the reels can greatly boost your winning potential, but if more than 1 sword lands on the reels, takes your payout potential to new levels with a maximum of 5,100x your bet.

Crown of Avalon is available to play now and is a worthy addition the Iron Dog Studio’s growing portfolio.​

Red Rake Gaming is ready for a wildlife-packed excursion in its latest pokie, Wild animals. The game revolves around America’s fauna and includes some of the nation’s most iconic beasts, including eagles, wolves, bears, and horses.

The game’s graphics offer a scenic depiction of America’s untamed countryside. Towering trees dominate the slot’s background, accompanied by a serene lake and clear skies.

The depiction of the animals doesn’t come across as the finest of art, but they are adequately rendered and serve the pokie’s overall purpose of providing a tranquil atmosphere.

Immerse yourself

This pokie might be relaxing by design, but there’s no time to meditate with a pile of cash worth 2000x your stake on the line. The 5×3 reel, 243 ways to win format offers bonus features in the form of free spins and the innovative Wild Fusion mini-game for which you will need to match a minimum of 3 bonus symbols.

Running with wolves

When the Wild Animals Fusion round is triggered, you will start a seemingly regular round of free spins, but the unusual nature of the mini-game soon reveals itself. A grid appears with wolf symbols placed randomly across its positions. With each spin, you stand the chance to land new wolf symbols and expand the existing ones on the grid. If two wolves appear beside each other, they will combine into a single, larger symbol. The larger the symbol the better for you as it will become increasingly easier to land high-value symbol combinations.

If a Gold Eagle alights on the reels while a Wild Fusion game is active, you will receive an extra 3 free spins.

Wild Animals offers a unique combination of a soothing theme and a pulse-raising mini-game, making it an intriguing addition to Red Rake Gaming’s online offering.​
