In keeping with the narrative of the game, all good things happen when Arthur and Mordred come to blows. As well as spending most of the base game hoping for high value multiplier wilds to land you should also be looking for Arthur or Mordred Wilds which land on reel 1 and 5 respectively.
King Arthur Wild always lands on reel 1 ready to do battleNot only do these symbols act like standard wilds but they also trigger the free spins. To make that happen you need each one to land on the same row. Arthur, on row one, will land first with a battle cry, then you sit and wait to see if Mordred is game for the fight! If he is, then you get to pick from one of four free spins options.
Each option is defined by a Battleflag labelled with Courage, Nobility, Honour or Bravery.
Choosing Courage gets you 5 spins with a 10x multiplier; Nobility gets you 10 spins with a 5x multiplier; Honour gets you 25 spins with a 2x multiplier; and Bravery get you between 1 and 20 spins with a 2x to 100x multiplier.
Which of these you choose may depend on your attitude to risk but a good middle ground would be the Nobility option with 10 spins and 5x multiplier. Of course, if you are feeling really lucky you could be Brave and hope for a really high value multiplier across 20 spins! That could bring you close to that 35,000x top payout.
The free spins round promises much more eventful gameplay for two reasons. First, EVERY wild now has a multiplier of up to 100x. And second, Arthur and Mordred are now primed to do battle. When they land they always expand to full reel height, and up to 9 extra wilds are added as their swords clash.
