Avalon Gold Review

The explorer, Kane, has been a huge success story for ELK Studios, and Ecuador Gold has achieved SlotRank 32 in our system since it was released in 2019. Avalon Gold takes you not only to a brand new location, but Kane has also traveled back in time to apparently become one of King Arthur’s legendary Round Table knights.

He admittedly looks handsome in his shining golden armour, and you get the same grid expanding Cascading wins action as in the previous installments in the Gold range. Up to 262,144 win ways is possible, and you get assistance from cascading wins, expanding wilds and mystery boxes that can trigger a cash coin feature. The mystery boxes are persistent until activated in the bonus round, and the max win is an unusually solid 25,000x your stake.

Avalon Gold Slot Features

The grid expands per Cascading win, as symbols are removed and replaced by new symbols dropping from above. A row is added each time, and you can go from 4,096 win ways to 262,144 ways to win with a maxed out 6x8 grid. The premium symbols pay between 2 and 5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the Golden Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The cascading mechanic goes on as long as you keep winning, and everything resets between base game spins.

You can land Big Symbols in sizes 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4, and these can be regular pay symbols or Mystery Boxes.

Avalon Gold Slot Screen

The big symbols count as a bunch of 1x1 sized symbols, and empty positions below any big symbol turn into the same symbol type as the big symbol above. If symbols land with a golden frame, empty positions above will be filled with wild symbols. This is known as the Expanding Wilds feature.

You need at least 5 Mystery Boxes in view to activate the mystery feature, and unactivated mystery boxes are basically blocker tiles of no value. When they are activated, however, the mystery boxes reveal the same random pay symbol, wilds, or they trigger the Avalon feature. The Avalon feature gives you the following:

  • Coin - a cash prize coin of random value.
  • Multiplier - will boost all present coin prizes.
  • Swiper - upgrades the previous coin by adding 1 in front of the number (8 becomes 18, for example).
  • Collect - collects all coin prizes in sight, and reactivates all the mystery boxes.
  • Redrop - gives you another symbol drop, and also reactivates the mystery boxes.

You need 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 10, 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively.

Mystery Boxes accumulate between free spins, as they are persistent until activated. You still need 5+ in view to get them activated, and they are removed after the Avalon feature has played out.

You start with the default 6x4 grid, and the safety level is increased by +1 row after winning spins. This means that your achieved grid size is saved between spins, and the safety level grid still maxes out at size 6x8. You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 to 6 scatters, and this gives you 10 to 25 extra spins, respectively.

The X-iter menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. It comes with 5 options, and the RTP does not change from either of them:

  • Big Symbol - pay 5x to get a spin with a guaranteed big symbol.
  • Expanding Wild - pay 10x to get a spin with a guaranteed expanding wild.
  • Mystery Boxes - pay 50x to get a spin with 5 guaranteed mystery boxes.
  • Bonus - pay 100x to get the regular bonus round.
  • Super Bonus - pay 500x to get a bonus round where mystery boxes are persistent also after being activated.

The 200 Spins Avalon Gold Slot Experience

You get to see a few base game wins, before we purchase the Super Bonus Round at 0:45 into the 7-minute highlights video. We managed to max out the grid early on, and we also accumulated a solid amount of mystery boxes. You can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We have visited many unusual locations with Kane, and it’s now obvious that he has the ability to travel in time as well. He looks good in his golden armour in Avalon Gold, and the grid expanding action comes with some entertaining innovations as usual.

Avalon Gold Slot Review 2015

The mystery boxes seem inspired by Push Gaming’s Big Bamboo, and they can be extremely helpful in all stages of the game.

As can the expanding wilds feature by the way, and the mystery boxes truly shine in the super version of the bonus round. It’s too bad this feature cannot be triggered organically, as accumulating persistent mystery boxes is a lot of fun. You only get one activation in the regular bonus round though, and the 94 % RTP is a turd in the punch bowl and a deal-breaker for many players. We’ve said it before, but we really hope ELK implements RTP ranges sooner rather than later.

Pros

  • Avalanche wins and up to 4x4 sized big symbols
  • Expanding Wilds and Mystery Boxes
  • FS w/ mystery boxes that persist until activated
  • X-iter Bonus Buy Menu w/ super FS (not UK)
  • Win up to 25,000x your stake

Cons

  • 94 % RTP is deal-breaker territory

If you love Avalon Gold Slot you should also try:

The Green Knight - is a volatile installment in the Arthurian series from Play’n Go, and you’ll benefit from multiplier wilds up to x100. You’ll cycle through all 5 multiplier wild levels in the bonus round, and it comes with a guaranteed multiplier wild per free spin.

Katmandu Gold - is another installment in the Kane/Gold series from ELK, and you get the same grid expanding action as you might be used to. Ice Climbers and Expanding Wins will help keep your cascading winning streak going, and you get a progressive multiplier in the bonus round. The max win is 10,000x your stake.

Avalon Gold is a solid gambling machine, played on a 6-reel game grid which starts 4 rows high. To tackle the game, paid spins cost 20 p/c to $/€ each, or. The RTP of Elk Studios' Avalon Gold slot is 94%. Honestly, it is much lower than we find acceptable, and it makes the game more challenging than other slot.
