Excalibur Unleashed (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

How to Play Excalibur Unleashed Slot

I play Excalibur Unleashed on a 5-reel grid set in a 3-5-5-5-3 layout with 20 fixed paylines that pay both ways. Bets range from 0.20 to 100 per spin, and the slot supports quick spins and autoplay if I want to grind sessions. Wins land from the outer reels towards the centre, which suits the features on reels 1 and 5. It’s straightforward. Set stake, press spin, watch for the sword wilds on the edges and keep an eye on multipliers building during features.

Symbols and Payouts in Excalibur Unleashed

The paytable tracks my stake, with wins coming both ways. Lows are 10 to Ace royals paying 2x to 3x for five of a kind. Highs are a potion bottle, an orb, a crown, a mouse, and a bird, paying 5x to 25x for a full line. I like how the layout helps connect lines from either side, so edge hits can still get paid. Three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the first or last reel does the job.

The only special symbol is the Wild, landing on reels 1 and 5. When it appears, it expands to cover the whole reel and may carry a random multiplier of x2 to x10, x12, x15, or x20. It substitutes for regular pays and becomes central to the feature trigger. I’ve seen single-edge wilds prop wins nicely, but the magic really starts when both edges show up in the same spin and the multipliers start stacking across winning lines.

Excalibur Unleashed Bonus Features

Expanding wilds are the backbone here. When a wild hits, it stretches to fill its reel and can land with a multiplier of x2 to x10, x12, x15, or x20. If a win runs through more than one wild, the multipliers are added before applying to that line. On the asymmetrical grid this can create tidy pays in both directions, and on good days those edge reels act like bookends for lines that thread straight through the centre.

Free Spins trigger when wilds land on reels 1 and 5 at once. You get 6 spins, and both expanded wilds stick for the whole round. Each time a sticky wild helps a win, its multiplier climbs by +1 for the rest of the bonus. When both sides feature in the same win, you collect an extra spin. The multipliers from the triggering spin carry into the feature, which can set up tidy momentum if the opener rolls in with decent values.

If I don’t fancy waiting, the bonus can be bought for 85x the bet. Bought features start with random multipliers of x1 to x20 on the sticky wilds. Because wins count from left to right and right to left, even awkward set-ups can connect through the bookend wilds, and the added multipliers can stack up fast. That said, it’s a swingy ride, and I’ve seen bought rounds whiff as well as spike, which fits the slot’s temperament.

RTP & Volatility in Excalibur Unleashed

The default RTP sits at 96.05 percent in the base game, dropping slightly to 96.02 percent with Bonus Buy, though some setups use 95.06 or 94.01 percent. Volatility is high, rated 5 out of 5, and the max win caps at 5,000x the bet. The feature arrives about once in 179 spins on average, with the top payout modelled at roughly 1 in 500,000 spins. In practice I’ve had bankroll dips between bonuses, then sharp lifts when multipliers line up.

Review Summary for Excalibur Unleashed

I rate Excalibur Unleashed as a lighter take on the Arthurian angle, with animal heroes carrying the show. The gameplay doesn’t reinvent anything, yet the full reel multiplier wilds on the edges are effective and satisfying when they click. The pay-both-ways model fits the design, letting awkward lines pay from either side. I’ve had patches of dead spins, then bursts where both wilds appear and multipliers add, which is when the slot finally starts to show proper teeth.

For me, it plays tough but fair for a high variance release, with a 5,000x ceiling that feels reachable only when the edges land early and keep growing. The bonus arrives often enough to stay engaged, yet the cost of cold spells is real, so I size bets with care. Watch the RTP setting where you play, as ranges exist. Overall, a solid outing and a decent slot worth a spin if you fancy sticky wilds with climbing multipliers.
