Avalon III Slot Review
A king in silver plate armour stands guard beside the reels of Avalon III, pale columns rising into golden light behind him, treasure chests heaped with coins above the game. Stormcraft Studios has built a slot where the reels themselves are nearly the least important thing on screen: the paytable tops out at 5x, and every win that matters is something you’ve collected rather than lined up. It’s a design that asks for patience up front and settles its debts in scatters of coins and jackpots later.
It runs on a 5×4 grid with 20 fixed paylines, at high volatility and a 96.30% RTP, with stakes from 0.20 to 50.00. The studio shares a stable with Immortal Romance 2 and Thunderstruck Wild Lightning, and the royal theme has served it well before. Camelot, after all, was always a story about waiting for the right moment.
Base Game & Features
Wins pay left to right across 20 fixed paylines, starting from the first reel. Where several combinations land on a single line, only the highest one counts, and the total payout is the sum of every line win from the spin.
Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the base game and free spins, can land stacked, and substitute for everything except the three orb symbols, orb multipliers and coin values.
Symbol Values
All pays are multiples of the line bet, for three, four and five of a kind:
- Purple Orb Staff Figure: 1.20x / 2.50x / 5.00x
- Throne Room: 1.00x / 2.00x / 4.00x
- Castle: 0.70x / 1.50x / 3.00x
- Green Mountain: 0.60x / 1.20x / 2.50x
- Blue Cave/Portal: 0.50x / 1.00x / 2.00x
- A: 0.40x / 0.90x / 1.80x
- K: 0.40x / 0.80x / 1.60x
- Q: 0.30x / 0.70x / 1.40x
- J: 0.30x / 0.60x / 1.20x
- 10: 0.20x / 0.50x / 1.00x
The line game exists to keep the balance ticking between collections; it isn’t where the money lives. Everything above the royals is straight out of the game’s world, from the throne room to the portal in the blue cave.
Special Symbol Combos
On any spin that doesn’t trigger a feature or bonus, combinations of three or more special symbols on consecutive reels from the first can award their associated prizes. The pool includes coin prizes, the Mini, Minor and Midi jackpots, and Magic Orb multipliers.
Jackpot Orbs and Free Spin Orbs transform into Wild Orbs to complete these combinations; Magic Orbs don’t transform but still enable the payout. Neither the orbs nor the Wild Orbs carry a prize of their own, and Wild Orbs won’t substitute in a normal line win. Special symbol wins pay alongside regular line wins rather than instead of them.
Magic Orbs Feature
Magic Orb symbols land only on reel 3, in the base game and free spins, and each one collected raises the Magic Orb count by one. The count starts at five and climbs to a maximum of 50, and on any collection the feature can trigger at random.
When it does, random coin prizes worth 0.5x to 6x the bet plus Mini, Minor and Midi jackpot prizes are scattered onto the reels, with the total number of prizes matching the orb count. All of them pay immediately, before the next spin begins, and a 2x or 3x multiplier can be applied to the whole win if the associated symbol is on the reels when the feature fires.
In the base game the collection resets to five after a payout, so the meter starts again from the minimum every time it pays. If it triggers during free spins, the count carries on building for the rest of the round instead of resetting, which is where a count near the 50-prize ceiling becomes reachable.
Jackpot Bonus
Jackpot Orbs land on reels 2, 3 and 4, and each one collected increases either the Mega or Maxi jackpot value. The bonus can trigger at random on any collection, in the base game or in free spins, and if it fires during free spins it plays out first before the spins resume.
It’s a pick game: select coins until three matching jackpot symbols appear, and that jackpot pays. The ladder runs from a fixed 8x at the bottom to a ceiling of 5000x the total bet at the top:
- Mega: 1000x to 5000x the total bet, the top prize and the game’s maximum win
- Maxi: 100x to 1000x the total bet
- Midi: 40x the total bet
- Minor: 15x the total bet
- Mini: 8x the total bet
The Mega and Maxi are only won in the Jackpot Bonus, while the Midi, Minor and Mini can also drop through the Magic Orbs Feature. Multipliers of up to 3x can attach to the three lower tiers, and they apply to the jackpot amount if that jackpot is won. Jackpot values persist at each bet level, so a session at one stake keeps feeding the same pot.
Avalon III Bonus Features & Free Spins
Free Spins
Free Spin Orbs land on reels 2, 3 and 4, and collecting them can award 8 free spins at random. Bets and lines match the triggering spin, and the round plays out automatically.
Every Free Spin Orb that lands during the round adds 3 more spins, with no cap on how often that happens. The Magic Orb count starts at five on entry and, as in the base game, doesn’t reset when the Magic Orbs Feature pays out mid-round, so a long run of spins keeps stacking the collection higher.
Both orbs stay active through the round, which matters: free spins carry a second collection on top of the Magic Orb meter, plus the Jackpot Orbs feeding the Mega and Maxi pots. Three separate meters can be running at once.
Buy Feature
The Buy Free Spins button triggers the free spins round instantly, at a cost of 100x the current bet. The purchase awards the standard 8 spins with the Magic Orb count starting at five, and it’s a base-game option only.
Two things improve on a purchase: features trigger at a higher rate during bought free spins, and coin orbs can carry higher values. It runs at the same 96.30% RTP as standard play. The option may not be available above a certain bet threshold, or in every region.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
Playing Avalon III means watching meters more than reels. Four spins in five land nothing, the wins that do arrive are usually small, and the whole appeal is the slow filling of the orb counts and jackpot pots, with everything released in one scatter of coins when the game finally gives in. If you’d rather chase line wins, there are better halls for it than Camelot.
The best thing here is that the free spins round keeps what it earns: the orb count doesn’t reset when the feature pays mid-round, so a long run compounds instead of starting over, and jackpots that persist per bet level reward staying put. The worst is that all of it sits behind random triggers you can’t influence; you can feed the Mega pot for a session and never see the pick game. For players who like the long build and can bankroll the dry stretches, this is a rewarding one. Anyone wanting regular action will find it quiet.
