1000 spins on Mighty Arthur: final review

Did he ever really exist, the mythical King Arthur? Historians disagree. He is said to have defended present-day Britain around 600 against external invasions.

Now, more than 1400 years later, game developer Quickspin (known from Big Bad Wolf) comes with a brand new slot based on the legends of Arthur and his mentor, wizard Merlin.

The name of the slot: Mighty Arthur. And this slot is certainly powerful. There are two magical features that make your screen almost bursting with jokers.

How does Mighty Arthur work?

Mighty Arthur has 5 reels and 20 paylines. The minimum bet is € 0.20 per spin.

On the reels are symbols from the knighthood, supplemented with the famous 10, J, Q, K and A.

In addition, a joker: a purple symbol with the letters WILD. And there is a bonus symbol: a crown with the word BONUS. If you spin BONUS three times anywhere on the reels, you win 10 free spins.

And then there are two more symbols with magical properties. Mighty Arthur himself and the wizard Merlin.

They each provide their own profitable magic trick:

Arthur Expanding Wild

Mighty Arthur lives up to its name. It is only in the middle role and has three positions. You can shoot Arthur for 1/3, 2/3 or completely. Every piece that you see is counted as a joker.

If Mighty Arthur as a whole appears on the middle role, then role 2 and role 4 as a whole also turn into jokers. So three reels full of stacked wilds.

You win insane prizes that way. This particularly pleasant, magical trick is called: Arthur Expanding Wild.

Sometimes there is an extra pinch of magic. That is the case when Arthur is initially only 1/3 or 2/3 in the picture and after the spin quickly crawls completely into the picture. This is called a Mystery Nudge.

Arthur always gets a Mystery Nudge during the free spins. Cash desk!

Merlin Random Wilds

Merlin also has three positions. He appears on all reels and every piece of the wizard counts as a joker.

In addition, Merlin can change 2 to 6 other symbols on the reels into jokers. This magic trick is called: Merlin Random Wilds.

Merlin can also receive a Mystery Nudge.

The 1000 spins from Mr. Casino

Mr. Casino played 1000 spins on Mighty Arthur for this slot review with a bet of € 0.20 per spin.

The start is immediately powerful: wizard Merlin appears nice and often on the reels and delivers nice prizes between 3 and 5 euros.

Three BONUS symbols also quickly appear. Good for 10 free spins, which ultimately yields € 5.15. Not bad.

But King Arthur really takes the crown with his Expanding Wild. In the first 300 spins, the knight shows that trick three times and that is three times a celebration: winnings of € 8.50, € 12.50 and € 7.65.

Unfortunately, the luck of Meneer Casino decreases thereafter. Merlin still appears regularly, but is a lot more stingy with the jokers, so there are no real flaps.

Arthur also ties in a bit and shows himself only three more times in the next 700 spins.

Shortly before the end Meneer Casino receives the free spins again and that session generates a sounding € 15.05.

Despite that catch-up, a loss of € 27.25 is on the counter at the end of the test session for this final review.

About the Mighty Arthur payout percentage

To be clear: the theoretical payout percentage (also known as RTP or return to player) of the slot Mighty Arthur is 96.94%. This means that in the very long term, measured over millions of spins, this slot machine will eventually pay out about 96.94 cents of every euro wagered.

If you play a smaller number of spins, the actual payout percentage may be much higher or much lower than the 96.94% – a matter of luck or bad luck. Mr. Casino had less luck than average in the 1000 spins he played for this slot review. That says nothing about your chances of winning at Mighty Arthur.

The result

• Loss after 1000 spins at € 0.20 per spin: € 27.25
• The 5 biggest winnings: € 15.05 / € 12.50 / € 8.50 / € 8.35 / € 7.65
• Arthur Expanding Wild: 6 times (average profit € 8.00)
• Merlin Random Wilds: 13 times (average profit € 3.36)
• Free Spins Bonus: 2 times (average profit € 10.10)
• According to Quickspin, the payout percentage (RTP) of Mighty Arthur is: 96.94%

Final consideration

With Mighty Arthur, game builder Quickspin delivers a very well-kept and powerful slot. The many big jokers make the game exciting with every spin.
