Introduction

Sort of like the Thunderstruck pokie series from Microgaming, the Avalon saga began with an above-average yet otherwise forgettable pokie experience in the mid-2000s. And also like Thunderstruck, Avalon has been followed up with a sequel that not only blows its predecessor out of the water, but most other slots as well.

Jackpots & Bonus Games

Similar to Thunderstruck II, the bonuses in Avalon II are awarded in sequential order. Here, three or more Holy Grail scatters take you to the map of Camelot that lays out what bonus level adventure awaits before you. In order, they are:

  • Lake of Legend: Dice game where you can win up to 15x your wager if you roll the correct numbers that correspond to different parts of the Excalibur sword you are trying to reconstruct (within the 10 given spins).
  • Misty Veil: Receive 15 free spins and an extra wild symbol of your choosing for the duration of the free games.
  • Whispering Woods: Pick em game where you choose one of five shields to reveal your prize.
  • Forest Falls: Twenty free spins are yours along with wilds that freeze and expand downward when they appear in rows one or two.
  • Dusky Moors: Match ‘em game (with knight helms) where you earn a bet multiplier with the first match you make. The more picks you make before revealing a match, the higher your multiplier.
  • Morgan’s Keep: Twenty free spins with a 2x multiplier on rolling reels. When you hit a win, the winning symbols disappear are replaced instantly with new, random ones. If those result in a win, your multiplier goes up to 2x and so on, as high as 6x.
  • Hall of Shadows: Fighting game where you face off against the Black Knight. Choose one of three block and attack options in this turned-based duel, and if you choose correctly enough times the Grail and (a big real cash prize) is yours.
  • Isle of Avalon: If you make it this far, you are pretty much guaranteed to walk away with something substantial. Here you’ll spin four wheels with different numbers on them (kind of like roulette). The numbers will add up to reveal your multiplier.

There are countless ways to win countless different amounts of payouts, but it’s commonly accepted that a modest 2,430,000 coins is the game’s top achievable jackpot.

Dedicated mobile apps for single pokies have become pretty passe, and Avalon 2 has abided by that trend. No app is necessary to play it on a variety of supported smartphones and tablets, but you may also be able to find he game within your favourite online casino’s mobile app.

Aside from how quickly we could begin playing it in our device’s browser, our Avalon II online pokies review notes for mobile also highlighted:

  • All eight mini-games available on mobile just like on PC
  • Ability to switch back and forth between PC and mobile with the same account
  • Graphics are beautiful even on small screens
  • Mini-game map makes it feel like you are playing a handheld RPG
  • Quit now and return later to exactly where you were before in the bonus adventure

Why Avalon II Is Worth Playing

If you played the original Avalon, you’ll be spellbound by the sequel’s transformation (and by how much gold it can leave you with).
