Thunderkick reignites Arthurian legend in latest slot Sword of Arthur

New release effortlessly blends historical fantasy theme with cutting-edge gameplay

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has released the newest addition to its expanding collection, Sword of Arthur, taking players on a journey to King Arthur’s Ancient Briton.

King Arthur himself features as the game’s highest-paying symbol, followed by his armour and shield, while the low-paying icons are represented by fantasy-style playing card symbols. The legendary sword of Arthur takes centre stage as the Wild and Scatter, helping to form wins and trigger the Bonus Game.

Wins are awarded when matching symbols land on one of the 10 paylines across the 3×5 reel set, while landing a minimum of three Sword symbols anywhere on the grid will trigger the Free Spins Bonus Game.

Before the Bonus Game begins, one icon is chosen at random to become the Expanding symbol and is assigned an initial x1 multiplier. When the Expanding symbol creates a winning combination, it expands to cover the entire reel, amplifying the existing multiplier by x1 and resetting the number of Free Spins to its initial value.

Thunderkick’s latest release sees the return of the Feature Buy option for permitted markets, as well as the Bet+ feature, both of which enable players to boost their chances of triggering the sought-after Bonus Game.

Sword of Arthur revolves around the heroic fantasy of Arthurian legend, offering players a truly unique gaming experience. Thunderkick has struck a balance between maintaining the authenticity of the historical theme, while also ensuring the gameplay is visually immersive. The result is another seamless title to enhance its expanding portfolio of video slots.

Mike Collins, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “We are very excited to offer our players a distinctive new release with Sword of Arthur, which takes players on a journey back in time.

“This title takes an Arthurian theme and launches it into the 21^st century with expanding symbols, Free Spins, and great winning potential to provide an experience we’re sure Thunderkick players will enjoy.”
