The Legend of King Arthur has proved to be an extremely popular tale amongst online slots players with several slot machines devoted to the legendary King and his sword, and now WMS have paid homage to one of the Knights of the Round Table – Sir Lancelot who was considered to be King Arthurs closest companion.
Two or more wild symbols scattered on consecutive reels starting at the leftmost reel unlock a free spin feature with all wins paid at double their normal paytable values. The number of free spins you get depends on the number of wilds that trigger the feature.
The Lancelot slot machine from WMS translates the historical mythology medieval period across the reels to tell the tale of a Knight from Arthurian legend and results in a magical tale that sees Lancelot accompanied on the reels by Queen Guinevere, who his adultery with resulted in a civil war which ultimately brought King Arthurs rule to an end, along with a host of other items related to the period – including Camelot and Excalibur, and a free spins mode where you can trigger up to 50 spins!

Powerful Symbols from Medieval Times
The design of symbols has always been a key trait for WMS and those featured in the Lancelot slot machine have been designed brilliantly to translate the magical medieval period of when Sir Lancelot served King Arthur, and even if you’re not a fan of history or the medieval period you’ll have to be hard-faced not to be impressed by the graphics here.
The standout symbols are the Lancelot (clutching his sword) and Guinevere (posing with hands together) symbols – with both acting as Wilds and having the same payout values. Merlin and Gawain the Green Knight also join them on the reels alongside the stunning lit up Camelot, Excalibur (King Arthur’s infamous sword), acorns (Lancelot and Guinevere met as an Oak tree, yellow roses, helmet, shield, rings, and the King’s crown.
2+ Stacked Wilds Guarantee Big Wins
The lack of bonus features in the Lancelot slot machine are bitterly disappointing, but thankfully the free spins mode that does exist is incredibly easy to trigger and offers very generous rewards. WMS have focused not only on Lancelot himself but also Guinevere and it’s those stacked Wilds that you’ll need to land on consecutive reels from the left hand side in order to trigger the free spins feature, with the more stacked Wilds on consecutive reels resulting in more free spins, as follows.
2 Stacked Wilds: 5 free spins
3 Stacked Wilds: 10 free spins
4 Stacked Wilds: 20 free spins
5 Stacked Wilds: 50 free spins
While 50 free spins are the standout incentive to spin the reels of Lancelot, the odds of you doing so are significantly smaller than landing 2 and 3 stacked Wilds – therefore more often than not you’ll find yourself going to battle with 5 or 10 free spins. While this might not seem so appealing, you’ll be pleased to hear that all wins are doubled and you can also trigger additional free spins by landing the stacked Wilds combinations as your free spins play out – a much needed boost from WMS in an otherwise drab slot!

Worthy of Your Cash?
Lancelot may have been King Arthurs right hand man and worthy of a slot based upon him, but is the Lancelot slot machine from WMS worthy of your hard earned cash?
The design is impressive with intricately detailed symbols that take you back to the medieval period where King Arthur ruled but the fact that sounds are generic and could be used in any slot (rather than those of swords clashing) is very disappointing and it’s essentially all about the sensational free spins mode where you can earn up to 50 free spins!
When compared to the various other slots based on the legend of King Arthur and the medieval period such as Excalibur slot machine from NetEnt and the Avalon slot machine from Microgaming, unfortunately Lancelot simply doesn’t pack the same power as those and is one to avoid!
Lancelot and Guinevere
Lancelot and Guinevere are the two symbols which dominate this slot. Firstly they are the highest paying symbols and if you manage to land 5 in a row on a win line of either of them, you’ll win 500 coins. A combination of the two five times in a row will see you pick up a win of 250 coins.

However, both of these symbols are perhaps more valuable in other ways. Firstly they are both wilds, so will substitute for any other symbol to give additional wins. When you consider that there are two wilds and they are both stacked, you’ll understand that this could lead to some very big moments, where you’ll gain multiple wins at once.
Should Lancelot and/or Guinevere appear on both of the first two reels; the feature of the game will be activated. The feature starts with an image of the sword emerging from a lake before you are taken to the free spins round. You’ll have 5 free spins (unless you landed the scatters on more than just the first two reels, where you’ll now win more) and all wins are doubled during the feature.
Visually the slot is a nice looking one. Both of the main protagonists are striking, with Lancelot stood in his golden battle armour with his sword drawn ready for action, while Guinevere looks demure wearing a plain green dress and golden jewellery. They are joined by many other symbols relevant to the theme, these all set against a grey, stone backdrop. These symbols include a shield, a helmet, yellow roses, Camelot and a crown. Dressed in a purple cloak, Merlin also appears on the reels, alongside a fighting Knight. The soundtrack to the slot isn’t one that really benefits the slot, just a very gentle tune playing alongside each spin – although this improves during the feature where the sound becomes much more rousing.

This 5 reel slot has 40 win lines. All 40 are in play as a default, but you’ll have the option of playing any number between 1 and 40. There are two ways to set the amount for the spin. The classic panel allows you to set the number of lines and the coin value, the combination of the two giving you your total bet size. The quickbet panel shows you a number of boxes displaying various total stakes for the spin – just click on a box and the amount is set.
