Mighty Arthur slot review (Quickspin)

Mighty Arthur is an online video slot developed by the talented and creative minds of Quickspin

Quickspin slots are known for their original bonus features, beautiful graphics, as well as their polished animations, and smoothly spinning reels. Mighty Arthur has a medieval theme starring King Arthur, his beautiful Princess Guinevere and Merlin, the wizard.

The game is played on 5 reels with 20 symbols, and graphically it all looks terrific. There are four different bonus features, and the game runs like clockwork: the reels spin smoothly like a maglev (magnetic) train silently whizzing over the tracks.

Mighty Arthur gameplay & features

The minimum bet is $€ 0.20 per spin, and the maximum bet is $€ 100 per spin. Mighty Arthur’s theoretical payout rate is 96.94% – very acceptable, although it is slightly lagging for our top 10 best-paying slots.

The variance is also typical of Quickspin: at the low end of medium. In reality, it means you’ll get a lot of playtime for your money. Do you mainly play to win big bucks? Then you better try out a genuinely high variance slot.

The artwork is beautiful, including beautifully illustrated images of Arthur, Merlin, and Princess Guinevere. Several items catch our eye, which is essential for the average king/wizard: spell books, helmets and golden wine cups.

Symbols and payouts

The wild symbol replaces all other symbols except the scatter symbols and earns you 7.5 x your total bet if 5 of them end up on an active payline.

The princess is also worth 7.5 x your total bet, closely followed by King Arthur with a payout of 6 x the bet for five identical ones on an active payline.

All other premium symbols are good for 4 x your bet, and the all too familiar card symbols earn you 2.5 x your total bet.

The Arthur Expanding Wild

As soon as King Arthur appears as a full stack on the 3rd reel, the three middle reels turn completely into wild symbols. It goes without saying, you can grab great payouts that way.

The Merlin Random Wild

If Merlin appears completely stacked on 1 of the 5 reels, the Merlin Random Wild Feature will be activated. Merlin turns into a stacked wild symbol and also adds another 2 to 6 extra wilds to the screen.

The Nudge Feature

If either Arthur or Merlin is only partially visible, the nudge feature can be activated. The symbol is then moved to the centre of the screen so you can still win the feature in question. You might recognize this mechanism from Quickspin’s popular Sakura Fortune slot.

The Free Spins Bonus

When three scattered bonus symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, the free spins bonus is activated. You win 10 free spins, which you cannot retrigger. The nudge feature automatically applies to every Merlin or Arthur symbol appearing on the reels during the free spins – adding to the excitement.

Consequently, this bonus can pay out quite handsomely, but it can also result in a setback. It all depends on how often you manage to activate the nudge feature.

Our verdict on the Mighty Arthur slot

Quickspin has once again released an excellent slot. Mighty Arthur looks attractive and has some unique and enjoyable bonus features.

We don’t love it as much as Sticky Bandits or Sakura Fortune; Mighty Arthur is delightful nonetheless.

The high payout rate of almost 97% is a welcome extra as well.

We award Might Arthur a solid score.

3.7 stars out of 5.
