Avalon II is a Blockbuster game in every sense. Microgaming brought a new level of graphical and audio fidelity to the online gaming experience with the new slot game. Like the original Avalon online slot, Avalon II revolves around the legends of King Arthur, but with so much more: more life-like graphics, more Arthur-related characters, more bonus features, and, sure, more ways to win.

King Arthur and Company
All of the characters that take part in this epic saga are fully realised with cinema quality 3D animation and voice acting. The story of Arthur's quest to retrieve the grail and restore it to Avalon plays out over 8 bonus games. The winning symbols on the Avalon II slot machine succeed in telling the story of King Arthur and include:

Arthur: Sixth-century king of England, he led the Knights of the Round Table from his court in Camelot to many adventures.
Merlin: The shape-shifting wizard and King Arthur's spiritual guide.
Guinevere: Arthur's wife, the beautiful queen of England.
Morgan: King Arthur's half-sister and a powerful sorceress.
The Black Knight: The mortal enemy of King Arthur.
The Lady of the Lake: Ruler of the Island of Avalon, she gave Arthur the sword Excalibur.

243 Ways to Win
The Avalon II slot game has 5 reels and 243 Ways to Win. Way Wins award for left to right adjacent symbol combinations, except for the Scatter symbol which must pay in any position. Way wins will multiply by coins bet.

Wild and Expanding Wild
The game features two wild symbols. The first wild symbol is the Avalon II logo, seen rising spectacularly from the still waters of Avalon Lake. The wild symbol can substitute for all other slot symbols to create a winning way, except Expanding Wild and Scatter Grail. The Lady of the Lake is an Expanding Wild. The Lady appears on Reel 3 only, and she can expand to cover the entire reel and award multiple ways to win on a single spin.

Merlin Feature
Merlin the Wizard can appear on the reels in the base game at any time and use his supernatural powers to award a random cash prize or a multiplier. On any winning spin, Merlin can randomly apply a 2x to 4x multiplier to your win. On any non-winning spin, Merlin can award a coin prize of 4x to 20x the total bet.

Grail Bonus Game
3 or more Grail Scatters landing anywhere on the Reels trigger the Grail Bonus Game. Journey through the Kingdom on your quest to retrieve the Grail and return it to Avalon. 8 possible Bonus Games await your discovery along the way. That is the Bonus Game is a trail bonus consisting of 7 stages, presented as 7 steps. When you reach the 3rd step in the trail you must make a choice between 2 Bonus Games. So in fact the game consists of 8 Bonus Games - though you must only ever play 7 as you move through the trail. After each Bonus Game you return to the base slot game. The Grail Bonus Quest Three of more Holy Grail symbols will take you to the exciting Grail Bonus Quest, an epic journey to recover the Holy Grail that begins at Camelot and leads to Avalon. Each station along the way has its own special bonus feature: �At the Lake of Legend, you restore the broken sword Excalibur by rolling the dice to assemble its fragments. You will receive a prize for each fragment and an additional bonus prize for the fully restored Excalibur. �At the Misty Vale, you get 15 free spins and you may pick any character you want to become an extra wild symbol and a 2X multiplier. �In the Whispering Woods, the White Knight will present you with five shields to choose from.
