Avalon of the Fruit Machines

Fruit machine games are a specialized kind of slots game found in the U.K. and now transferred to the world of online slots. The fruit machines offer a great gaming experience with a lot of fun and extra features, and now Avalon is being offered at online casinos as a combined video and fruit machines slot.

Although Avalon does not have the Nudges and Holds so common to British fruit machines, it does have many other special features that make it a thrilling addition to the online collection of fruit machine games.

Avalon Characteristics

The Avalon addition to the fruit machines happened in the year 2006, and since then it continues to be very popular in the platform of fruit machine games. The Avalon theme is based on the legend of the dying King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake. After being injured in battle, the Lady of the Lake whisked Arthur away to Avalon. With this tale as the background theme, it is not surprising that the background music is mystical and the images give you the sights of King Arthur's era.

You will find symbols of knights, castles, crowns and treasure chests showing up on the reels beautifully drawn and colored to accent the exotic and mystical Avalon.

Though most fruit machines have only three reels and one pay line, Avalon possesses five reels and twenty pay lines. You can play as low as one cent and as high as fifty cents. It is best to activate all the pay lines to be eligible for the big jackpot which means playing twenty coins each spin.

Avalon Special Features

The Avalon logo is the Wild symbol and substitutes for all other symbols to create wins except for the Scatter symbol. During the special free games or free spins feature (something found in all fruit machines) there is another Wild symbol added, the Treasure Chest to create even more wins.

The Lady of the Lake is the Scatter symbol. Just two of them anywhere on the reels will give you a win, but three or more take you to the Bonus Free Spins feature.

Like most fruit machine games, Avalon features a Bonus game which is triggered by three Ladies of the Lake. You are then awarded 12 free spins which can be retriggered. During the free spins you receive two Wilds: the Avalon logo and the Treasure Chest. All your wins in the free spins are multiplied by a random number from 2 to 7.

Like all fruit machines, Avalon offers a Gamble Bonus, a common feature of all fruit machine games. When you get a win on the reels, you can gamble to double or quadruple your win by clicking on the Gamble button. You go to a second screen where you can double your win by guessing the correct color (either red or black), and you can quadruple your win by guessing the correct card suit. Its another way to increase your winnings, but it is also a risk.

As an addition to the platform of fruit machine games, Avalon is an exciting and entertaining game.
