Towering Pays™ Excalibur by Yggdrasil is a video slot steeped in Arthurian legend, set on a medieval kingdom theme with symbols including Excalibur, shields, Merlin, Guinevere, and King Arthur as the wild. The game uses a 5-reel setup that can expand up to 5×8 rows, increasing paylines from 15 up to 65 through its Towering Pays mechanic. The Excalibur Magic feature turns any Excalibur symbols that land on eligible reels into a random matching symbol, helping form wins.
There’s a Stage Play path: each time Excalibur lands on all reels where it can appear, you add a row and unlock more paylines until the full grid (5×8) is reached. A Feature Wheel is triggered by landing three Wheel symbols; this wheel offers various bonuses including Free Spins rounds, Win Spins, or Wheel Upgrades, and if the Quest Bet is active, the Hold & Spin feature. There are four Free Spins versions—Lancelot, Merlin, Arthur, and Camelot—all starting with six spins on the base grid, with extra spins awarded whenever Excalibur appears in any position. The Free Spins differ in how often the Excalibur symbol can appear on more reels and whether multipliers are guaranteed or optional.
The Prize Multiplier feature can activate on any winning spin, with its possible values rising each time the grid expands, up to a top multiplier for the fully expanded grid. The Hold & Spin bonus comes into play when at least six shield symbols appear—this grants respins with shields locked, grid may grow, and if the entire grid fills with shields, a big win tied to the player’s bet is awarded. Finally, there’s also a Bonus Buy option allowing players to pay a multiple of their stake to immediately gain access to the Feature Wheel and its potential bonuses.
You can try it for free in demo mode or play it for real money.
