Spamalot
Monty Phyton’s Spamalot is a 20 payline game, with a total of 5 reels, which was created by Playtech. The game is a funny depiction of Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table, with progressive jackpots added for good measure. It’s a good looking game, though a bit weird as well, with the picture of a real cow placed on the left side while the rest of the slot uses cartoon drawings for its characters. A picture of hills and the blue sky are visible right behind the game reels. Great features of the game include the scatter, the free games with random wilds, the bonus game or the wild symbol.
Graphics & Theme
The game’s theme is Camelot and its knights, so you will notice that there are quite a few characters you already know on the reels. The drawing style is designed to get the player to smile, or at least not to take the game too seriously. To start with the beginning, you will notice at the top the progressive jackpots that you can win, the game logo and a picture of King Arthur in a corner. On the reels, there are symbols with Lady of the Lake, King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad and Sir Robin, plus the images of the scatter, the bonus symbol, the Holy Grail wild and the playing cards. There are two progressive jackpot symbols as well, but they are only offered during free spins.
Special Effects
There are two progressive jackpots that players can go after in this slot, each one triggered only during the free spins and only through a certain symbol. You need five identical symbols on a line, to give you one of the jackpots called either “Holy Grail Jackpot” or “Slightly Less Holy Grail Jackpot”.
The wild symbol has on it an image of the Holy Grail, a gold cup that will award payouts of 5000 coins for five symbols on a line ($250,000). The three symbols with bonus features are not influenced by the presence of a wild.
Monty Phyton’s Scatter is another feature that’s going to impress you, where having multiple symbols of this type in a random position will give you free games with random wilds, plus payouts of up to 250x the bet.
The Bonus symbol is slightly unusual, showing us an image of a cloud with feet sticking out of it, and with the word Bonus written on the side. There are four different acts that you go through, but you only get access to them if you get the bonus symbol on both the 1st and 5th reels.
Overall
It’s the kind of slot machine that makes you smile and helps you have some fun for a while. It does have a long range of features as well, plus big potential payouts and progressive jackpots, so it’s a good game on its own, not just thanks to its design.
