Excalibur Unleashed is a high-volatility fantasy slot
How the grid and paylines work. Excalibur Unleashed plays across a non-rectangular 3-5-5-5-3 grid with 20 fixed paylines that run both left-to-right and right-to-left. The medieval fantasy theme centres on expanding wild symbols that land on the outer reels and stretch vertically with a random multiplier between x2 and x20. Released in April 2023 by Pragmatic Play, this high-volatility slot means wins arrive less frequently but can grow significantly larger. A round of base game spins builds toward the real potential of the bonus round.
Who should play this slot. High volatility makes this slot better suited to players with a bankroll for longer dry spells and the patience to chase bigger payouts. The minimum bet of NZ$0.20 keeps entry affordable, yet the maximum of NZ$240 means you can scale stakes upward if you choose. The fantasy theme and medieval symbols appeal to players seeking story-driven aesthetics, though this is a mechanics-focused game: the expanding wild and free spins bonus drive the action, not narrative flourishes.
Free spins: where the multipliers grow. Free spins are triggered when two wild symbols land simultaneously on reel 1 and reel 5, or purchased via Buy Free Spins for 85 times your total bet. The round starts with 6 free spins and carries over the multiplier from the trigger. Expanded wild reels stay locked for the entire bonus, growing by an extra multiplier point after each winning spin. If both wild reels land as part of a winning combination in the same spin, you earn one extra free spin to keep the multipliers climbing.

Get the bonus to start. Land 2 Wilds on reels 1 and 5 at the same time to start 6 free spins with their multipliers active. Expanded Wild reels stay throughout the round and gain plus 1 multiplier after each win. Retrigger by landing both Wilds in a winning spin.
How does the Wild work in base game? The 3-5-5-5-3 grid holds 20 fixed paylines paying both ways. Wild lands only on reel 1 and reel 5, expanding to fill the reel with a random x2 to x20 multiplier when it appears.
The moment you start: what stays uncertain
When does the bonus trigger? The free spins bonus round comes from random events during your spins. You cannot predict when those events will land, how often they will arrive, or whether they will land at all in your session.
Does RTP promise my result? The RTP shows what the game returns over millions of spins. Your own session might return far more, far less, or nothing at all. Every spin's outcome is independent of the RTP figure and the results that came before.
Reaching the maximum win. The maximum win of NZ$1,200,000 exists as a mathematical ceiling. It is extremely rare and remains beyond reach for almost every player. Plan your bets knowing the maximum win is a possibility, not a likelihood.
What it costs to skip the trigger
What does Buy Free Spins do?
Buy Free Spins skips the trigger and takes you straight into the bonus round for NZ$170 at a NZ$2 bet. Your free spins carry the multipliers from the start.

Staying in control while you play
Budget before the session. Set a budget before each session and only play with money you can afford to lose. Choose a bet size that keeps your total spend within that budget for the time you plan to play.
Know when to stop. Decide in advance when you will stop, whether you are ahead or behind. A big multiplier on the reels is not a reason to keep spinning or to bet more than you planned.
Limits that protect you. Use the deposit limits and loss limits on your Bankonbet Casino account. These tools help you stay within your budget without thinking about it during play.
A break can help. If play stops being enjoyable or you find it hard to stick to your limits, take a break. You can use self-exclusion or contact the Gambling Helpline New Zealand for support.
