In a nutshell
While most slot games based on movies or comics turn it down a notch from the original story lines, features and gimmicks,Monty Python’s Spamalot slot is every bit as hilarious as the group itself.
Add the opportunity to win a fortune and you’ve got yourself a winner: Spamalot!
A closer look
Monty Python’s Spamalot slot is simply hilarious! The gaming enthusiast in you will like the wide range of bonus games and chances to bank credit but the Monty Python fan will have to make sure he doesn’t forget to spin the reels because he is enjoying the quirky ideas and comic elements so much.
As in many of their films, songs and sketches, simple thinks are very simple in this game but complicated things are very complicated.
The basic rules are easy enough: There are 5 reels (spinning to the famous coconut-generated sounds of horses running) and 20 pay lines and you can bet between $0.01 and $5 per line. The number of coins per line cannot be increased. There is a skill stop as well as an auto play option. In addition to a set number of auto spins you can choose to auto spin until you qualify for a feature (free spins or a bonus round) which is very helpful.
While the reels are spinning you will hear “Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life” playing in the background. If this tempts you to mute the game: don’t! There are tons of fanfares, jingles, songs, quotes and other Pythonesque strokes of genius thrown into the mix throughout the game you will not want to miss. So just go along with it.
The game symbols are made up of the higher earning King Arthur and The Lady of the Lake joined by the reasonably rewarding Sirs Lancelot, Galahad and Robin. The mix is completed by high card symbols. The Holy Grail is the wild and will substitute for anything but scatter, bonus and the jackpots.
Free spin feature
Three or more scatters will trigger 10 free games. After each of those free spins you will see some of the showing tiles bombed away and replaced by extra wilds.
The free spin mode also features the Jackpot symbol. Each time one of them appears anywhere on your reels it will be collected. If you manage to fill all the collection slots (you’ll need 5 symbols to do so) you will not only get your win from the free spins added to your balance but also have the chance to win the Holy Grail Jackpot, or the Slightly Less Holy Grail Jackpot.
Bonus features
There are four different bonus rounds in brilliant settings in the Monty Python’s Spamalot video slot inspired by scenes every Monty Python fan will recognize. In the first challenge you will have to put the brave knights in a place where they won’t be hit by a cow, banking credit for each time you manage to do so. The second round starts off with a 5x multiplier and you have to make sure you don’t decrease it while fighting the black knight. The knights need more help finding shrubberies and passing the Killer Rabbit in the two remaining rounds.
Once you have successfully mastered all challenges, the quest will start anew next time you hit the bonus symbols on reels 1 and 5.
Special features
Collect 5 Holy Grail Jackpot symbols during your free spins and you will be able to go on the hunt for the Holy Grail Jackpot. There are 6 levels to complete in Monty Python’s Spamalot slot machine and you’ve got to choose the right object at each stage. While you are progressing you can see the jackpot grow on your screen. There is also the Slightly Less Holy Grail Jackpot in case you don’t quite manage to hit the big one.
