Avalon 2 coming up!

[SirWegs]

Hi Guys,

Just saw that Avalon 2 is coming up. Looks really cool!

 

[Balthazar]

I clicked on it to try to see if I could guess the variance from the preview. Needless to say that I wasn't successful.

 

[Simmo!]

I saw a demo of this back at ICE in 2013. I think this is being released in Feb. I expected it earlier as it seemed to me to be a good opportunity to fill the void left behind by "Lord Of The Rings" as the inference from the MG rep who showed me back at ICE was the game would be similar in game-play. Maybe that's changed though, hence the delay. I'll stake $1 on it being at least 243 lines though

 

[randomiam]

this one?

 

[incrediblestuff]

Amazing...
Avalon is still one of my favourites, and this sequel appears to have a lot of the features and extras of aa lot of cool slots..
Definitely looking forward to this!

 

[bowki]

That looks phantastic!!! Im sure it will be one of my new favorite games.

 

[Balthazar]

Damn, that looks like a major release. I wasn't sold on the bonus rounds though, we'll see.

 

[rshkrn]

another one with 243 lines.....hope the bonus features are worth waiting for....

 

[sapit222]

Looks great!

 

[lotusch]

WoW,looks awesome and it is a 243 liner which are my favourite slots in the MGS portfolio so defo looking forward to this one!

 

[SubzeroWins]

Doesnt look very special to me. I'd prefer 1 good bonus round over 8 mediocre ones.
The intro movie & CGI is good though

Me too. The newer Santa slot is a good example of many different bonus rounds with little win potential.

The intro movie & CGI is good though

But then again it's a slot and not a video game. It's a little early to tell but usually too many bells and whistles doesn't reflect good on the paytable (see their newest Batman slot for a prime example).

 

[dionysus]

Well, at least it doesn't have any property licensing attached so they can arbitrarily block us Canadians from it, with no explanation like Playboy, South Park and CFTBL

 

[dunover]

243 ways....
Simmo was right, why oh why??

Can't they make it more interesting, like having a blank in reel 5 so it's 162 ways? 243-Ways reminds me of Spinal Tap "This amp is special - it goes up to eleven..."

 

[jjezebel37]

Loved Avalon but got a bit bored...this looks great!!

 

[243 lines=daft]

Pretty cynical move.
Referencing a true classic like Avalon as a theme for another jumped up, 243 line, generic pocket-emptier.

Like taking the Mona Lisa into the kitchen and spreading it with butter and strawberry jam.

 

[bsilva028]

another 243 way
i dont like much of them

 

[dog]

Looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to try it!

Press release:

An Arthurian legend is set to return in February​

Sequel to Avalon, one of Microgaming's most successful proprietary titles, Avalon II: The Quest For The Grail will launch at ICE Totally Gaming 2014.

The five reel, 243 ways-to-win slot takes players on an epic quest to retrieve the Grail. Joined by Merlin, King Arthur, Guinevere and Morgan, the journey through the Kingdom will see players revel in eight bonus rounds of captivating gameplay. The Grail Bonus, designed to bring longevity to the game, will give players the chance to reforge Excalibur, spin the Wheel of Fortune and defeat the Black Knight to recover the Grail.

The game's characters have been brought to life through stunning 3D rendered animations and the world of Avalon is portrayed through intricate tapestry, classically painted environments, and suspenseful sound effects, all to the finest of details.​

regardless of how the slot pays out, its very nice to see microgaming spending alot of effort in the making of it rather than a simply reskinned 243 slot, i still play avalon from time to time, never really done well on it, but it was a solid game, ill certainly be having a go on the new version

Yes I agree. No slot will appeal to everyone which is why you need variation and choice. I'm struggling to think of many of the newer clones of old games that have really made a big splash. Maybe Girls With Guns but that was only because the original LOTR was pulled.

Best wait until we can play it before judging. But I can definitely see this game nodding at the original LOTR and the bonus feature setup reminds me a little of WMS Gaming's original LOTR slot.

Personally, the more features in a game the less I enjoy them as it often means lower variance but I like the way MG have pioneered the multiple-feature that you choose rather than get randomly awarded. It is clever in how it allows the player to influence the variance.

 

[mrmark21]

Never won anything more than 50x the bet on the original. I'm sure I won't win anything on this one. I don't understand why Microgaming keep releasing all these 243 ways, 1000 ways, allot of ways to win slots at least the original only had 25 lines.

I have nearly made all my major hits on 243 line slots from MGS.
I am one of the people who have been rather unlucky on the 9-15-20-25 liners from MGS,could be coincidence but that is one of the reasons I specificly look to play their 243 line range.
For example the original Avalon was never really good to me so I hope this new polished version will do a better job for me.
Can't wait to try it.

 

[mcgameboy]

I've always been fond of playing Avalon, as I've had some fairly good results on that slot, but never any "nightmare" sessions. I've even won a couple of Avalon tournaments in recent months. And given that I am also quite fond of TS2, I can see this potentially becoming my new all-time favourite slot. I will definitely be giving it a go come February.

 

[CURTSONLYLOVE10]

thats it im moving somewhere where i can play microgamming i miss it so much use to love to play their lots....this game is HOTTTTTTTTTT

 

[dionysus]

I'm going to be all over it. Having lost Playboy, I've a gap to fill

 

[Balthazar]

I think it's going to be closer in variance to Secret Santa than Playboy. Multiple different bonus rounds but no monster wins. Slots with that many bells and whistles tend to be lower variance.

 

[dionysus]

Yeah, losing out on those potential big hits sucks (Playboy's been good to me, 4 wild reels on the last bonus).
But even for mid-range, I'm ok as long as it's entertaining.

 

[muziq]

looking forward to this ... going to be one of the major release of this year for sure

While the game is; long expected, worked on for 2 years, quite a fuzz among slot fans in the forums and already advertised as the next best game of the year ...

The MG and affiliates could / should give more attention to launch, eg at 0.00 GMT or something, I'm sure there would be lots of extra fun over it in various ways ... The fans would appreciate the extra edge or excitment for sure.

Can you imagine what we would be missing if Apple would just randomly stock stores with newest gadgets and than said in the next days; oh yeah, the new iPhone 9 ExtraSlimCarbonFinish is already there in stores ..

But, I guess they dont need extra marketing as they are gonna ripp us away anyway :yahoo:

wheres the hype

you think there would be a nice bit of hype and marketing for it from what ive seen its had alot of work put into it so i surely think it deserves a fair amount of fanfare

 

[randomiam]

delayed

ok ive heard from 2 casino supports that it is being delayed as it needed some last minute changes

 

[muziq]

just got a mail that its live at red flush any one tried?

 

[brianmon]

just got a mail that its live at red flush any one tried?

It's not on their download casino yet

 

[ashwin88]

Anyone played the slot yet ? Looks great, got a bit of money saved to play it.

 

[brianmon]

50 Free Spins from River Nile Casino.

The offer came via snailmail this morning.

But it's the only offer of free spins i've had so far. So i think they deserve my deposit.

When it actually arrives there. no AvalonII, as yet

 

[rainmaker]

.

I have seen it live at Betsson

 

[Kookaburra]

It is live now at 32red.

 

[Jory]

I thought 32red are suppose to get new games before any other casino?

I wonder how many days will pass before I get the usual free spins offer from Red Flush that I am not allowed to claim due to an error.

 

[Dinahnana]

It is live now at 32red.

Just checked 323red download version and Avalon II isn't there.
