One of the most rewarding slot machines available at Playtech powered casinos is Monty Python’s Spamalot.
For those of you unfamiliar with the franchise, Monty Python was one of the most popular Comedy sketch shows to be aired on British television and ran for four series from 1969 until 1974, and then a feature film was produced in 1975 titled ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ which truly cemented their legacy in British comedy. Many television shows and movies have been created based on the original series since then, and in 2005 it hit the Broadway stage titled ‘Spamalot’, the title based on a popular line from the series stating ‘we eat ham, and jam, and spam a lot’.
The Monty Python Spamalot slot machine was released at online casinos using Playtech software in 2012 and has actually become one of their main slots, largely thanks to the incredible progressive jackpot featured in it, which is currently worth a jaw dropping £1,516,567!
The slot contains 5 reels and 20 paylines, with coin values ranging from £0.01 to £1, meaning you can play it for a maximum of £20 each spin. As you would expect from a licensed slot machine, Spamalot includes many of the main characters from the show as symbols with King Arthur, Lady of the Lake, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad all featured. However, it’s the incredible bonus features incorporated in Spamalot where you will find the really big rewards!
Progressive Jackpots: There are actually two progressive jackpots available on Spamalot – a small one which is hit very frequently (usually a few times each day), and the life changing Holy Grail Jackpot which is often worth over £1 million. In order to have a shot at the progressive jackpot you must activate the free spins mode by landing three scatter symbols on the reels at one time. You are then rewarded with 10 free spins and once you collect five Holy Grails symbols on the middle reel you will activate the Holy Grail Bonus Feature where you get the opportunity to win the progressives, with six levels to play through before you get the opportunity of winning the life changing jackpot.
On top of this there are four exciting slots bonus games which are played in order and simply require you to land a cloud symbol on both the first and fifth reel on the same spin. Here are more details on each of the four games this feature activates:
Storm The Castle: This mini-game sees you select one of six positions to stand, with the aim being avoiding the position where the French soldiers launch cows, with the game ending if you are struck.
None Shall Pass: In this game you will battle with the Black Knight with up to four strikes available, and each one that lands will see him lose a limb. This feature also contains a multiplier ladder which is worth 5x should your first strike land, but will decrease if you miss.
The Knights Who Say Ni: This is a ‘pick me’ bonus game where you must select from a range of shrubs, with each one containing a different value. Interestingly you can choose to reject the amount in the hope of selecting another with a higher value, but there is a maximum of three attempts.
The Killer Rabbit: This is another ‘pick game’ where you must select which rock the rabbit is hiding behind, however each wrong guess lowers the amount you can win.
