Yggdrasil and Reelplay embark on epic quest in Towering Pays™ Excalibur
Yggdrasil and ReelPlay are travelling back to the land of King Arthur in Towering Pays™ Excalibur.
The five reel, increasing paylines slot sees the Towering Pays™ mechanic return to the offering, with King Arthur himself acting as a wild.
When Excalibur lands on the reels, it will transform into stacked matching symbols for increased win potential.
If Excalibur symbols are present across a winning combination, players will progress to the next stage, which sees the reel set expand, adding an extra row atop the grid, which can continue until the grid is 5×8.
During base play, players can also purchase a Quest Bet, enabling a hold and spin feature, costing 15 units. This is then triggered if six or more shields occur on a single spin, or through the feature wheel.
Three feature wheels landing will activate the game’s wheel in full, with four levels of wheel available. These will award a variety of free spins, better feature wheel or win spins.
The Avalon feature is triggered when Excalibur lands on each of the first three reels in the 5×8 grid, offering huge win potential on every spin.
Four separate forms of free spins are available, Lancelot, Merlin, Arthur and Camelot, all of which have increasing prize multipliers, extended spins through the presence of Excalibur, and more modifiers for mammoth wins.
In certain jurisdictions, players can also progress straight to the bonus round through the Buy Feature.
Towering Pays™ Excalibur is the newest YG Masters release from ReelPlay and Games Labs, with the two working together to provide standout content across the initiative.
The title is powered by GATI, with Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Towering Pays™ Excalibur is another exciting addition to our offering that’s packed with modifiers, stages and features to appeal to players of all tastes.
“This truly epic quest allows players to wield the magical power of the legendary sword, Excalibur, as they are transported to the lands of Arthurian legend in search for big wins.”
David Johnson, CEO at ReelPlay, said: “Our collaboration with Games Labs has seen us create some incredible games and Towering Pays™ Excalibur is no exception. The engaging, immersive and feature-filled game takes players on a thrilling journey and offers an unforgettable experience.”

Checkd International, the North American sports betting specialist and part of the award-winning Checkd Group, has announced a successful first NFL season for its SmartPicks betting app with many huge milestones hit by users.
At the culmination of Super Bowl LIX in Louisiana, over one million bets had been added to bet slips through SmartPicks, as the informative and streamlined app proved it was a roaring success.
The new and improved SmartPicks app was launched in October, midway through the NFL season, and builds on existing technology used in the UK by the Manchester-based company, to provide a unique sports betting-focused app to the US.
There have been over six million page views on SmartPicks since the launch, equating to more than one million each month.
The apps prop tool, which sits front and centre, has been hugely popular with users, and over one million markets have been selected using this.
In the past five months, there have been more than 29,000 installs for the app as more users across America look to use this as their preferred choice when gambling.
SmartPicks Pro, which gives users even more access and is Checkd Group’s first-ever subscription model product, saw more than 8,000 users join throughout the NFL season, proving how vital this model will be for the business going forward.
SmartPicks was built in-house by Checkd Dev, the technology specialist division of Checkd Group, which has supported top-tier operators with new products in the past year, including Paddy Power’s Mix ’N Match bet building tool.
The success of SmartPicks continues to expand Checkd Group’s position in the US-based betting market through Checkd International’s on-the-ground presence, and 2024 saw a 187% increase in app searches for the business.
Commenting on the success, Callum Broxton, Head of US Operations at Checkd Group said: “We’re delighted to announce that our SmartPicks app has been greatly received in the American sports betting market, with millions of bets placed and thousands of new users choosing the market-leading technology provided this NFL season.
“The launch of SmartPicks Pro has proven successful for the business, and with plenty of positive feedback from users, means we are looking for further ways to tap into revenue subscription models as there is clear demand for this.
“As we enter a key stage of the NBA season and March Madness set to begin, we look forward to developing the app further and making betting even easier across America.”
