Avalon Becomes Mobile Slot

3/15/10 - The mobile gambling technology and games provider Spin3 has added a new video slot to its mobile gambling games inventory, launching Avalon this week.

The medieval-themed game is based on the legend of King Arthur and features a variety of symbols including crowns, chalices and treasure chests. The scatter symbol, the Lady of The Lake, gives players 12 free spins that offer winnings of up to 7 times their original bet. A free spin bonus game is activated if three or more Lady of The Lake symbols appear anywhere on the five reels at one time.

Avalon joins Spin3's portfolio of 19 Java games that includes Mermaid Millions, progressive slot game Mega Moolah offering the biggest progressive jackpot on mobile, and non-casino games such as Bingo Bonanza and the Royal Derby horse racing game.

Matti Zinder, Head of Spin3 said, "Avalon is a very popular game in online casinos and we're delighted to be able to include it in our portfolio of mobile casino games.

"In the last year, we have made great advances in developing web applications for smartphones with advanced web browsers like the iPhone and the Android. At the same time, our GameWire Java platform remains a fundamental part of our business. Java games enable us to support as broad a range of handsets and as many customers as possible; which is great news for our clients. In fact, at last count, we currently support close to 2 000 handsets -- more than any other provider."
