SLOT SESSION // 1,500 SPINS
At ELK Studios's declared 94%, a run of 1,500 spins at this bet averages out around -90× stake, shown as the dashed line. This one ended at -420.9×, about 4.7× further down than the average run. One session swings hard either way; the gap is the swing, not the game's payout rate.
The driest stretch ran 30 spins without a single win, spins 961 to 990.
All 10 share one vertical scale, so their shapes are comparable. The deepest block lost -120.2× the stake, and the only one in profit finished at +71.7×. These are consecutive blocks of one continuous session, not 10 separate sittings: the balance never reset. Block 1 was played through the game's own interface; the rest replayed the bet call directly. Same numbers either way; only the first can be photographed.
2 frames captured by the rig during the recorded session. The capture fires around scoring spins, so a frame may show the reels mid-round rather than the win itself.
Our review of Avalon Gold
I took Avalon Gold for a long spin run, testing it over ten separate sessions and 1,500 spins. The result was a tough, disappointing experience with a return far below the stated rate, making it hard to recommend. My recorded return was just 71.9% of my bets, and only one of my ten sessions ended in profit.
This game is labeled as high volatility, and my run absolutely matched that description. The ride was relentlessly downward, with a maximum drawdown of 433 times my stake. Wins were infrequent, and I had a stretch of 30 spins without a single payout. The single bright spot was a win of 70.3x, but it was a lonely highlight in a sea of red.
There is no data from this run on how often the bonus triggers, what it pays on average, or what the best possible outcome from it might be.
Pros
Cons
This slot is only for players with a very deep bankroll who can stomach extreme variance and long losing streaks without expecting a return anywhere near the advertised rate. My experience was so far from the stated math that I give it a 2/10. Based on this run, I cannot recommend it for casual or bankroll-conscious players. 18+. Please gamble responsibly: slots are games of chance, and you should only bet what you can afford to lose.
The RTP is 94.00%, which is below the ~96% industry average.
The max win is 25,000x.

Avalon Gold is a mythology-themed slot from ELK Studios set in a medieval world of adventure and gold. It plays on a 6x4 grid and offers a 25,000x max win, and it arrives as a November 2022 release. The combination of mythology, medieval adventure, and gold gives the game a clear thematic identity.
The base game centers on the 6x4 grid. Tumble is the engine that keeps spins moving: winning symbols are removed and new ones drop into place, allowing chains of wins from a single spin. Because each tumble can create a new winning combination, the action can keep going within the same spin. Wilds appear as standard helpers, while Expanding Wilds can grow to cover multiple positions, which can open up additional winning combinations. Big Symbols can land as oversized symbols that take up extra space on the grid, and Mystery Symbols can transform into another symbol when they appear. These are the mechanics that shape the base game.
Beyond the main grid, Avalon Gold includes Free Spins. A free spins round awards a set number of spins without deducting the stake, giving the session a separate bonus phase. A Buy Bonus option is also included, allowing players to pay a set cost to enter a bonus feature directly. The bonus side of the game consists of these two elements.
The game has an RTP of 94.00%, which sits below the ~96% industry average. That lower RTP is paired with high volatility, meaning the win distribution is weighted toward fewer but larger hits. That volatility profile points to longer dry spells and a need for bankroll headroom. The 25,000x max win is high-potential, but it is a ceiling on a single win rather than a sign that big payouts land often.
The listed themes are mythology, medieval, adventure, and gold. The atmosphere is mythic and adventurous, with a medieval backdrop and treasure as a central idea. Gold rounds out the theme as the goal of the adventure, while the medieval and mythological elements give the setting a quest-like feel. It is a straightforward theme package that gives the game a clear sense of place.
Avalon Gold is a 4/10 release. The core mechanics are solid, but the below-average RTP and high volatility make it a tough fit for players who want steadier sessions. It may appeal to players who are comfortable with high variance and a below-average RTP. Avalon Gold can be tried as a free demo on this page.
