Wilhelm Tell is a video slot by Novomatic AG, released in 2009 and based on German folklore. The game uses five reels and nine fixed paylines, with a mix of classic symbols such as cherries, lemons, oranges, bells and bars, alongside themed icons including an apple, a crossbow, a deer and Wilhelm Tell himself.
The crossbow functions as the wild symbol and replaces all regular symbols except the bonus symbol. When a crossbow wild lands, it can expand to cover the full reel, which may create multiple winning combinations on the same spin. Three or more apple scatter symbols trigger the free spins feature, awarding 10 spins with a multiplier that increases after each consecutive win during the bonus round.
The slot has an estimated RTP of 95.5% and medium volatility, indicating a balanced win pattern. Players can use the demo version to play for free and practice before playing for real money, while reviewing the payline structure and bonus features in a risk-free format.
