How The Sword and the Grail plays
Mechanically, it's lean by design. You've got a standard 5-reel, 3-row grid with 20 fixed paylines, so the base game is plain on purpose. The whole machine is engineered toward the free spins, triggered by three or more sword scatters, which on this kind of variance you'll see about once in 83 spins. That's a long wait, and your balance will bleed in between.
The bonus is a staged collection grind. You start with x2 multiplier wilds and have to collect six swords to reach stage two (x5 wilds), then five more swords for stage three (x10), and the final stage is where the grail wild can carry a x100 multiplier. The honest reality: most bonuses fizzle in the early stages and pay modestly. The 10,000x ceiling exists, but it sits behind a deep stage chain that few sessions ever reach.
The catch, plainly: the official RTP is a fair 96.53%, but Play'n GO ship this title with configurable lower versions down to 84.63%. That's a punishing gap. The same game at a dodgy operator can quietly return far less, and you usually can't tell from the lobby. Before you spin, check the game-info screen for the actual RTP your casino has set, and if it isn't shown, treat that as a red flag and play somewhere licensed and transparent. There's no bonus buy here, so you can't shortcut the variance, which is arguably a mercy. 18+, and never spin money you can't afford to lose.

What is the max win on The Sword and the Grail?
