Columbus Deluxe Slot

The Novomatic slot presents the potential of winning a massive 10 000 coins, should you win the jackpot with 5 ‘wilds’ across a single payline.

Slot Theme

Christopher Columbus was a 15th Century Italian born navigator, explorer, and colonizer under the auspices of the Spanish Monarchy (Queen Isabella of Spain), who is famous for having founded and colonized the Americas, after having originally thought it was India.

Our reels are placed neatly on to the background of navigational charts in the captain’s quarters of a ship. From here you will aid our distinguished explorer in finding new lands, and could reap the rewards for doing so.

Symbols and Soundtrack

Regular gameplay is very simple, with no musical soundtrack, only the generic casino sounds of rolling reels, and pay alerts. Activate the free spins round however, and you will experience the epic saga of historic exploration come alive with dramatic orchestral music.

The low-end symbols are merely traditional card deck symbols which are ornately designed to capture the writing style of the 15th century. The theme of the game is brought to bear at the introduction of the higher paying symbols, which are: A navigational instrument, golden necklace, Queen Isabella of Spain, and Christopher Columbus, himself, who is also the ‘wild’ symbol for the game. The ‘wild’ will substitute for any of the standard symbols, excluding the scatter icon. This means that winning combinations will more easily be made with the ‘wild’ present on the payline.

There are different scatter symbols of 3 ships, which symbolize the 3 vessels that accompanied Columbus on his search for India, and his discovery of America, namely: The Santa Maria, the Nina, and the Pinta; each baring the recognisable Spanish white sails with red crosses.

Bonus Features

Gamble Feature

This feature can be activated after any win, by pressing the “Gamble” button. A playing card is dealt to you face down and it will be required of you to guess the colour of the card (red or black) to double your last win amount. You can carry on playing the guessing game as many times as you want to, doubling your win each time, or you can stop taking a risk and collect on your winnings, because if you guess wrong you will lose it all.

Free Spins Bonus Feature

Land 3 of the ship scatter symbols on any position on any of the reels, and you will be awarded with 10 free spins, which can be re-triggered, should you re-spin 3 scatters on the screen throughout the feature.

The only notable changes to this game in this feature, is that the scatter symbols turn gold, and slow orchestral soundtrack begins to play to engulf you in what is made out to be an epic saga.
