About Castaway
The Castaway video slot has been designed and developed by Leander Games, and is about as simple as you like. The game mainly features playing cards as its symbols. This is probably fairly accurate, though. What else are you likely to have on a desert island to pass the time? Castaway therefore carries a lot of different symbols, and that can make it challenging. This game is actually an amalgamation between poker, and slot machine gaming. The title contains a total of 5 reels, with players able to bet on a total of 30 lines. You will basically be trying to build the best hand you can on those paylines, which can be adjusted. Line bets vary from 0.01 up to 0.50, so you’ll end up betting anything from 0.01 per line, per spin, up to 15.00 per spin in this slot. At most, you can hope to scoop a top win of 500 coins playing Castaway.
Special Features
There are many special features appearing in this slot machine game, but you do still have t be quite lucky to stand a chance of landing them. Wild symbols take the shape of a castaway himself, and can substitute themselves for all other icons, save for scatter and bonus icons. Wild symbols don’t offer any monetary values of their own.
Scatter icons are in the shape of the Ace of Hearts, and can offer scattered wins when 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 of them appear in any position on the screen. Scatter icons offer wins of 1x, 5x, 10x, 20x, or 40x your total bet, for each respective one which appears on the reels. Three or more of these will trigger a free spins bonus round, or a Multi-hand Infinite Hold ‘em bonus.
Players can activate a “Spin n’ Poker” feature on the side of the reels, and in this bonus, players can attempt to form a winning poker hand, to win cash prizes from a poker pay-table. It doesn’t really have much to do with the slot per se, but it is a nice distraction from the main game.
Bonus Feature
The player will find the free spins bonus rather endearing. Players will have won between 10 and 30 free spins, depending on how many scatters they located to trigger the bonus. During the bonus, you can win additional free games by landing more scatters. Extra wild symbols are added to the reels, although no multipliers are present in this free spins game.
The other bonus round is the Multi-hand Infinite Hold’em bonus, and in this feature, players are again invited to form a winning poker hand, with a top prize of 500 coins there for you to win, over 3-7 Texas Hold’em poker hands.
