About Columbus Deluxe
Designed and developed by Novomatic, Columbus Deluxe isn’t actually that different from the original Columbus slot which preceded it. Of course, this Novomatic game contains far better graphics than its predecessor and has a better payline structure, prize and wagering range, but that’s about all there is to it, really. Columbus Deluxe features 10 very adjustable lines over its 5 reels, and plenty of Middle Ages inspired imagery upon them. The Columbus Deluxe slot allows players to bet up to 100 coins per line (coins are fixed at 0.01 in value, though), giving this Christopher Columbus/New World-themed slot a floor bet of just 0.01 per line per spin, and a ceiling bet which is capped at just 10.00 per spin. Play with the maximum wager and you might just be able to land a win which is worth around 500,000 coins in the slot. To do that, you’re going to need to land 5 of the Christopher Columbus symbols on any active payline.
Special Features
Columbus himself appears as a wild in the game. Wilds are worthwhile since they can replace all but scatters, and since they offer you the non-progressive jackpot. There is nothing exactly out of the blue with these standard symbols, though.
Scatter icons appear as Columbus’ vessel. This ship symbol appears as three distinct symbols, and landing all 3 of them on the reels during a single spin will trigger the slot machine’s only bonus round, which is a basic and simple free games feature.
Gamble possibilities have been included in this game and can be activated following any win. You don’t get much bounce for your buck with this feature, though, so it isn’t really worth mentioning it anymore.
Bonus Feature
Players shouldn’t have any difficulty getting to grips with the free spins bonus round in Columbus Deluxe. It offers a total of 10 free spins, but that is about all there is to it. There are no multipliers and no added perks. What you see is what you get, and what we see is very little. Columbus Deluxe may be a step up on the original Columbus slot, but it is still miles away from being a decent slot by any stretch of the imagination.
