Columbus Deluxe Demo (Novomatic) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Sail the seas with one of the world’s most famous explorers in the Columbus Deluxe slot from game provider Novomatic. Discover new lands as you spin with 5 reels and up to 10 paylines, where a high RTP rate of 97.03% can bring in cash rewards up to a maximum of 5,000x bet.

Columbus himself provides the main highlights of the base game by substituting for all other game symbols. Land a ship on reels 1, 3, and 5 for the bonus feature to begin, where you are awarded 10 free spins with the scatter symbols now also counting as wilds.

It was way back in 1492 when Christopher Columbus first set foot onto American soil, with residents of the U.S.A. now honouring that historical moment with a federal holiday each year, which typically takes place in the 2nd week of October. Such memorable moments make fantastic ideas for slot machines, and Novomatic wants to take you on a voyage in their Columbus Deluxe slot. This game marks a trio of iconic releases from the Novomatic group, and if you wish to try out the others, then take a look at our Luck Lady’s Charm Deluxe demo and the Dolphin’s Pearl Deluxe demo slot.

Our first major discovery upon opening the game is the paytable, where we find the usual royal symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K, and Ace making up the lower pays. Higher paying symbols are the Sextant, Necklace, Queen Isabella, and Columbus, where a 5-of-a-kind win will pay 25x, 50x, 100x, and 500x, respectively. Players should note that Columbus also acts as the wild symbol in the game, substituting for all in-game symbols bar the scatter.

If your discovery of new continents in the demo slot of Columbus Deluxe was enjoyable, then you may want to try some real money play out on the slot. This can cost you from as little as €0.01 a spin up to a maximum of €50.

Those players who embark upon a nautical adventure on the Columbus Deluxe online slot will get to spin and play across a 5×3 reel format. Rather than the game having a fixed payline total, players can manually set the number of win lines that they would like active, ranging from 1 – 10. Other than Columbus doubling up as the wild symbol in the base game, there isn’t anything else of note to mention in that part of the slot. So, let’s look at the in-game features and see exactly what they are.

Gamble Feature

Not all versions of the Columbus Deluxe video slot will include the gamble feature, but the ones that do will allow you to gamble any wins you have achieved via the turn of a virtual card. If you can correctly guess the next card’s colour correctly, you will double your current winnings. An incorrect guess will mean losing any winnings you have accrued on that spin.

The bonus feature is triggered, and 10 free spins are awarded on the Columbus Deluxe slot when a ship scatter symbol lands on each of the reels 1, 3, and 5. Players should note that these are the only reels on which the scatters will appear. Once the feature has started, you’ll notice that the scatter symbols also act as wild symbols, thus increasing your chances of hitting a 5-of-a-kind premium win.

Additional free spins can be awarded if the ship scatters again land on reels 1, 3, and 5. Not only will this reward you with an extra 10 spins, but you’ll often find that a hefty-sized win accompanies it due to the fact that the scatters are now acting as wilds.
