The Great Casini Slot Machine
Slip on your top hat and white gloves and disappear back to the start of the nineteenth century when you play Amaya Gaming’s The Great Casini. Built around the theme of a vintage magic show, The Great Casini offers several tricks up its sleeve as you travel along its 5 reels and 15 fixed paylines. Try your hand at knife-throwing in the exciting mini Bonus game, or fill up your pockets when you trigger multiple rounds of Free Spins.
Abracadabra!
This richly-colored game is set atop a scroll that lies across a theater background. Two rows of gray seats sit at the bottom of the screen, while the rest of the background features long red velvet curtains. Drawn in a slightly dark style, the symbols will all remind you of tricks performed at childhood magic shows. Lower-valued symbols are borrowed from the magician’s card deck and the J, Q, K, and A are all rendered in a style that brings to mind antique board games.
Higher-valued symbols include a set of silver cups, a padlocked box, a cloth-draped birdcage and a sparkling cannon. The Wild symbol showcases a pair of gloved hands dealing a deck of cards, and The Great Casini shows up on the Free Spins symbol.
Magical Features
Like any good magician, The Great Casini enjoys appearing in front of the crowds, so expect to see him and his Free Spins icon showing up on a fairly regular basis. He only appears on reels 1 and 5, but when he does both at once, you’ll get 3 free spins. These roll out quickly and any wins achieved will be subject to a 3X multiplier.
Scatter wins are also possible via the Magic Handkerchief and Magic Egg Scatter icons. If 3 of them appear on a single spin, they can help complete winning paylines that otherwise wouldn’t count.
Knife Throwing Bonus
The Knife Throwing Bonus feature is a mini-game that you get to play whenever the top hat Bonus symbol appears on a winning payline on reels one, two and three. The screen then switches to one showcasing a lovely woman attached to the middle of a wooden wheel.
You’ll then click the “Throw” button to throw two knives at the wheel. If you hit two prizes, you win the amount shown and the game ends. Advance to round two by hitting The Great Casini, and you’ll find bigger prizes there. If you’re lucky enough to hit Casini again, you’ll get to advance to the third level and have a chance of winning the highest valued prizes.
Low- to Mid-Limit Betting Menu
The Great Casini isn’t exactly created for those who thrive on making huge bets. Coin values include 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.25. Since you’re required to bet on all 15 lines with every spin, the lowest you can wager is 0.15 and the highest, 37.50.
Conclusion
Definitely tailored toward those more comfortable with making smaller bets, The Great Casini is still a lot of fun as it features a really unique theme that conjures up images of childhood fun.
