Gaelic Warrior Slots
Ancient Irish history and traditions are fascinating, and Gaelic Warrior is an invitation to dive into this rich universe – in the form of a video slot game.
This Casino Technology creation provides all the features players love in a slot game, within a classic and fun universe.
So without further ado, let’s travel back in time and mingle with the fierce warriors of the Emerald Isle!
Ancient Warriors and Mighty Castles
The universe of Gaelic Warrior is one of knights and magic, ready to defend their country against any invader foolish enough to wander on their territory. As such, the game has an aura of magic and is set on an otherworldly background representing a fortified castle draped in a blue mist. A number of stone steps lead to the entrance, but the castle looks well defended.
The reels are shown on a solid block of wood lightly framed by representations of nature such as flowers and autumn leaves, as well as a few swords and daggers. This blending of power and nature is perhaps how the developers’ team wanted to show Gaelic culture, and it is quite pleasant to the eye in any case.
There isn’t much of a musical atmosphere to the game, albeit a generic melody played as the reels spin. Regardless, Gaelic Warrior is colourful and mysterious enough to catch the eye and make players wonder about its gameplay.
Prepare for Battle
Gaelic Warrior is played on a classic setup consisting of five spinning reels and a maximum of 25 paylines. All the commands you will need in order to make the most of this 5-reel slot game are located at the bottom of the screen, below the reels. A good place to start is the red button allowing you to choose the Coin Value you prefer, between 0.01 and 0.2. Once established, take a look right above the switch to find the Lines and Bet setting. Click on them in order to determine how many coins you wish to bet, and on how many paylines. The amount of your wager will be displayed directly below. The two next displays show your total amount of credits and the size of your latest win.
Once you are satisfied with your game setting, you can either hit the blue Start button to spin the reels, or use the Autoplay slot function right next to it and determine how many automatic spins you want to bet on. After each winning spin, you will have to chance to try your luck a little further with the Gamble function. Click the corresponding button and guess either the colour or the suit of a hidden card. A good guess of the former will double your wins, and the latter will quadruple them! Be careful though, as even if you can play as many times as you want a single mistake will make all your earnings disappear forever.
Common Icons and a Few New Faces
Let’s take a look at the reel symbols of Gaelic Warrior. There are nine basic symbols that you are most likely to encounter as you play, and a 10th one that has a lot of surprises in store for us.
Beginning with the more classic icons, we find here again the ever-popular playing card-inspired icons starting from number 10 and all the way up to the Ace. The high frequency with which they show up compensates their low coin value.
Things get more interesting with the two next symbols, an Axe and a Dagger. First of all visually speaking, as they display a beautiful and detailed design, and on the monetary side as well: their winning combinations start with only two identical symbols, and their five-of-a-kind combo pays noticeably more.
The two most valuable symbols are the old Mage and the Princess, who alone can trigger the game’s jackpot and make you considerably richer!
Special Features
Keep an eye out for the Prince: he is both the Wild card and Scatter of the game. As a Wild symbol, he can substitute any other symbol and help create extra winning combos. As a Scatter, three of more of him on screen trigger a 12 Free Spin Bonus.
In Bonus mode, each Prince symbol turns into a Shield. Collect Shields as you play to trigger some extra bonuses: 3 to 12 Shields triple your Bonus wins, 21 to 25 trigger 12 more Free Spins and from 26 Shields your wins are multiplied by 600!
Classic Look and Big Wins
Gaelic Warrior has a classic feel and look, with a quite common theme and not so astounding realization in terms of graphics or gameplay.
However, the game makes up for it all with its original Bonus mode and super high stakes, which will keep you hooked in no time.
