Antique Riches Slot
I say, what a fine little slot machine we have here, old chaps. Dust off the shelves, raid the attic and hunt for a bargain with this antique themed slot machine by Genesis Gaming.
The 5 reels and 25 paylines are jam-packed with all sorts off old titbits and bric-a-brac from the world of antiques – some of which is a load of old rubbish and some of which might just be worth a small fortune. Punters will be able to find out just how much each item is worth with a unique bonus gameplay element in which antiques are collected and then auctioned off during an exciting round of free spins.
The antiques slot-show
We just can't get enough of antiques. As a rich nation of cultural and family heritage, there is at least one important heirloom in each and every British family, and often some of far more expensive than others. Just to prove how mad we are for antiques, just turn on any British TV during the daytime hours and you will find some sort of antique-themed game show or evaluation programme. Let's face it, we all just like to keep that idea in the back of our mind that there is something incredibly valuable stashed away in the corner of our attics!
Well, never mind rummaging through boxes, because you can get stuck into some top-notch antique action with this 5-reel slot machine by Genesis Gaming, featuring a variety of interesting objects and items from history on the reels. There are old silver flagon, a delicately beautiful jewelled necklace, an old ornamental clock and a intricately designed china plate.
All of these symbols appear on the reels in truly elegant fashion thanks to some excellent artwork by the game's designers, which presents the objects within a wooden display cabinet in front of some luxurious blue velvet curtains.
Take the antiques to auction
Antique Riches also comes with a couple of special bonus symbols, both of which are depicted as logos of the game. The first of these logo icons is depicted in bold orange font within a square plaque, and this symbol will act as a wild to replace other icons to fill in successful line wins.
The only icon that cannot be substituted by the wild symbol is the slot machine's scatter, represented this time by a logo that uses a more dainty font within a circular border. This scatter icon only appears on the first and fifth reels of the game and, if two appear at the same time, then players will be asked to select one scatter and collect one antique item.
There are various antiques to collect, including old sewing machines, vintage cameras, old telephone devices, antique dolls, ivory plated handguns, oriental bowls and early globes. The aim of the game is to collect as many of these items as possible and stashing them up on the shelf above the reels. After five antique items have been collected, players will be taken to a new screen where an antique expert will offer 15 different items to pick from, offering cash prizes as long as a “Forgery” is avoided.
After 10 objects have been collected, spinners will be treated to 10 free games with the same bet value and line quantity as the triggering spin. Plus, every time that a scatter appears during these free spins, a collected antique will be auction off for random bonus prizes. If all 10 items are successfully sold, then punters will be “rewarded handsomely”. That doesn't sound like a bad deal to us at all!
Line up the riches
When it comes to placing bets, players will have to toggle with three variable factors. The first of these factors is the number of active paylines in play, of which there is a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 25. After that, punters can choose how to play with 1 to 10 coins on each active payline worth between 0.01 and 0.40 credits. So, all in all, there is a possibility to play with as little as 0.01 credits per spin or as much as 100.00 credits per spin, with plenty of scope in between to suit all strategies. Players should note, however, that altering the total bet value at any time in the game will cause all collected antiques to be forfeited.
All of the standard play wins in this slot machine are presented as line bet multipliers, meaning that bettors simply have to line up two or more matching icons to apply the following multipliers to the value of the wager on the winning line:
The real deal
The world of antiques may have a reputation for being a bit dull and stuffy, but Antique Riches proves the contrary with its exciting range of winning opportunities. Because, not only can players rack up their wins by finding lines of matching symbols for a 1,000x line bet multiplier, but they can also pick up some extra bonus boosts by collecting a range of fascinating antiques to sell off in a free spin auction round.
