Columbus Deluxe Review
Columbus Deluxe is a 10-line Novomatic slot about Columbus's voyage. Columbus is wild, and the three ships start the free games and then turn into wilds themselves.
About the game
The scatter here is not one symbol but three: three different ships. You need one of each on the screen to start the free games.
Columbus Deluxe Features
Columbus wild
Columbus substitutes for every symbol except the ships and pays 5,000× the line bet for 5.
Free games
The three ships together give 10 free games. During the free games the ships substitute for all symbols, so they act as extra wilds. The three ships in the round give another 10 free games.
