Diamonds For Da Vinci's Birthday
Date Added: April 14, 2009
April the 15th is Leonardo Da Vinci’s birthday. He is hailed by many not only as the greatest artist of all time but also as the greatest genius ever. The birthday of such a colossus needs to be celebrated and what better way than playing the online slot game Da Vinci Diamonds.
Da Vinci Diamonds takes players to the Renaissance period. It was the opulence of that period that funded and fuelled the arts. Da Vinci Diamonds has both. The opulence is represented by an array of precious stones of a variety of shapes and colors. The art is represented by a choice selection of Da Vinci’s paintings. The enigmatic Mona Lisa is obviously there. Also present is the Portrait of Cecelia Gallerani or the Lady with an Ermine. The Portrait of a Young Man with his striking red head gear can be seen on the reels. The angel from Madonna on the Rocks, a painting made controversial by Dan Brown’s novel The Da Vinci Code also makes an appearance. And there are no prizes for guessing which are more valuable – the precious stones or the paintings. Players can consider themselves scions of the Medici family who try to collect both.
Da Vinci Diamonds is a 5 reel and 20 payline slot game that allows players to wager up to 5 coins per line. The coin denomination varies from $0.01 to $5.00. The Da Vinci Diamond Logo takes the pride of place. Five of these symbols in an active payline yield a jackpot of 5,000 coins, which at max line bet amounts to $125,000. One of the gems is a wild symbol. Three or more Bonus symbols trigger the free spins bonus round. In this round players receive only six free spins but plenty of other benefits. All twenty paylines become active automatically. Several symbols become scatter symbols during free spins and offer scatter payouts. For that to happen, only three of such symbols need to appear anywhere on the reels. Free spins can be re-triggered again and again up to 300 times.
The highlight of the Da Vinci online slot game is Tumbling Reel feature. This is a unique feature found both in the normal spins and the free spins. In this feature the winning paylines disappear and the reels tumble to take the place of the empty slots. By doing so if more winning combinations are arrived at then the process repeats. This animated process is fascinating to watch. Some of the usual animations are also present. Da Vinci’s masterpieces light up when they line up in winning combinations.
Da Vinci Diamonds was released in June 2008 by WagerWorks.
