It’s time to journey to the high seas as this particular adventure called 1429 Uncharted Seas happens almost six hundred years ago and 53 years before Christopher Columbus sailed out to try and reach Japan. Developed by Thunderkick, this online slot harkens back to an era wherein explorers set out expecting to go up against monsters and mermaids, many never to return.

1429 is a five-reel slot that has 25 fixed paylines with the reels sporting clever design.

Before you sail off to your ocean adventure, you must first regulate your bets. There are 25 fixed paylines to bet on. The coin size ranges from 0.10 to 100. The “Au­tos­pin­” option turns the reels automatically without interruption for a chosen number of times. Once you are ready, simply hit “Spin” and you’re off!

Aesthetically speaking, this is one of the most impressive looking slots that players will ever come across. The map backdrop is rendered in a style befitting the era, with land at all four corners of the slot, each corner featuring an angel blowing wind across the sea. The sea itself takes up most of the map and this is where the symbols of the slot appear, although not on reels as you’d normally find, simply set against the sea.

There is some animation to be seen during the game, especially with the expanding wild, wherein gamers will see a serpent lift the ship into the air. When landing the free spins feature, players will also see a clip of the sea in stormy seas, this round set against a much darker backdrop with lightning flashing across the symbols.

The soundtrack suits the mood of the game – all of the sounds that accompany the slot serves only to further enhance the theme and will keep punters engaged for many hours.

When it comes to the actual gameplay, this slot is not too diverse from any other slot, with the wild and the free spins round found at many games of identical ilk. However, what sets this apart is the overall game experience – the plush graphics and the engaging sound raise this game up above many of its competitors.

This is a slot that players would most definitely return to and rightfully so.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

The symbols are markings on a map, crude drawings of different sea creatures are surrounded by roughly-sketched land. Lighter patches move slowly across the reels, giving the impression of a slowly moving ship.

All the symbols look as if they belong on this ancient map and include a mermaid, a turtle, a squid, a lobster, and a freaky fish along with sun, moon and star icons. The wild symbol is the ship on which players are traveling on and the scatter is the compass, which activates the feature.

BONUS ROUNDS

Stacked Wild

The stacked wild appears only on reels two, three and four but when it lands, a gigantic monster will arise from the surface, stretching to cover all reels and giving players more opportunities to land winning combos.

Free Spins

The compass symbol is crucial here and players will need to land three or more to get the following rewards:

• Three compasses = 10 spins
• Four compasses = 20 spins
• Five compasses = 50 spins

Landing the compass again will grant players five more spins up to a maximum of fifty. Therefore, if you get 50 spins by landing five triggering compasses, more compasses will not give you extra spins.
