The Da Vinci Device

Rooted in the Renaissance era and awash with symbols representing some of Leonardo Da Vinci’s landmark creations, the Da Vinci Device equally entertains and informs as players aim to strike three or more icon combinations on a typical slot pay table.

The slot only provides a single screen setting, with no bonus rounds serving to relocate the player to new areas. The title still offers a wealth of engaging content, with free spin opportunities, wild features, and the charming Mona Lisa and Da Vinci himself for company.

The Da Vinci Device facilitates one basic bonus game, but its ability to re-trigger does afford players the potential to experience the special feature for extended periods of time.

The scatter symbol takes shape as a Cryptex, a vault used to store secret notes, which was inspired by the mind of Dan Brown, the author who famously penned the best-selling Da Vinci Code. Despite the Cryptex not featuring on Da Vinci’s extensive list of inventions and discoveries, the symbol provides the gateway for wins up to 1000 times the line stake.

Players will be rewarded with an allocation of between 8 and 16 free spins, rising in increments dependent on the number of Cryptex that appear across the board. A multiplier function also exists in the bonus round, which can be between 2x and 4x the wild and will be assoicted with any wins from that wild symbol. The wild takes the form of the Vitruvian Man. The image Da Vinci used to convey body proportionality in science and art.

Delicate, tranquil guitar music sets the tone for a classy, relatively reserved atmosphere, as a more cordial environment replaces the bright lights and fast pace of many slot titles.

The tea-stained reel board adds a ‘middle-ages’ feel, whilst the constant reminder of Da Vinci’s greatness serves to re-enforce his impact on the contemporary age. The cogs turning on either side of the screen are a pleasing visual aesthetic which supports the overall theme.

The title was developed in 1x2 Gaming’s creative studio in 2019 and can be enjoyed equally across all static and portable devices.

Da Vinci’s Mystery, produced by NetEnt subsidiary Red Tiger Gaming is a good option for those keen to learn more about the much-revered scientist, artist and pioneer. Whilst the classic Super 7’s by slots provider Pragmatic Play offers the same, no-frills pay table framework.

The base game operates in a traditional slot format, with players requiring a straight line of three or more consistent symbols, heading from the first reel onwards.

As per most conventional slots, the pay table is configured in a three-high, five-wide structure. There are a respectable 243 pay lines available, a number which clearly increases exponentially when the bonus feature is triggered.

As well as the classic card deck icons familiar with most gaming titles, the Da Vinci Device integrates many images and objects synonymous with the famous Italian scholar. The middling value items, whose combinations accrue up to eight times the line wager, include Da Vinci’s flying machine and helical rotor machine, as well as an amulet and polyhedron. The globe, a self-portrait, and the seminal Mona Lisa painting represent the highest value symbols.

As alluded to previously, the Da Vinci Device is a fairly simply built slot, which rather defies the level of complexity associated with its muse.

However, the confirmation feature located at the bottom of the screen, which clearly explains how wins were generated on each spin, is a welcome addition for those getting to grips with how the payout system works.

Players can bet anywhere between £0.25 and £20 per spin, allowing the slot to be easily accessible for beginners and more experienced gamers.
