Leonardo Da Vinci boasted one of the greatest minds in human history and some of his most famous creations are present on the reels - you’ll see a gold goblet and a flying machine which pay up to 1,500 coins per payline as well as the famous Vitruvian Man drawing which awards up to 4,000 coins.
The most rewarding symbol is the Mona Lisa who pays 200, 2,000 or 10,000 coins if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline. Those same payouts are on offer from the wild which replaces all other symbols bar the scatter and bonus. The masonic symbol is the that scatter. It awards up to 1,000 coins. It doesn’t trigger any bonus features though.
For that, you’ll need to land 3 of the scroll symbol. You’ll then trigger the Free Spins feature where you’ll receive an undefined number of free spins. Look out for the skull symbol - when it lands anywhere on the middle reel, it will turn wild. The free spins continue until you land the skull 3 times. If you play Da Vinci’s Vault on your mobile or tablet device, you will benefit from double Skull wild wins.
You can also play the Hi Roller feature - this costs you 10 times your spin value and is a series of 5 linked spins. Here you have to collect bronze, silver and gold seals and unlock the Vault Wheel. Land the bronze wheel and you’ll spin to win a cash prize. Land the silver wheel and cash prizes and free spins are on offer. Cash prizes and free spins are also on offer in the gold wheel. You can also unlock an inner wheel where bigger cash prizes and free spins can be won.
The design here is very nicely done. The imagery has a slightly sinister feel and there’s a deliciously creepy soundtrack to accompany your spins. This isn’t the most volatile slot game you’ll see as the variance is in the low to medium range offering plenty of play for your investment.
If you’ve ever read Dan Brown’s famous books you’ll find plenty that’s familiar here. It’s a simple enough game but with decent design and features it’s worth venturing into Da Vinci’s Vault. If you like Da Vinci, Da Vinci Diamonds from IGT and Secret Code from Net Entertainment are recommended.
