1429: Uncharted Seas

About the slot machine 1429: Uncharted Seas

Prepare to plunge into oceans that have not been sailed before. In 1429: Uncharted Seas, we venture to a period when Earth's oceans were far more murky and enigmatic than they are now. Seafarers told tales of enormous monsters that would pull whole ships down to the bottom of the ocean, and without the luxury of GPS, one had to find their way by the stars and the sun. So slip out of your current reality for a bit and rejoin us as we set off on all manner of dangerous escapades in this slot game from developer Thunderkick.

1429: Uncharted Seas is more conventional than some of Thunderkick's other slot titles. Here, we get a layout that feels normal with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 fixed bet lines. Like most of their other games, the stakes are quite accessible, ranging the minimum the casino sets, so you should have no problem finding a level that feels good to you. The potential max win is a nice round number: an amount set by the casino. The theoretical return is also really nice: 98.6%. You won't find a better number in slot games.

Symbols and functions

Expanding Wild

This slot machine has an expanding wild symbol, so to speak. You undoubtedly are already aware that wild symbols possess the property of being able to replace other symbols, and in doing so, help to bring in more and bigger winnings. Expanding wilds can also cover an entire reel at a time, giving even greater winning opportunities.

In 1429: Uncharted Seas, found on reels 2, 3, and 4, are Wilds that perform a special function—expanding—but only when they are part of a winning combination. This is a particular kind of Wild that doesn't just make the game easier by showing up more often, but that also rewards players for the right kinds of outcomes.

Bonus symbol

The game's second special symbol is the bonus symbol, depicted as a compass. This symbol is the gateway to the game's free spin rounds. When 3 bonus symbols appear, the player is awarded 10 free rounds; 4 bonus symbols yield 20 free rounds, and 5 bonus symbols grant a staggering 50 free rounds. What kind of law assists in ensuring that all the winnings incurred during this sequence roll in at the casino's expense?

Summary

We are fond of 1429: Uncharted Seas. This video slot is basically quite simple, but it packs most of the punch that a video slot can. The design and graphics are, as usual with Thunderkick, put together really well. There aren't “too many” nodes of interactivity (the bar is set high after you play a few in-play bonus games), but that just means 1429: Uncharted Seas operates cleanly. Odds of well over a million NZD, and a really high hit rate, make this a slot that also has weight at the cashout counter.
