Columbus Deluxe is a video slot built by Novomatic, a company who use Chartwell Gaming technology for their games. It has five reels, ten paylines and includes scatters, wilds and free spins. It also features an impressive maximum jackpot of $100,000, which would be more than enough to experience your own Columbus style adventures (although these days we'd suggest taking a plane).

Columbus Deluxe Theme

The reels dominate the screen, leaving enough room above and below for important information. The designers have used the top area for the slots logo which is backed by an old fashioned sepia sea chart whilst the lower area is used for buttons.

Most of the reel icons follow a nautical theme with Columbus naturally taking a lead role. Other icons include the Queen of Spain, sextants, the ship Hispaniola(three different angles), a Spanish gold necklace, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace.

Betting Options and More Functions

Novomatic has worked in a handy automatic spin function, which other Chartwell slots often don't have. This allows you to choose 5 to 25 auto spins which play rapidly, but can be stopped at any time.

Columbus Deluxe Slot Features

Columbus plays as a joker, aka wild card. It can substitute for every icon except the Hispaniola ships.

Three Hispaniola ships in a row will award ten free spins. During these spins the Columbus symbol and Hispaniola ships are all wild. You can even retrigger free spins if three more ships appear during the feature.

Our Take on Columbus Deluxe

Christopher Columbus is one of the most celebrated explorers of all time, known for making four voyages to America as well as forming trade routes with countless other countries. Over the years his name has spawned books, films and a surprising number of slots. Our point is that there's great demand for historical games, and this one combines plenty of features which meld history with entertaining slot play.
