“They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom”! Is the famous line from Braveheart which now lives on in Cryptologic's 5 reel, 25 pay line slot which features a 10,000 jackpot in various currencies.

Braveheart Slot Theme

Mel Gibson’s epic character for the hit film Braveheart forms the basis of this slot. The background, reels, icons and features are all designed around the story of William Wallace and his battle to free Scotland from the English.

Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, Longshanks, fair maidens, shields, swords, kilts, Scottish Thistles and broadswords all fill the reels, sitting static until a win spins in. The sound effects compliment the action perfectly, this is something that Crypto do well and sets them aside from other themed slot providers.

Bets range from 0.01 to 20 per line, with a maximum of 25 lines available to play on each spin. This provides a huge scope of bets, the smallest wager per spin is just 0.01 whilst the maximum is 500. This is available in multiple currencies although the reels may still state the amount in dollars.

Braveheart Slot Features

The Braveheart symbol is the wild card, it doubles all wins when substituting for other symbols. The only symbols it can substitute for are the scatter, bonus and jackpot symbols.

Three battle axe and sword scatter activates free spins, these can be retriggered if three or more scatters appear during the free spins. The bonus game also draws inspiration from the film, it forms part of the free spins round. When a Braveheart symbol appears it adds a point to the Scottish side, the Longshanks symbol adds one to the English. If the Scottish are winning at the end of the free spins an additional multiplier of up to 100 is applied to the line bet.

Another interesting instant win feature is entitled ‘kilt lift’, which is activated when the kilt symbol appears simultaneously on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels. Two of the three symbols contain an instant cash prize, pick them to claim it whilst trying to avoid the empty ‘kilt’.
