Swintt, the seafaring software provider behind splash hits Aloha Spirit XtraLock, The Crown and Candy Gold is back for an all-new underwater adventure in its latest feature-packed slot release, Aqua Lord.
The latest game to be added to Swintt’s line-up of Premium titles, Aqua Lord features five reels, five fixed paylines and all the trappings that players will already know and love from its classic slot collection. Action takes place to a backdrop of the ocean floor, while unique symbols including dolphins, ornate vases and jewelled gauntlets line-up alongside the more familiar playing card values.
The mighty Aqua Lord himself features as the game’s highest-value symbol – awarding a jaw-dropping maximum payout of 5,000x players’ bet – but other special symbols to look out for include the numbered pearl icons and the now-instantly-familiar “Book” scatters, both of which activate features.
First up, landing three or more pearl symbols anywhere on the reels will automatically trigger the slot’s Pearl Feature. This popular bonus round has already appeared in a number of Swintt Premium games and will instantly transport players to a new set of reels, where further pearls replace all other icons.
At the start of the feature, players will be granted an initial three free re-spins, but whenever a pearl lands, it will lock in place as the counter is reset. This process will continue until either no new pearl symbols appear or all 15 reel spaces have been filled, at which point the numerical values on all pearls will be totted up and players will be awarded an instant prize before being returned to the base game.
The next feature is Aqua Lord is the “Book” Free Spins round – and again it will be a familiar one to anyone who’s already played Swintt Premium slots. Activated whenever three or more “Book” scatter symbols appear, players will receive 10 Free Spins as a special mystery symbol is selected at random.
Should this symbol appear during the Free Spins, it will expand to fill its reel, creating additional winning pay lines and boosting the game’s hit rate to a healthy 19.5%. Naturally, if a higher value symbol is selected to expand, the potential for big wins increases dramatically; with full table wins now an increasing likelihood as players swim away with potentially bankroll-boosting feature payouts.
As with the majority of games in the Swintt Premium collection, Aqua Lord also features an optional Risk game which can be activated at the end of any winning base game spin. Should players choose to take part in this rewarding mini-game, they’ll be given the opportunity to boost the value of their current win by guessing the colour or suit of a hidden playing card, with multiple risk rounds available.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Swintt is certainly no stranger to the treasures that lie beneath the waves – and in our latest Premium release, Aqua Lord, we’re giving players the chance to take the plunge and swim away with maximum wins of up to 5,000x their selected stake.
“Designed with the same pick-up-and-play appeal as other games in our Premium collection, the new slot boasts two of the studio’s most iconic bonus rounds in “Book” Free Spins and the popular Pearl Feature, meaning there are plenty of ways for players to make a big splash from their base game spins.”
