Marco Polo slot machine is about the romantic, exotic trip to the East of the famous merchant, explorer, and treasures hunter.
Novomatic is the one of the leaders in the field of online gambling software development. This company is known for its interesting ideas and storylines. This is 5-reel and 9-lines slot with traditional wild symbol, free-spins-granting scatter, and a risk game.
Marco Polo slot machine interface is really user-friendly and easy-to-understand. You need to choose, how much coins each credit consists of using “Coin” button. “Play Lines” buttons stand for how many active pay lines there will be. The size of one bet is adjusted by “Bet One” button and you may make the biggest possible bet using “Bet Max”.
“Start” button has several functions. It activates free spins, lets you take your winning, and skip the process of spinning itself. To start auto play mode, you need to click on “Automatic Start” button. In this case, the reels will spin without interruption, until the player stops them.
To look through risk game rules, symbol combinations, and multipliers, you just need to click on “Info” button — the same button is used to turn the pages and leave the information section.
Symbols and multipliers of Marco Polo slot machine
Wild symbol of this slot, which replaces any symbols in combination and is the most profitable at the same time, is the image of Marco Polo himself. Anyone will be pleasantly surprised by the winnings it grants. The combination of 2 portraits multiplies the initial bet by 10 and 3 portraits increase it hundredfold. 4 Wilds turns every credit of initial bet into 1000. And at last, the whole line of Wild symbols means the super prize of 5000 credits.
Scatter is a picture of a camel with the night sky as a background. Three scatters in a row give 10 free spins.
As for other symbols, the most profitable (and the rarest of the ordinary symbols) is the picture of an Eastern old man. It grants 5, 50, 200, and 2000 credits instead of one of the initial bet, when two and more of such pictures appear in one line. The next is a mysterious jewelry-box. Once again, 2 and more of such items in one line multiply the initial number of credits in the bet by 5, 25, 100, and 750. Surprisingly, the treasure map is only the third most profitable symbol. The multipliers in its case are a bit smaller than those of jewelry-box — 5, 20, 75, 400.
Then the most common pictures seen on the reels come — the card symbols. A, K, Q, J, and 10 differ in the winnings they give to the winner, but they fall equally often and multiplies the winner’s bet by 10, 40, and 200 for 3, 4, and 5 of such symbols on an active pay line. K and Q mean multipliers of 5, 25, and 150, while J and 10 multiply the bet by 5, 20, and 100 for 3, 4, and 5 of them on any pay line.
Risk game
In case of the winning, the player is offered to try their luck in the risk game. Its rules are quite simple: you need to guess the card’s suit color using one of two buttons — red or black.
Free spins
As it has been mentioned above, in the Marco Polo slot machine three scatters give 10 free spins, during which the rules are the same but all the winnings are doubled up. One more interesting thing: free spins may result in the appearance of another wild symbol — the camel on the green background. It also completes any combinations and three such camels grant ten more free spins, but the winning multiplier is x3 this time.
