Da Vinci DeluxeWays - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Da Vinci DeluxeWays slot review

See some of the most significant works of art in history in a most unusual situation in the Da Vinci DeluxeWays slot from High 5 Games. Using a Megaways-style system with a variable number of paylines, making up to a potential 1,000,000 ways to win, this high variance slots game includes a free spins bonus that can retrigger and a max win jackpot of 10,000x the bet. Read on for our full Da Vinci DeluxeWays slot review.

A true renaissance man

From the darkened halls of major art galleries to the sparkling reels of this High 5 Games free slot, Da Vinci sure gets around! With gilded frames creating the reels, the symbols with the best payout potential here are some of the most famous works by Da Vinci, interestingly appearing in doubles and triples to add to the surrealism.

Soundtrack and sound effects

The only let-down of this game is the lack of a decent soundtrack, with a very distant baroque melody playing on flutes that are barely audible. The sound effects are to be expected from a slots game, with jingles and beeps to accompany wins and remind you that you are not in an art gallery.

Da Vinci DeluxeWays RTP & volatility 

High 5 Games has given this title an RTP of 96 per cent but acknowledges that this can vary according to the operator. While this is the average for most slots at online casinos, you will need to check if you are thinking of playing elsewhere. Casinos may be able to alter the RTP for their needs.

Volatility

Demo play testing suggested this game is high volatility, with long gaps between potential wins but the chance of bigger prizes if you are lucky enough to land a win. 

How to play Da Vinci DeluxeWays

There is no need to study; instead, get started easily with our simple guide:

1. Your balance, most recent win and current bet level are shown along the bottom of the reels.
2. Use the left and right arrows to choose your bet level.
3. The ‘i’ button to the top right will give you the audio settings and the payable, including winning symbols and win multiplier values, and all the base game and bonus rules.
4. Use the speedometer symbol to speed up the reel animations. 
5. Use the smaller spin wheel to set up automatic play, including a range of win and loss limits.
6. The main spin button to the right will spin the reels once at the current bet level.
7. Get the most out of demo mode slots by playing responsibly, using real-world budget levels and keeping to them throughout gameplay. Timeout and self-exclusion functions are provided.

How to win at Da Vinci DeluxeWays

In this Megaways-style game, you still need to match at least three winning symbols from left to right on a payline to win. The number of paylines is determined randomly for each spin by the size of the symbols, with a range of between 729 and 1,000,000 paylines. The top win from each successful line is added together to form your total win. 

Betting options

For standard bets, you can choose between 20 to 10,000. This is a wide range that should suit most players.

You also have the option of two power bets. For 3x your bet, you can replace the top symbols with doubles and triples only; for 5x your bet, a seventh reel is added to increase the number of paylines to between 4,096 and 1,771,561. 

Max win 

The max win in the game is the top jackpot, which awards a win multiplier of 10,000x the bet. This is achieved by landing six or more jackpot symbols in the base game.

Da Vinci DeluxeWays bonuses 

There is a wide range of Da Vinci DeluxeWays bonus features, making this a more dynamic game than many slots:

Cascade feature

After any win, the winning symbols will disappear to create space for new symbols to drop down and potentially create additional wins.

Wilds

Wilds substitute for any symbol except the scatter and jackpot symbols to help you form winning lines.

Free spins bonus

There is a range of free spins to be won depending on how many of the scatter symbol you land:

• 3 scatters award 8 free spins
• 4 scatters award 10 free spins
• 5 scatters award 12 free spins
• 6 scatters award 15 free spins

During this round, any additional scatter symbols that land will award another free game, while achieving the same scatter symbol combos as above will retrigger the free spins bonus for the same number of spins. 

A multiplier of 1x applies to begin with. After any successful win, it will increase by 1 and will apply to all wins until the end of the bonus to boost your payout potential.

Jackpot

These symbols only appear in the base game and will award one of the jackpot prizes for landing four or more on the reels. If you use either power bet option, this will reduce the size of the jackpots, dividing by three for the 3x power bet and by five for the 5x power bet.

Max-win 10,050x

Volatility High

Top RTP 96.00%
