Vulcan was one of the 12 Olympian Gods of the Roman Empire. He was known as a master blacksmith forging weapons, jewellery and more for the other gods on his anvil. He was reputed to have two wives, one of which was Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. According to legend, Vulcan had his forge deep within a volcano.
Vulcan Slots has 5 reels and 25 pay lines with scatters, double pay out wilds, two random progressive jackpots, a feature guarantee, and free spins with multipliers up to 300x! When all 25 lines are active, wagers will range from $0.25 to $125.00 per game; owing to coin sizes from $0.01 to $5.00 per active line. The limits on stakes go from the smallest bet of 0.01 for playing just the one line, up to 0.25 for playing all of them. Included in this game is the Feature Guarantee where playing the full 25 lines allows players to ensure they get to play the feature after a number of spins. The price for this is x10 the line bet and playing at low limit will add on 0.10 to the overall bet placed.
Step up to high limit stakes and this will increase the line bet to 0.25 so the overall bet will be 6.25 plus the x10 which gives the total of 8.75 coins per spin. Vulcan is the stacked wild and he hammers his anvil whenever he completes a win along a line as he beats out an added x3 multiplier.
The play buttons are along the bottom of the screen with the meters along the top. Also in an upper position are the minor and major progressive jackpots and a feature guarantee sign.
The volcano is the symbol of the scatter which erupts if 3 or more appear to give a number of free spins. For this the screen changes from fire to cool using the love of Venus’s influence and a sea background. While these extra spins play, they will double any wins made. If that wasn’t already good enough, if more spins retrigger wins are awarded a bigger multiplier of up to x300 for the third and final retrigger. A traditional scatter, the Volcano “pays where it lays” and needs no pay line to award a win. Pay outs start at 2x the total wager with three symbols and go up to 125x the total wager with five symbols anywhere on the reels. The Volcano scatter also triggers the Fire of the Gods Feature.
If the feature guarantee is activated to trigger the free spins round, the value of the multipliers increases each retrigger within the feature up to a staggering x500 on the third. The pay table has some decent pays on it from the general symbol matches. Gamblers will be particularly interested with Venus being the high paying symbol. The return to player percentage varies from 91-97% as there are a number of factors with the features and length of play to take into consideration with this medium volatility slot. In order to benefit from the feature guarantee, you must play all 25 lines and place an extra bet of 10x your line wager. Doing so will ensure that the free games feature will fire within a certain number of spins. An added perk of wagering with the feature guarantee is the chance that all free games from a guaranteed feature can have up to a 500x multiplier!
As part of the Feature Guarantee, players can also cash in on the Instant Trigger Chance, a way to try and instantly trigger the feature via the Feature Wheel. Tag a Green slot on the Feature Wheel and the feature is triggered. Tag anything else and you’ll go back to the base game, with a feature guarantee meter that is set back to the starting point.
Vulcan online slots do have an auto-play feature that quickly stops and starts as you need it to. Auto-play can be customized in the menu settings. It, like the rest of the spins, fires very quickly, so it is important to watch your balance closely.
All non-scatter symbols play from left to right, and half of them award a win with as few as two on a pay line. The Goddess and the Temple are the highest paying symbols, paying out 1,000 and 500 coins respectively when five identical land on an active pay line. There are two ever-growing random progressive jackpots churning away above the Vulcan slot reels, just waiting to fire at the conclusion of any game.
Random Jackpots are added to other wins; as the Major Jackpot (usually at $1,000 or more) and the Minor Jackpot (usually $300 or more).
The Wild symbol is the burly-looking Vulcan man swinging his hammer symbol, and he is the main character to help award extra coins in the game. The Vulcan symbol can appear stacked on Reels 2 and 4 during the base game. The Vulcan will replace all non-scatter symbols to help create additional wins. Wins are tripled when Vulcan contributes to a winning combination.
The Fire of the Gods Bonus feature is triggered by three or more Volcano scatters anywhere on the reels. Regardless of how many scatters triggered the bonus round. 15 free spins with double pay outs will be instantly awarded. Free spins can retrigger up to three times, adding 5 more spins each time. The multiplier is increased each time free spins are retriggered.
With every Free Spins retrigger, the multiplier increases. The first time the free spins retrigger, the multiplier goes to 3x. The second time they retrigger, the multiplier goes up to 30x. The last time they retrigger (the gods willing), the multiplier becomes an impressive 300x for all remaining games!
During free spins, the Vulcan wild continues to appear stacked on Reels 2 and 4, and will also appear stacked on Reel 3. Should the feature be triggered as part of a feature guarantee, the free game retrigger multiplier increases to 5x, 50x, and 500x respectively. So go back to Ancient Rome and start playing Vulcan Slots today!
