Augustus online slot was launched in November 2021 by a novice software developer Neon Valley Studios working with Microgaming. Inspired by the first Roman emperor, Augustus, this game is done in exceptional visuals accompanied with a suitable soundtrack. Prizes arrive with the help of Substituting Wilds, Scatter Pays, Wild Reels Feature, Coin Collect Meters and three Free Spins Rounds. This slot has the potential to issue payouts of up to 1,000x the stake.
The traditional 5-reel, 3-row gameboard is configured to 20 fixed paylines across which one can decide to stake from $0.20 to $200.00 on a single spin. This betting span is suitable for both penny-gamblers and those who like staking more serious sums. The game issues prizes when at least 3 matching symbols hit consecutive left-to-right winline positions. Tap Spin or MaxBet to begin playing. Activate Autoplay for the game to continue automatically up to 100 times.
Premiums include a female Warrior and Augustus awarding 10x and 15x the stake for 5 of a kind. These icons can also appear fully Stacked for better chances for prizes. Medium-paying symbols are Gladius – a short Roman sword, a Cup, a Helmet and a Seal-ring granting from 2.50x to 5x the bet when 5 land. Low-value icons are Playing card Royals that deliver 1.50x and 2x your wager for 5 identical ones. A Flag represents Wild boosting your gains by issuing prizes of 2x, 10x and 50x your stake when 3, 4 or 5 appear. Wild also replaces symbols in wins, excluding Scatter and Coins. Scatter is depicted with a Roman shield that appears on reels 1, 3 and 5 to grant a 2x the bet prize and activate Free Spins.
As said, the game has more than one special symbol, one of which is the Coin icon. Whenever a Coin hits a reel, it will be transported to that reel’s Meter. Obtaining 2 Coins on a reel will fill the Meter and initiate the Wild Reel Feature in which the entire column gets covered with Wilds. Wild Reels are active during two spins to ensure you get a chance at landing heftier wins. When it comes to Scatters, you’ll need 3 so the Free Spins Feature commences. Player can pick out of three available options, as each has a different amount of freebies and Wild Reels on offer. The more spins you choose, the fewer Wild Reels will be active during them.
The gameplay in Augustus video slot is further supported with a great RTP of 96.14%. You can play this game whenever you want since it looks great on portable screens, both in landscape and portrait mode.
