Masques of San Marco Slot machine review

Masques of San Marco

Masques of San Marco, which is a game from IGT, has a total of 5 reels and 40 paylines. The prizes which can be won here go as high as $100,000, with the features including wild symbols and free spins.

The game has as a theme the Venice carnival, with the various masks used by people during the parties that are part of the celebrations, but it’s also about various astronomy signs, with multiple symbols with the Sun or the Moon on them. The reels are encased in a frame formed out of stone columns, and they are split into two different sets of reels, each one with 20 paylines. The player gets the same 5 reels, but they have 6 positions instead of 3 or 4, with 3 positions part of one set of paylines, and the other 3 positions part of the second set. The symbols consist of the game logo symbol, three characters with masks, two symbols with the Sun and one with the Moon, plus the Wild and the Bonus icons.

Even though there are two sets of paylines, they are counted together, and the player only has one option, to place a wager on all of them. He chooses the line bet, starting at $1 and going up to $20, which would give the player a betting range of $40 to $800. The game’s largest prize is worth 5,000 coins, with a maximum value of $100,000.

One of the major features of the Slot is the one with the freefall symbols. Whenever a winning combo gets formed, the symbols that are part of it will fall off the screen, while other symbols fall down to fill the empty spaces. This keeps happening until there are no more additional combinations formed.

The wild symbol is a typical feature of this type, substituting for the other 7 symbols that have no special role in the game.

The bonus symbol, with a mask which has the word Bonus written on top, will give the player access to a round of free spins. The symbols have to be on the same payline, on the first three reels, and if that happens, the player gets 6 spins for free. The Free Spins come with 60 paylines, instead of 40, so there are more chances to win.

Masques of San Marco is a game that innovates, and thanks to the increasing number of paylines and the features added to it, it is a must try game.
