The inventive July 2019 video slot Da Vinci Device, from developer 1X2 Gaming, is an adaptation of the ingenious Italian Leonardo Da Vinci’s scientific contributions and engineering inventions; the game thematically relates with Roboslots (November 2002).

Themes: High Renaissance era, aeronautical, visual art, mapping, and mathematical sketching. Eleven symbols (J, Q, K, A, ornithopter, Aerial Screw, talisman, polyhedron, Mona Lisa, self-portrait, and globe) require three, four or five rightward combinations in the 243 fixed winning ways that regularly pay between X5 and X400.

There are twenty symbols, nine total bets, three lowly win multipliers, four substitutes, and five different free games-triggering symbols.

The Da Vinci Device Game Characteristics

A parchment white background is the setting for The Da Vinci Device’s unpartitioned 5X3 grid whose frame is double-lined. The plain grid has crisscrossing lined, dotted and pale moss-colored bisecting lines and arcs.

The Da Vinci Device has nine special symbols and eleven ordinary symbols. Parchment white substitutes: the first general substitute is a “wild” Vitruvian Man; and, exclusive to the free games, the other three substitutes are also win multipliers— “X2” Vitruvian Man, “X3” Vitruvian Man and “X4” Vitruvian Man.

The one-off free games-triggering activators are five stringed gray components of a code cryptex: bottom (first reel); backbone (second reel); maze block (third reel); pin holder (fourth reel); and brown display box (fifth reel).
