Aureus Slot Review

Background

A simple, cartoon backdrop positions players on the top of a mount Olympus-style peak with a dark green foliage and some great examples of Roman architecture with a columned temple and podium. Above the podium stands Jupiter, king of the gods complete with flowing, white robes and a lightning bold shaped staff that demands authority.

The grid on which play takes place here is made up of 5-rows and 3-reels that float with an opaque background making it appear light and airy. The symbols consist of variously designed coins with different numbers imprinted on them, they can also include features that come into play during the bonus rounds.

Wins are not achieved here by making paylines, instead coins fall into catchment areas the values of which can be claimed by landing brackets either side of this area. The brackets position between two metallic balls that are suck above and below each coin.

Bonuses

The respin and lightning features are the key to reaching the maximum payouts on Aureus, they are triggered at random. When a respin is triggered at random players get a free shot to spin the reels which can possibly include some rewarding symbols.

• Multiplier coin, increases the prize by 2x to 5x.
• Respins coin, awards a further 2, 3 or 5 respins.
• Upgrade coin, transform low paying to medium coins and medium to high paying symbols and adds an extra high paying symbol to the grid.
• Collect column coin, instantly collects all coin values from the reel on which it lands.
• Collect all coin, rewards the player all coin values from the grid.

The area between the brackets remains active throughout these spins calculating the new payout from each spin. This feature can also be retriggered up to 8 times giving even more chances to win prizes.

Another randomly triggered feature is Jupiter’s lightning that strikes when a closing bracket lands on the grid. This adds an opening bracket on the same row automatically forming a win of whatever is between these brackets.
