The Fanciful Don Quixote Online Slot Game

October 27, 2016

Don Quixote was the protagonist of the classic novel by Cervantes. The man from La Mancha has given us a new word – “quixotic” meaning impractically fanciful. Don Quixote has also given us a delightful online slot game developed by Playtech. It is titled The Riches of Don Quixote and is live at online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino.

Don Quixote was in incurable romantic and this pervades into the essences of the slot game. The reels are set in the wide plains with the notorious windmills seen afar. Lilting music plays in the background. A wizened but sword wielding Don appears on the reels along with his trusted aide Sancho Panza. The third character is a Spanish lady. Don Quixote fans will recognize her as Dulcinea del Toboso, who is referred to as the woman of Quixote’s dreams in the novel. The win animations in these symbols are fascinating. The low paying symbols are helmet, shield and the usual playing card icons in ornate font and embellished with flowers. These symbols appear in stacks of two and lead to more frequent payouts. The windmill is the wild symbol and the Don Quixote novel is the scatter symbol.

The windmill also awards the highest line payouts. Five symbols on an active payline lead to a payout of 3000 times the line bet. This symbol also starts paying when two symbols appear aligned from left to right on an active payline. The novel awards scatter payouts that are multiplied by the total bet. Five scatters lead to a payout of 100 coins. Three or more scatter symbols also activate the La Mancha free games, which is the only bonus feature in the video slot. You will be awarded 10 free spins with payout multipliers. The multiplier starts at 2x and increases by 1x after two spins. You will also get a wild symbol locked in the middle row of the middle reel for every free spin. The free spins feature cannot be retriggered.

The Riches of Don Quixote has the usual 5x3 reels set with 25 fixed paylines. The line bet can be varied from $0.01 to $10.00. The maximum total bet per spin works out to $250 and this will attract high roller players at Playtech online casinos. The usual Playtech functionalities have been included in this video slot. You can set the game on Auto Play for up to 99 spins without manual intervention. You can also play in the Turbo Mode that brings the reels to a quick stop.
