Van Gogh Slot Review

Vincent Willem van Gogh is one of the world’s most famous painters who existed during the years of Post-Impressionism. His best-known works include portraits, self portraits, landscapes and still lifes. He managed to produce over 2,100 pieces of art, including 860 oil paintings, in just over a decade. He was largely ignored until he committed suicide in 1890 at the age of 37, following years of anxiety, poverty and mental illness. In this slot game, you’ll need to seek out and locate a few of his missing paintings, much like in many other artist-themed slot games from this developer. You see, they’ve gone missing from the local gallery and you need to retrieve them. If you’re able to do this successfully, the gallery will reward you very nicely, and after all, isn’t that what we’re all after? There isn’t really any sort of real soundtrack incorporated into the game, although there is the addition of a few jingling tones every time you spin the reels. So, when you’re ready to do some detective work, make sure you play a few rounds of this one.

Put Your Best Detective Glasses On

You’ll find that this game has a total of five reels and three rows to scour through, and it’s upon these reels that you will also find the game’s various different symbols. The frequently seen A, K and Q symbols have been added to this game in the first instance, but these are joined by three icons of famous Van Gogh paintings. These exist in the form of The Starry Night, Van Gogh Self Portrait and Irises. It’s these paintings that you’ll need to locate and return to the gallery for your reward, and the final standard symbol of the game is present in the form of its own logo.

As far as the rest of the game is concerned, the developer has added a total of 20 different pay lines to it for you to wager on, although these do have the option of being customised to suit your own personal preferences. Furthermore, you can switch around the amount of the wager that you place per spin, and this is done by altering the bet that you place per line. This offers up a range of between $0.01 and $10 per active line, and therefore, allows a maximum overall wager of $200 per spin to be played.

Find the Works of Art

As any good detective will know, a little assistance in tracking down things is always appreciated, and High 5 Games appears to be well in-the-know regarding this too, as they’ve added a few special features into it. The first of these comes into play as soon as you start forming wins on the reels, and this is the ‘Tumbling Reels’ feature. Once you have had pay outs from all winning combinations added to your balance, the icons included in such will disappear and create spaces. These spaces will be filled by new symbols falling from the top of the screen, meaning that you’re able to form even more wins without placing additional wagers.

There’s also the addition of a wild symbol into the game, which is represented by the icon stating ‘WILD’ on it. As such, it will substitute for all other icons in the game, except for the ‘Bonus’ symbol, in order to form a win. Wilds can show up on reels two, three and four only.

Finally, as noted, there is a ‘Bonus’ icon incorporated into the game. This is what will trigger the game’s freespins round, and you’ll need to spin three of them onto reels one, two and three of a played bet line in order to do so. A total of six freespins will be awarded to you, and they may also be awarded randomly at the end of a game that doesn’t feature a winning combination in it. During this round, three of Van Gogh’s other famous paintings will come into play as scatter symbols – Starry Night Over the Rhone, Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers and 1887 Self Portrait.

Find the Paintings and Win the Rewards

We have to admit that we enjoy this developer’s different artist-inspired games. They’re exceptionally intriguing and have some of the best special features incorporated into them.
