Mystery Diamonds and Free Spins 

Joining the roster of iconic Swintt releases like Fortune Door released last month and upcoming titles such as Samurais Pleasure and Win-O-Rama XL, Treasures of Rome tells a captivating tale while carrying gamers through the fascinating streets of Rome. 

Players who prefer slots with frequent wins will enjoy the low volatility and the paylines packed with symbols that can attract nice wins during the base game. The symbols range from the standard card games from Ace through Jack, harps, vases, Roman nobles, and the coliseum that acts like the scatter symbol of the game.

To trigger the Mystery Diamonds feature during the base game, players must come across at least three diamonds of the same color. In turn, this will trigger a Respin and engage the feature that counts three different options: Expanding Reels, x2 Wild, and Random Wild. 

The Expanding Reel feature doubles the number of available rows on the grid while boosting the number of paylines to 75. The X2 Wilds feature changes all wild symbols into x2 Wilds while the Random Wild feature transforms between five and 10 positions on the reels into wild symbols. 

The Free Spins feature requires a single-colored diamond to be activated. Players who land a minimum of three scatters anywhere on the grid unlock at least eight Free Spins. 

More free spins can be grabbed when landing a scatter symbol while the Free Spins feature is engaged. The free spins are played using the bet corresponding to the last regular round played.

Commenting on the release, Swintt’s chief executive officer, David Mann, spoke about the “colossal wins” that can be generated in just one spin via the Mystery Diamond features while praising the iconic visual elements and straightforward gameplay.
