Masques of San Marco Slot Machine

Inspired by the Carnival of Venice, IGT has created Masques of San Marco video slot with Dual Play mode. It will take you for a nocturnal visit to this unique city famous for its baroque buildings and gondolas gliding through canals. Dual Play means the game plays with two sets of reels with 20 paylines, thus giving you 40 lines in total to win over.

The world-famous Carnival of Venice takes place each year during the second part of February and beginning of March. The tradition which is famous for elaborate, distinctive masks worn by participants, dates 9 centuries back. It was outlawed in 1797 under the rule of the Holy Roman Emperor, only to reappear again towards the end of the 20th century. They say the Carnival was originally created as an occasion for people from all walks of life to dress as they liked rather than conform to rules linked to their social class and profession.

These days the event opens with the traditional “Festa delle Marie” which evokes the rescue of twelve brides kidnaped by a group of Dalmatian pirates in 946, and one can participate in a contest for the most beautiful mask or “la maschera più bella”. Masks are often made out of porcelain, hand-painted and decorated with feathers and gems. There are several different kinds, the most popular being the Colombina, a half-mask which only covers the upper part of the wearer’s face, and grotesque Bauta, a simple white affair covering the entire face and featuring a prominent nose, beak-like chine and no mouth.

Dual Play Lets You Win on Two Sets of Reels

Collection of symbols includes several different masks, icons of the sun, the moon and a star, and a Wild which can substitute for any of those. You’ll get paid for landing identical symbols on a payline from left to right, and each time you do, cascading reels feature will make winning ones disappear in a show of fireworks and new ones materialise in their positions. This effectively allows one to win multiple times on a single bet and theoretically keep collecting until the sun comes up.

Another chance to play for free is offered to those who manage to get 3 Bonus icons on reels 1, 2 and 3. This combo will trigger 6 Free Spins and activate 20 extra paylines in addition to the original 40 from the base game. Players might frown on being given only 6 spins on the house, but be aware that the feature can be re-triggered and award up to as many as 300 free rounds.

Massive Payouts Offered via Multiple Free-play Opportunities

Players can set the line bet between £0.01 to £0.50, meaning they’ll get to spin for a minimum of £0.40 and a maximum of £20. Long-term RTP ranges between 93.41% and 95.29% and the most valuable mask will pay up to 5,000x one’s line bet. But don’t forget you could be winning again and again thanks to freefall feature and accumulate massive amounts if lucky enough to keep re-triggering Free Spins bonus round. IGT has made Dual Play mode a success with Da Vinci Diamonds and there’s no doubt players will equally enjoy this unique mechanism in Masques of San Marco.

Try it out by joining a virtual masquerade and let lucrative extras make it an experience you’ll never forget.
