Play Precious One for Free

Sophisticated, refined and glamorous is the order of the day with Precious One, with developer Altea firmly putting the emphasis on some of the more desirable luxuries in life.

With a simple wooden background, the reels almost look like they’re nestled on a velvet jeweller’s tray – and that would be no surprise given their high value content!

The symbols include a myriad of beautiful gems from simple amethysts, diamonds and emerald stones to ruby rings, a sapphire brooch and a pearl necklace. There’s also gold coins and a stunning miniature chest completing the set, along with letters representing playing cards.

There’s no musical soundtrack but as you play you’ll hear some authentic casino sounds. Strike a winner and the game celebrates with you, with the symbols spinning and sparkling to show off their full beauty.

With a stunning array of gemstones such as this, who could resist spending a little time checking out the goodies which are on offer? And if you take a visit to the paytable you will find out exactly what you could win too.

To navigate to the paytable you’ll need to click on the question mark in the top right hand side of the screen. It’s not a very obvious link so those who are unfamiliar with video slots may find it takes a while to find it.

The paytable is responsive to the bet you’ve selected so will show you the prizes for the stake you’re playing with. If you want to see what you could win with a different bet, alter your stake and you’ll see the prizes instantly change.

Each of the symbols has a different value and this information is listed in the paytable. Most symbols pay out for matching just two on an active payline but some lower value symbols require a match of at least three.

Once you’ve finished looking over the potential prizes, return to the main screen by pressing the question mark button and get ready to begin to play.

But just before you take your place at the reels, you’ll need to set up your betting preferences.

There are 5 reels with up to 10 paylines available for play. You can choose how many paylines you want to activate by using the plus and minus buttons in the bottom left hand corner.

There’s further flexibility in the betting with the player being able to set the value of the coin between 0.02 and 0.20, as well as choosing between 1 and 5 coins to play with per active payline.

Matching the standard symbols on the reels is one way to win but there’s extra features to look out for too.

The beautiful ruby ring doubles up as the wild symbol and can substitute for nearly all the other symbols on the board to help create a winning line more easily. The only exception is the scatter symbol. Any wins which are created using the wild symbol are automatically doubled.

The scatter symbol is represented by the treasure chest and if you land three or more, you’ll win free spins. Any prizes you win during the free spins will be doubled.

There’s no unique bonus game or round on Precious One. However, the generic Fairy Bonus which applies to all Altea slots is available and can be won during gameplay.

Some of the other nice features available include an Auto Play facility so that you don't have to keep clicking every time you want to play and a fun mode. This allows you to play the game in a simulated environment with a virtual stash of cash. This is a useful facility for those who are less experienced at video slots and want to practice before taking the plunge.

Precious One by Altea is a game based on some of the most desirable items, and the prizes on offer are generous too. There’s not lots of features or bonus rounds but it’s a smooth play and a game that is suitable for all.
