Play Famous Paintings for Free

The history of art stretches back as long as mankind with new techniques and styles constantly evolving. Developer Red Rake Gaming has done a great job of capturing a wide range of classics which will be instantly recognisable to anyone who’s dipped their toe into the world of art.

In case you’re not a devotee and are less familiar with the classics, here’s a guide to just some of the paintings you can expect to find.

The Creation of Adam is one of the best known frescos painted by Michelangelo and is recognisable even from just a small fraction of the overall work, in this case the two fingers touching. You’ll also find the inimitable Birth of Venus by Botticelli, The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer and the famous melting clocks from Salvador Dali. The Scream by Edward Munch, Sunflowers by Van Gogh and the timeless Mona Lisa by Da Vinci are all included too.

Together with other pieces from more contemporary artists too such as Andy Warhol, this is one of the most comprehensive line-ups of art masterpieces that has ever been assembled. With such creativity on display it’s easy to forget to start spinning the reels and playing the game!

If you want to win prizes you’ll need to start spinning those paintings on the reels, to try and line up matching combinations.

There are 5 reels laid out in the standard 5x3 configuration and these include 35 paylines. This is a good number of paylines and increases your chances of spinning a landing line. However this will also up the total of your overall bet. These paylines aren’t fixed so if you prefer to play on fewer you can alter the number which are active by using the plus and minus buttons on screen.

However, an alternative to dropping the number of paylines is reducing the value of the coin. This can be set by you, between the minimum and maximum values. Remember that this is how much each line is worth, and not the overall cost! You’ll need to multiply the two together to get the figure but the game will calculate it automatically so save you overworking the brain cells!

To win a prize on Famous Paintings you’ll need to line up matching symbols along a payline, but there’s some extra ways to reap a reward.

The wild symbol is fairly standard in online video slots and it once again is included in this game. However as an extra advantage in this game there’s not one, but two wild symbols so it’s easier than ever to boost your winnings and grab a prize. Look out for Marilyn Manson by Andy Warhol and the iconic Birth Of Venus to benefit.

However, there’s also a bonus feature too and this comes courtesy of the Mona Lisa herself. One of the most famous pieces of artwork ever to be painted, spin three of this symbol and you’ll unlock the bonus.

Unlike other games, the bonus doesn’t take you to a series of side games but it will provide you with sticky wilds. This means they will stay on the reels and continue to remain in situ until it reaches the point where you win a prize.

And if you want to take a break to step back and appreciate the beautiful artwork on show, but don’t want to stop playing, the Auto Spin can step in. The perfect way to play without any effort, the reels will start and stop without any intervention by you. And when you’re ready to restart manual play, you can just switch the feature off with just a click .

Famous Paintings by Red Rake Gaming is the cultural addition to join their series, including previous titles of Famous Couples and Famous Landmarks. It’s an unusual theme, but one which will instantly attract any art buffs, and with a simple play structure it’s a title that can be played by all.
