Play Black Swan for Free

There are 5 reels and 10 lines – all rendered in HD graphics. The symbols worth collecting include the diamond, for the jackpot, the sealed letter, the mask, the watch, the brandy glass, the box of cigars and the safe.

The safe acts as the scattered symbol – get three or more and you start the free win feature. During these free spins, the wins are doubled. Any three symbols matched on winning lines from left to right means you’ll win. This win grows with four symbols in a row.

As with all games – 5 matched symbols on the payline of the diamond will give you max pay-out. However, to get to the jackpot pay-out you have to gamble your winnings (more on the gamble feature later).

Altea aims for three achievements in their games – that they will use the latest technology, with stunning and graphics and custom made for the casino. Black Swan is a great showcase for their work. The designers have played close attention to the small details of the background and the objects in the reels. Altea claim to want to capture the player’s attention and give them an experience that keeps them coming back. It is fair to say that the design of Black Swan does capture your attention – but is it enough to keep it?

With no bonus games and only a free spin feature – there isn’t much to this game beyond the initial spin of the slots. There is nothing wrong with such simplicity. The game designers have done well to use HD graphics to create an artistic masterpiece, which they have. But, with simple gameplay comes the title of a starter slot – this is likely to appeal to new players who do not want the bells and whistles of extra games and features.

There are potentially 84 free spins hidden in the vaults of the game – and sometime free games are far more useful that the most complex of gaming features.

The game does offer a gamble feature. This gamble feature allows you to increase your winnings by stake these against another spin. This is a great way to eat through your bankroll and unless you are happy to risk big you are not going to get near the jackpot. It is likely that players won’t be lured in to be loyal to the slot Black Swan. However, they are likely to be impressed by the artistry and the attention to detail and it is likely enough to make the player interested to know what else is on the site – such as the tables or other more progressive jackpot slots.

So, what is the bottom line? Well, this game is similar to those you find in the foyer of high class Las Vegas casinos that fill it with music and the chinking of money into slots.

The gameplay is simple – feed in the coins and press to spin. There is no skill to the game – just a random number generator at work to dictate if you win or not. But, the point is, that sometimes this is all it takes to make the world disappear – a simple coin in, spin and win – and a boost to your day without taking a massive risk.

When you are aiming for simplicity in gameplay, then you need to make sure the visuals and the functionality of the game is spot on – and this is definitely something that Altea do with some skill. The graphics are excellent and the music perfect. It’s a decent enough slot for those starting out.
