Malta – Swintt launches Spanish-themed slot El Andaluz
By William - 17 December 2021
After a festive flurry of releases, Swintt has launched a new title set in the warmer climes of southern Spain – El Andaluz.
El Andaluz is a five-reel, 10-payline game with a cowboy theme that sees players spin to the sound of flamenco guitars and set their sights on a maximum jackpot of 1,200x their stake.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, explained: “Having recently re-released Golden Reindeer and debuted our new Santa vs Aliens slot, we thought it was important to offer players a change of scene this Christmas in El Andaluz.
“Boasting big wins and popular features like free spins and sticky wilds, we’re sure players will welcome the opportunity to banish their winter blues by galloping through the hills of southern Spain in the latest slot adventure to come from our hit studio.”
Unique symbols to feature in the game include roses, hand fans and castanets, whilst the vaquero acts as a substitute wild. Filling in for any regular base game icon, this special character can increase the slot’s payout frequency by completing winning lines.
The black stallion scatter symbol triggers El Andaluz’s main bonus feature. Activated whenever three or more scatters appear anywhere in view during a single round, players get 12 free spins which take place on a more lucrative set of reels.
When the feature is active, the vaquero symbol acts as a sticky wild and locks in place for the remainder of the free spins. Given the frequency with which these symbols hit, it is therefore possible for players to have multiple sections of the game’s 5×3 reel matrix wild for the duration of the feature, making it easier to land bigger prizes.
Any regular payline wins that are collected during the base game can also be increased via the slot’s gamble feature. Should players decide to risk their winnings using this optional extra, they’ll have the chance to double or quadruple their prize by guessing the colour or suit of a hidden playing card; and subsequent gambles can be made until the maximum payout is hit.
