Free spins are also triggered when you get at least three “free games” symbols on the reels.
The slots have multiple scatter symbols which are the paintings of women by Da Vinci. If you get at least 3 of a kind of these symbols on the reels, the multiplier is activated. The multiplier can vary anywhere between 2 and 30, depending on what symbol you get and how many times you get it.
Thanks to Dan Brown, a number of people seem to have taken interest in Da Vinci and his works. That is also one of the reasons why Da Vinci Diamonds is appealing to many. However, IGT has released this game only through slot machines at land based casinos and through online casinos, but not yet through mobile casinos.
IGT introduced land-based casino customers to Davinci
Diamonds in 2007. The game used a then innovative style,
tumbling reels, that has been widely adopted by many slot game
designers today. By 2012 Davinci Diamonds was IGT’s most popular
slot game and their online casino subsidiary brought the game to
online slots player.
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) is recognized around the world
as one of the leading thinkers of his time. He is remembered for
his inventions more than for his artwork, both of which had
profound influence upon other Renaissance leaders and the
inventors and artists of the following (Barroque) period, which
lasted from about 1600 to 1800.
Da Vinci’s connection to diamonds is buried in his notes,
although the famous Da Vinci diamond cut was developed by
Israeli diamond cutter Shlomo Cohen in 2006. Cohen, who invented
the “Princess cut” in 1982, based his 57-facet Da Vinci cut on
the Golden Ratio and Da Vinci’s drawings of polyhedrons,
especially pentagrams.
Leonardo Da Vinci himself wanted to use diamonds to make a
better clock for his day. The more accurate pendulum-based
clocks were still 200 years in the future, but Da Vinci found a
way to use springs instead of weights run his clock, which was
to use diamond parts as well. The Da Vinci clock is considered
to be more accurate at keeping time than other Renaissance era
clocks.
The diamonds in the slot game come in several shapes and
colors, just like diamonds (and other gemstones) in real life.
Mixed in with the diamonds are three portrait paintings by
Leonardo: Cecilia Gallerani, a woman holding an ermine; the Mona
Lisa; and Portrait of a Musician (who may have been Da Vinci
himself or Franchino Gaffurio, one of Da Vinci’s friends and a
Renaissance music theorist).
