Viva l'Italia Slots
Ciao, and welcome to Italy, an all-time favourite holiday destination. The nature, culture, climate, food and history are unique and characteristic of a distinctive Mediterranean way of life.
Viva l'Italia, or "long live Italy", is an 888 Holdings video slot game designed as a celebration of this beloved country and of its most iconic historical and cultural elements. Prepare to be transported to the heart of the Italian countryside for a one-of-a-kind game that can yield sizeable cash rewards!
And without further ado, let's head south and travel to the country that gave the world Michelangelo, pizza and pesto dressing.
Classy settings
Viva l'Italia takes you all the way to the Italian countryside for a unique trip you will not soon forget.
The background of the game shows several historical monuments Italy is famous for, such as Rome's Coliseum the Tower of Pisa. The colour schema is dominated by olive and red tones, reminiscent of both the Italian flag and of many ingredients used in Italian cuisine.
Aesthetically speaking, the game gives off a classy atmosphere, with sleek and realistic graphics. The colours are beautiful and help create a very pleasant atmosphere, while evoking traditional Italian icons. So far, you could say that Viva l'Italia is quite the looker! Let's move on now to the rules of the game itself...
How to play
Viva l'Italia is set in a 5-reel, 25-fixed payline environment. This means that you cannot deactivate paylines and therefore must bet on all 25 of them at every spin.
You can still, however, modify the amount of your bet thanks to the Bet button located at the bottom of the game screen. The possible bet sizes range from 0.01 to 3 credits per payline, for a maximum total bet of 75 credits. Cash rewards are triggered when one or more winning combinations of symbols land on a payline. The size of the reward will naturally depend on the amount of your bet and the nature of the symbols that line up on screen. Hit the purple Spin button when you feel ready to rumble!
You can also select a number of Autospins to bet on, where you have the possibility to bet on a predetermined number of spins with a constant bet. No interruptions, just fun! Choose the option that fits your play style best and start spinning. Keep in mind that there is no progressive jackpot to win in Viva l'Italia, but with a luck on your side you can still land some sizeable wins thanks to the standard symbol combinations, which we will review in the next section.
A paytable filled with history
One glance at the symbol menu of Viva l'Italia is enough to recognise the world-famous monuments that feature in it.
The first half of the list, however, is filled with classic card symbols ranging from number 9 and up to the Ace. These symbols do not pay much but show up frequently on the reels. Their design is classic and rather uninspired if compared to the rest of the game.
The upper half of the menu is a stark contrast. You will discover several places and monuments that made Italy famous worldwide: the city of Venice, the Vatican in Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Milano's Duomo and the Coliseum of Rome. All symbols are beautifully designed, with vibrant colours and realistic features. There are just a pleasure to look at - and even more so when they line up and trigger big wins! And the fun is not over yet.
Special surprises
The last few symbols of Viva l'Italia bring some special features, ready to spice up your game and make your head spin along with the reels.
The Wild card, first of all, is able to not only replace any basic symbol but also triples the line payout as it does so, giving out the highest possible rewards of the whole game.
Meanwhile, the Wine Bottle is the Scatter symbol of the game. It triggers both cash rewards and Free game Spins regardless of its position on the reels. Keep in mind that you need at least three Wine Bottles on screen to start winning free games, which always come with a x3 Multiplier.
A taste of Italy
Viva l'Italia is designed as both a tribute to Italy and its culture and as a lucrative, fun video slot game for anyone. Players will appreciate both the atmosphere and the bonuses offered by the game. The absence of a progressive jackpot or of the option to deactivate paylines might bother some, so keep those elements in mind before setting out on your Italian adventure. You may prefer for once to holiday in Britain for example, on 888's Love from London slot.
