Belatra grows games portfolio with Golden øks title
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, is on point with its latest sharply designed game, Golden øks. This Norse-inspired adventure carries on from the popular Axe of Fortune title that hit the market at the turn of the year.
Golden øks is set against a 5×3 layout and is brought to life with a powerful soundtrack to heighten the atmosphere. Players must complete adjacent ways on the reels to win and there are 243 ways available. Symbols include a line-up of Norse fighters, wooden rönds, overflowing tankards and tree amulets.
A resplendent raven acts as the Wild and can be substituted for each of the symbols aside from the Axe Scatter symbol. Three or more Scatters will trigger the Bonus game and will be played with a maximum of 3000x. Should players find five Scatters, the Golden Axes feature will launch in which players could win up to 9999x. During the base game, there is the +25% to the bet” feature that once activated will automatically increase by 25% – doubling the chance of triggering the bonus
When the Bonus Axes and Golden Axes feature begins, players are faced with four targets set across a snowy plain. Each target is responsible for one digit of the final winning multiplier total. The furthest left target determines the lowest digit, the next targets show the following winning digits. Players must step up to the challenge of throwing the axe at the target to reveal numbers ranging from 0-9. The feature finishes when all targets are hit or when the axe misses or falls short to land in the snow. Each number is accumulated during the feature to reveal the final multiplier total. If targets are not completed, then players can purchase an extra Axe to try to hit the remaining one.
Golden øks has the Buy Bonus option. Those players with enough credit can enter into the standard or special bonus round. There is also the choice to opt for the Mystery 1/5 button that triggers a 1 in 5 chance of winning the Standard or Golden Axes game.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Golden øks is another shining example of the talent our games studio has in creating truly engaging games. Players love the game mechanic and the Axe bonus gives everyone a chance to hit the massive returns on offer.”
