How the 1429 Uncharted Seas bonus works

To get the free spins bonus in 1429 Uncharted Seas, you will need to see at least 3 Scatter symbols appear on a single pay spin. The more Scatter symbols you get, the more free spins you are awarded. The difference is striking:

• 3 Scatters trigger 10 free spins;

• 4 Scatters trigger 20 free spins;

• 5 Scatter triggers the maximum bonus with 50 free spins.

As you can see, it can be very beneficial to get 5 Scatters in one round of play. Especially since there are no special features to be found during the bonus. An animation is triggered to inform you of your arrival in dangerous seas and the atmosphere darkens. Apart from the few lightning bolts and the change in the general atmosphere, the bonus is no different from the paid rounds.

You will find the Expanding Wild, allowing you to make larger connections and you can also retrigger. By getting 3, 4 or 5 Scatters on a free spin, 10, 20 or 50 free spins will be added to your total. Please note that there is a limit of 50 free spins.

Our opinion on 1429 Uncharted Seas

Indeed, 1429 Uncharted Seas does not offer any real original features or impressive jackpots. It is not possible to buy the bonus and its volatility is very low, but this is perhaps all that makes its charm. Low volatility, combined with a historically high RTP can greatly appeal to beginner players or those who simply don't want to take the most risk with their balance.

A few years after its release, while the slot market has grown immensely, 1429 Uncharted Seas is still a very enjoyable slot to play, with great graphics, smooth animations and an engaging atmosphere.
