The Avia Masters is a video slot game developed by EGT (Euro Games Technology), a Bulgarian gaming company known for its high-quality slots. This 5-reel, 10-payline game has a distinct aviation theme and offers players the chance to win significant jackpots.
Theme and Design
Avia Masters transports players to an era of vintage airplanes and early flight pioneers. The reels are set play now against a backdrop of a sky filled with contrails and clouds, adding to the game’s nostalgic ambiance. The symbols include various aircraft parts such as propellers, engines, wings, and helmets, which blend seamlessly into the aviation theme.
Symbols
The slot features 12 regular paytable symbols divided into three categories: low-value symbols (A, K, Q, J, and numbers 10-9), middle-value symbols (aircraft engine, airship wheel, propeller, wing, and helmet), and high-value symbols (aviation pioneer, airplane cockpit, and flight pioneer’s statue). There are two special wild and scatter symbols: the Wild symbol is a stylized ‘W’ with an aircraft silhouette, while the Scatter symbol features four airplanes.
Payouts
Each of the 12 regular paytable symbols has its own payout value. The payouts range from 5x to 1,000x for five-of-a-kind combinations. The low-value symbols offer smaller rewards (up to 500x), while the middle- and high-value symbols increase the payouts significantly, with maximum wins reaching up to 10,000x.
Wilds
The Wild symbol in Avia Masters can replace all regular paytable symbols except for Scatter, acting as a substitute. The wild replaces its corresponding base game or Free Games feature character if one of these is available on the reels and then replaced by that base game or Feature Game reel combination with winning potential.
Scatters
A minimum of three Scattered Airplanes appearing anywhere on the grid activates 12 Free Spins, which can be triggered within the main game. During this bonus round, all wins are doubled.
Bonus Features
Avia Masters offers two special features:
1. Free Games : When a Wild symbol appears in any position during base play and with a minimum of three Scattered Airplanes on the reels, it unlocks 12 free spins (with double winnings).
2. Super Reel Spins Feature : If you have accumulated at least eight Free Games when these are awarded, then only two standard feature rounds will be activated; all subsequent triggered features from that point onwards would become Double Jackpot Multiplier Rounds.
Free Spins
During the 12 Free Spin bonus round:
- All wins double
- The reels shift to a higher volatility setting, with lower frequency of Wilds but potentially higher payout values.
- A separate Scatter symbol appears only on one reel and not anywhere else – however both standard scatter airplane symbols will remain active.
RTP (Return-to-Player)
Avia Masters has an RTP (return-to-player) rate of 94%, meaning that for every $100 put into the machine, players can expect to receive approximately $94 in winnings over time. The theoretical house edge stands at around 6%.
Volatility
The volatility level in Avia Masters is classified as Medium-High. This indicates that while there will be some winning combinations available, these will not come up often enough to provide consistent results.
Betting Range
Avia Masters offers a wide betting range for players:
- Minimum bet: 0.10 coins (depending on the machine’s configuration)
- Maximum bet: 100 coins (again depending on configuration)
This ensures that all types of gamers, from penny-pinchers to big spenders, can enjoy this game without having any significant issue.
Max Win
The maximum win per single spin in Avia Masters is a massive $10 million. This prize can be won during the main game or through activating free spins and landing specific combinations with multiple bonus features involved at once.
The gameplay of Avia Masters involves spinning five reels against ten fixed paylines, resulting from 3-5 symbols lining up consecutively across these lines in either horizontal (left-to-right) direction only. Players place their bets by selecting one or more of the coin denominations and clicking "Spin" to initiate a single round.
Mobile Play
Avia Masters has been optimized for mobile play on both Android and iOS devices, enabling players to experience its thrill wherever they go:
- Downloadable: Yes (mobile app)
- Web-based access available too but limited by screen resolution – higher than 720p for best performance
When launching this game in a smartphone or tablet browser, you can then adjust settings like spin speed; however if running on low-end hardware your experience should still remain smooth with some minor lag occasionally.
Player Experience
Playing Avia Masters is quite engaging due to its numerous bonus features and captivating graphics:
1. Airborne Feel : Players feel immersed in an aviation adventure, thanks to a charming color scheme complemented by atmospheric sounds & animations throughout gameplay sessions.
2. Frequent Bonus Hits : Its generous free spins frequency boosts players’ anticipation every few turns of the reels – giving them increased opportunities at bigger winnings through these special events.
3. Visual and Audio Feedback
The graphics are crisp with well-animated symbols, complemented by a simple yet catchy soundtrack that doesn’t disrupt gameplay.
