Description
Five-reel slot Noble Sky slot, from Neon Valley Studios with First Look Games, has 25 Paylines, three rows and a steampunk theme. You’ll be taking to the skies aboard an airship, so the background is one of the blue heavens and fluffy cotton-wool clouds.
Plenty of wheels and cogs are also visible here, with the jackpots and gold coins in a vault (of which more below) displayed to the left of your screen.
This September 2020 release is one game where it could actually be a good thing to have your head in the clouds!
How to play
The betting range in Noble Sky slot runs from 0.25 to 50 a pop, covering a wide spectrum of budgets. It’s easy to place bets and be ready to play this game, which you win in the usual fashion, landing at least three of the same icons or Wilds on one Payline or neighbouring reels, kicking off from Reel 1.
Functions such as Autoplay and turbo spin allow you to customise your play. Equally, as you’d expect, it’s optimised to play on mobile.
Symbols incorporate the standard A to 10 playing cards, along with a compass, hostess, engineer and top hat. The dapper captain is your highest payer here, at 20x stake for five-of-a-kind.
Special features
Special symbols
Wilds behave in the usual way, but they can grow in size to take up to three spots on a reel. These are the airship symbols.
Bonus features
Respins and multipliers
When you see a fully-sized airship Wild, you’ll activate the respins bonus. It sees the Wild moving across the reels from left to right, offering respins as it goes. What’s more, it also leaves a trail of multipliers in its wake, active on every whirl and going up to 10x.
Vault bonus
On any given whirl, you could see a gold coin fixed to a regular icon. The vault will be opened for each coin to be added, triggering the vault bonus round. That could lead you to winning one of the jackpots, as described below.
Jackpot
Once it’s active, the reels are replaced with a display of a dozen coins.
Choose them to uncover symbols related to one of the four jackpots. When you have three of the same, you get that pot.
The jackpots’ values are as follows:
- Mini – worth 15x stake
- Minor – worth 40x stake
- Major – worth 500x stake
- Grand – worth 5,000x stake
There’s no progressive jackpot here, but the maximum win is 5,000x overall wager, as mentioned, via the fixed jackpots instead.
Return to Player (RTP)
Noble Sky slot is a mid-volatility offering, meaning wins should show up frequently enough, while RTP or Return to Player is a fairly bog-standard 96.12%.
If you like your play to be highly volatile, you may need to look elsewhere, but if you are more of a casual player, come on in! Hit frequency is above average at 44.45%, providing good value for money.
Verdict
Noble Sky slot is certainly a good looker of a game, with an entertaining theme and some great sound effects. But one or two reviewers have said the main game could do with being a bit more consistently exciting, while it isn’t exactly overloaded with features.
What’s more, it’s certainly a theme that’s been done quite a few times before in other slot games. And we should also point out that there’s no free spins round here.
But give it a go and see if you can conquer the skies! Try it out in free demo mode first of all, without paying anything, and let us know how you got on.
