The slot's background welcomes players to a mystical field, characterized by various rocks with glowing runes imprinted on them. It's clear that in this slot, Asterix and Obelix are seeking advice from Panoramix, the village druid. A touch of magic, after all, doesn't hurt when trying to overcome Fate! The soundtrack is relaxing and peaceful, a melody you might hear in the village's quietest tavern while enjoying a good mug of beer. The minimum bet allowed in the slot is €1, while the maximum reaches €100.

Consulting the paytable, you can discover all the prizes offered by the game's charming characters:

• Axe pays up to 10x.

The minor symbols are A, K, Q, J and 10: they all offer a minimum payout of 1x to a maximum of 5x for 5 matching icons. The Scatter symbol, in turn, offers prizes of 1x, 10x or 50x the base bet.

Bonus features of Ways of the Gauls slot

Wild: represents the druid Panoramix and substitutes for all base symbols. Appears on reels 2, 3 and 4.

Scatter: depicts the druid's magic cauldron and activates the Free Spins extra feature when landing 3, 4 or 5 times on the reels.

Bonus Symbol: bonus icons feature a wooden shield with either a money value or a triskele symbol imprinted. 6 or more of these icons activate the Respin Feature.

Extra Potion Symbol: can only appear on the extra 3-slot reel and optimizes Wild or Bonus symbols, facilitating extra feature activation or offering win multipliers up to x16.

Free Spins: initial free games are 6, but the feature reactivates if you get 3 or more additional Scatters.

Respin Feature: wooden shield icons award 3 Respins, during which you'll try to fill the grid with this type of tile. When an icon locks on screen, it resets the number of Respins. The feature ends only when no new icons appear for 3 consecutive spins or when the entire screen is filled with tiles: in the latter case, you win the Grand Jackpot. The triskele icons, at the end of the feature, transform into one of the 3 additional Jackpots offered by the slot and return the relative payout.

Jackpot: in the Respin Feature, you can win 4 prizes. Mini Jackpot gives 500x the base bet, Minor Jackpot pays 1,000x the bet, Major Jackpot offers 50,000x the initial bet.

Buy Bonus: for 40x the base bet, you can force the activation of the Respin Feature. Paying 50x the initial bet activates the Free Spins. During purchased bonuses, the slot's RTP drops to 94%.
