IGT’s new Skeleton Key slot is not for the feint of heart – it classes as highly volatile, and it features a dark and mysterious storyline. But for those captivated by dark mystery and the potential of super-high rewards, Skeleton Key may just become the game they’ve been waiting for all year long.
Starting off with 5×3 reels and 243 ways-to-win in the basegame, the grid can potentially expand all the way to an incredible 7,776 ways-to-win setup. But that’s not all, because so impressive is the maximum payout, that this alone reaches as high as a phenomenal 83,333x the player’s bet wagered in the basegame. And at a maximum allowable bet of $300 for a single spin, it’s easy to start building castles in the sky about what all to spend the possible winnings on.
Special features typically make the journey to those big wins a whole lot easier, and lucky for online gaming enthusiasts, there’s no shortage of these. Bonus symbols and features include Wilds, Expanding Reels, Scatters, a Mystery Feature, and a Free Spins Bonus game.
Unlocking 10, 20, or even 30 free games is as easy as landing off a single spin 3, 4, or 5, of the game’s Padlock Scatter symbols.
Expanding the starting reel setup will require of the player to successfully land the Key bonus symbol. This will cause the relevant column to expand from 3 symbols to 6 symbols. Those lucky enough to have landed all 6 Keys, will benefit from the full impact of all 7,776 ways-to-win becoming available.
