Playing Venezia d’Oro
There’s unusual semi-transparent reels, giving players a better view of the city from one of its famous canals. The reel surrounds are in an ornate gold pattern and above them we see an equally ornate title along with the Club, Diamond, Heart and Spade progressives that are linked to the Jackpot Cards side game.
In common with many pokies, the high card symbols will tend to create the smaller value winning combinations, but these will also be the most frequently seen, with the number 9 returning prizes of 5, 10 or 100 coins when filling 3, 4 or 5 reels of a payline at a 1-coin per line stake. 10, J, Q and K are worth increasingly more, topping out with the A that pays 10, 30 or 200.
A lamp post, mask and statue on top of a column are the middle-value symbols and then we get to a Venetian woman who pays 35, 100 or 800 coins and the man who is worth 50, 100 or 1000 when landing across a payline. Both of these characters are in traditional outfits, setting Venezia d’Oro firmly in the past before the city became clogged up with tourists.
