Get lost out on a deserted island in Swept Away, the classic slot game. This slot is simple in setup, but offers a lot of fun to players that don’t mind going through that classic slot system. There are just three reels, and a handful of symbols. Keep reading to learn what Swept Away has to offer and what we thought of the slot game on the initial playthrough.
Basic Wagering
Swept Away, much like most other classic slot games, has just one payline to work with. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it does keep things a bit more limited. While placing wagers, you’ll have the option of gambling with between one and three coins, and three coins offers a pretty nice bonus in terms of prizes won from the game. Coin values can be set from $0.01 to $10.00 and with up to three to work with wagers range from $0.01 to $30.00 per spin. That’s a decent range, but tiny compared to what’s offered by modern-day 5-reel video slot games.
The Big Payout
Swept Away doesn’t feature any sort of progressive jackpot, so the major payout comes from the game logo symbol. This symbol will pay between 1,000 and 4,000 coins when you get three on the main payline, depending on the number of coins you’re wagering. It will also pay between 200 and 1,000 coins when off the paylines, depending on coins wagered. When betting the maximum amount on Swept Away, it’s possible to win up to $40,000 from the slot on a single spin. That’s not a huge payout, but it’s significant enough to excite many gamblers.
Most Prizes are Smaller
Other than the Swept Away logo symbol, most of the prizes in this classic slot are small. The next best thing that you can get is up to 300 coins from the fire symbol. From there things drop down really quick to 150 with the triple stacked SOS symbols, 60 with the double stacked and just 30 with the single SOS symbols when you get three of them. Most of the time you’ll be winning small prizes from this slot, with a couple of big ones turning up in times of good luck.
Auto Play and Max Bet
Swept Away comes with a few features designed to make the game a bit easier to play. There’s the Bet Max feature that will automatically bet the top amount of $30 per spin. If you want to risk the maximum amount, this button will save you a bit of time getting things set up.
The AutoPlay button lets you set a certain number of spins, and the game will go through them automatically. It’s possible to set up to 500 spins without you being there, and the slot will even stop the spins if you manage to get a large enough jackpot.
Swept Away is simple in design and easy for anyone to learn. The game offers a pretty solid top jackpot, but ultimately, it’s simpler than many gamblers are going to want. If you like things really basic, this is the slot for you. If you want wilds, bonus games and progressive jackpots, there are other slots that you’ll likely enjoy better.
