The Latin speakers out there will already have a sense of what Blueprint Gaming’s Convertus Aurum is about, with the phrase meaning the art of turning things into gold.That’s exactly what Blueprint are going for with this slot, but have they turned their hand to alchemy with this new title?
About the slot
With five reels and 10 paylines, Convertus Aurum is playable from 10p to £100 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.The slot takes place inside a huge library with potion bottles scattered around, while themed symbols on the reels include flasks, scales, and an owl, the latter of which will pay out an impressive 500x your stake for five on a payline.The lower values are, as is traditional, the 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols, while the alchemist plays the part of the wild, substituting for all other symbols.This is a good looking slot, while the concept has been tackled by other titles in the past, Convertus Aurum takes a fresh approach, simple, yet effective.
Gameplay
The alchemist wild symbol takes on extra duties if you manage to trigger the Free Games feature, which is done by landing three or more scatter symbols on the reels.You will receive up to 30 free spins here (for five scatter symbols) and every wild that lands on the reels will turn all of the low value royal symbols into gold bars.Those gold bars are worth 15x your stake for five on a payline, and it’s more than possible to land them across a few paylines on a single spin, so this can be a lucrative feature.In terms of gameplay, there isn’t a lot going on in Convertus Aurum, which is rare for Blueprint, but a pleasing design and a decent free spins feature does a lot to make up for that.
