1429 Uncharted Seas

It’s true that the title of this slot reminds us of that historic first voyage to America. But 1429 Uncharted Seas is more broad in concept: it’s basically about the dangerous, treacherous and exciting art of sea-faring. As is expected of Thunderkick, the detail in the design of this slot is impeccable. From the opening scene of a captain’s cabin, down to the design of the reels themselves. They look like they’re set out on a map. The symbols are really cool as well – each one depicting either a famous sea monster, or the sun and moon. Seriously, they’re so artistically done we wouldn’t mind getting tattoos of all of them.

So, 1429 Uncharted Seas is about all things nautical. Sailors, ships with big sails, storms, krakens – you name it, this slot has somehow had it incorporated into its overall theme. It makes us think of all the great sea adventures we know of – Moby Dick, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea, Pirates of the Caribbean. You know, those kind of classics. And it’s drawn with such a rustic style that we can’t help but love it. We’d recommend taking a quick spin on this slot just to appreciate the level of quality work that has gone into the making of this video slot.

One of the cons we’ve listed of this game is that it doesn’t have many special features or bonuses. Which is completely true. But, to be fair, this 1420 Uncharted Seas slot isn’t meant to be one of these high risk, high paying slots. It’s just meant to be a fun way of spending some time unwinding.

With that said, let’s get stuck into the two special features this slot does have: Expanding Wilds, and the Bonus Game.

We love this video slot for its charming design and attention to detail. But, admittedly, it doesn’t have the greatest of payouts. If you take a look at the paytable above, the higher paying symbols still don’t pay out much in comparison with other video slots. Another Thunderkick slot like Well of Wonders, for example, is way more volatile and has way higher payouts.

In about 100 spins on this slot, we managed to trigger the bonus game only twice. Which isn’t a lot. But, the Expanding Wild slot is a common occurrence that can get you decent small wins that make up for the money you’re betting. Since 1429 Uncharted Seas has fixed paylines, players can’t do much to adjust their bet per line. So you can either play with $0.10 or with $100 per spin. We wouldn’t recommend spinning $100 with this slot. Even landing 5 of a kind of the higher paying symbols won’t cover your cost for that.

Still, 1429 Uncharted Seas has a payout rate of 98.5%. And we can say that, although we didn’t really win big, we didn’t lose much money either on a $1.00 bet. It’s a safe, simple and relaxing game to play.
