Special Symbols
Wild – The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols but cannot form independent paylines.
Hawk – The “Hawk” symbol is the game’s most valuable, with 3 as part of a winning payline earning you 5 times the bet.
Castle – The “Castle” symbol is the next most valuable symbol, with 3 as part of a winning payline earning you 2 times the bet.
Chest – The “Chest” is the next most valuable symbol, with 3 as part of a winning payline earning you 1.2 times the bet.
All other symbols will fail to win you back the value of your bet is you form paylines, including 3 symbols.
Gamble – Once you have landed a winning payline you can choose to gamble your winnings in an attempt to double them. When this happens you will have to choose between red or black suits of cards, trying to guess which colour will appear at random. Guess correctly and you double your bet. Get it wrong and you lose the lot.
Conclusion
Black Hawk is a game that you might expect to be better than it actually is. The aesthetics of the game might be lacking but the theme is interesting, the title is intriguing and as such you expect some features that will reflect that. Unfortunately, this is not the case and you are in fact left more than just a little bit disappointed. You get wilds, but they cannot form independent paylines, meaning that 3 of them in a payline actually pays less than 2! If you don’t count the gamble option, which I don’t, then that really is all you have here. The house edge is offering average value for money, which is no where near good enough for us to begin recommending this game.
