The 20,000 Leagues video slot available at all Cryptologic casinos offers a top jackpot of 5,000 coins times your line bet. It also features a free spin bonus feature where you can win up to 40 free spins in a single spin.

The game, just like Jules Verne’s classic book is based on the world undersea. It has symbols such as divers, sharks, submarines and sea captains. In addition to these symbols there are also playing card values of tens, jacks, queens, kings and aces making up the rest of the symbols.

20,000 Leagues comes in several coin sizes starting at five cents and going up to five dollars. You can select to play from between one and nine lines. Max bet is one coin per line which makes the lowest max bet 45c and the highest $45. While you definitely do not have to bet $45 a spin we do recommend playing max bet. At 45 cents it is cheaper than a two coin quarter machine.

To reel in the highest jackpot of 5,000 coins you need to hit five sea captains on any active pay line. There are two wild symbols. The yellow submarine appears only on reels 1, 2, 4 and 5. The 20,000 Leagues symbol is also wild but only appears on the 3rd reel. The wilds substitute for all other symbols and are also the key to getting the free spins.

After the 5,000 coin top jackpot the second highest win is paid for hitting the five divers for 2,000 coins followed by 1,000 coins which can be won by hitting one of three different wining combinations.

As we said, the wild symbols are the key to the free spins. To win the free games you need to hit the 20,000 Leagues symbol on the third reel and at least two submarines in any position. You get 10 free games for every scattered submarine so at the minimum you will win 20 free games and up to 40 for hitting all five of the bonus activating symbols.

All free games are played at the triggering bet size so it can pay to vary your bet occasionally in the with the chance of hitting the bonus with a higher than usual bet. The bonus can really hit big so it pays to have a nice bet level with it. The free spins offer a two times multiplier on all wins. This means if you hit the five sea captains during the bonus spins you are looking at a 10,000 coin win.
