The game is an improved version of the original Black Hawk and immerses players in a gloomy gothic atmosphere of an old castle with prisms and secrets.

4. Maximum win — up to 600x from the bet.

Design and atmosphere

Black Hawk – Deluxe is designed in a dark gothic style: the background serves as a polurazrushennyy lock in the moonlight, and the symbols are executed in the spirit of medieval gravure. The sound accompaniment enhances the tense atmosphere — deep blows of barabans, the howling of the wind, and the evil chords create an effect of complete immersion. The graphics are of high quality even by modern standards, and the animations are smooth and detailed.

• Use the Gamble Feature carefully — it increases the potential winnings, but also raises the risk of total loss.

  • The probability of a big win (100x+) — low at standard volatility, increases when selecting 'High'.
  • Maximum theoretical win — 600x of the total bet per spin.
