The Discovery: compasses, spyglasses and an island on the horizon

An old-style explorer slot on Mega888 with a parchment background, 25 lines and the usual three-counter jackpot strip. No fruit, whatever the old page said.

The Discovery reels on parchment with a brass compass, two green island pictures, a spyglass, a hibiscus flower and a ship captain portrait, LINES 1 and BET 0.01

The balance box in the bottom-left corner tells the story of these seven screenshots: 101.19, then 101.18, 101.17, 101.16, 101.15. Someone was spinning The Discovery one line at a time for 0.01 a go, which is the cheapest way to see what the reels hold.

The reels are laid out on old parchment with "The Discovery" in brown script on a wooden plank above them and a blue sky behind. The line numbers 1 to 25 run down both sides in small tabs. When only one line is active, tab 1 lights up yellow on each side and the rest go grey, which is the "yellow overlay" the old page mentioned. When all 25 lines are on, every tab shows its own colour.

The symbols are all about a sea voyage: a brass compass rose in a wooden frame, a brass spyglass with a pair of dividers, a green island rising out of blue water, a pale hibiscus flower, a stern captain in a navy coat and an island woman with long dark hair. The card symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A in coloured letters wrapped in rope.

In this shot the compass fills all of reel 3 and turns up on reel 2 as well, each one on a darker wooden background that makes it stand out from the parchment. That usually marks a special symbol, but without a paytable screen I can't tell you if it's the wild, the scatter or neither.

Bet panel and jackpots

The bar is Mega888's older layout: CURRENT BALANCE, LINES with minus and plus, BET with minus and plus, WIN, AUTO START and SPIN (STOP while the reels turn). No currency is printed. The first shot was set to 25 lines and BET 1.00; I can't see a total, so I don't know if 1.00 is per line or for the whole spin. Every other shot is at 1 line and 0.01.

Across the top are three counters: MAJOR, RANDOM and MINOR. They swing a lot between shots: MAJOR drops from 1910.17 to 620.24 and climbs back to 1157.34 within the same short session. I can't tell from here how they're won.

If the sea theme is what you're after, Lost Island is another 25-line island game, Pirate Ship has skull wilds and free spins, and Great Blue goes under the water. The Mega888 overview covers logins and IDs, and the full list is on the Mega888 game page. An agent can issue you a Mega888 game ID.

Questions people ask

What symbols are on The Discovery?

A brass compass, a spyglass, a green island, a hibiscus flower, a ship's captain, an island woman and the card symbols 9 to A. The old page listed peaches, lemons and other fruit, but there's no fruit on any of the seven screenshots.

Does The Discovery have free spins?

I couldn't tell. None of the screenshots show a bonus screen or a paytable, so I don't know which symbol is the wild or scatter.
