Big Time Gaming continues to rock the online casino sector with its latest slot release, Holy Diver.

BTG

The game, more than two years in the making, is themed around the popular 1980s rock song of the same name performed by American heavy metal band, Dio.

Holy Diver features BTG’s MegaWays mechanic, giving players up to 117,000 ways to win in the base game and up to 586,971 ways to win in the bonus game.

It is also the first game to feature BTG’s Reel Adventure mechanic, which allows the developer to introduce complex narratives and interactive characters to its slots.

BTG has used this in Holy Diver to create three worlds with three tiers of volatility that the player controls by choosing to play the bonus round or to level up and play the base game with a multiplier.

This is unlocked when an animated knight moves along a path below the reels. When he comes across a treasure chest he opens it to reveal one of four reel modifiers: Standard Symbol Bonus, where one of the low-value symbols is randomly chosen and converted into a Wild; Sword Bonus, which adds up to three full Wild reels with a multiplier of up to x7; Fireball Bonus, which shoots up to four Wild symbols onto the reels; and Gem Symbol Bonus, which awards one or more Gems which are then transformed into Wilds. The Wilds can come as x2 or x3 multipliers as you climb through the levels.

Holy Diver will launch exclusively with LeoVegas on January 23 and Royal Panda a day later, before being made available to the wider market on February 7.
