Artwork & cabinet
Where Columbus™ deluxe sits in NOVOMATIC's range
It is listed on the FUNMASTER 2.27 / 3.27 / 3.32 cabinet. The cabinet is the hardware — screen geometry, button deck, chair and speakers — and the same title is frequently released on more than one, which is why a game can look and feel different at two properties.
Mechanically it is a 5 reels / 10 pay lines game. Pay-line games award only on defined line patterns, which typically means fewer but larger hits than an equivalent ways-to-win title.
What "Columbus™ deluxe" actually refers to
NOVOMATIC sells the European way: a cabinet ships with a mix of dozens of titles behind one menu, and the operator licenses the pack rather than the individual game. So this entry is a game inside a mix, not a machine you will find standing alone on a floor.
That matters for payback. The theoretical return is configured per game per installation, and operators in most European jurisdictions choose from a set of approved percentages. Manufacturers ship the same title in multiple par versions — commonly spanning roughly 85% to 96% across the industry — and nothing on the machine tells you which one you are sitting at.
Numbers you find quoted for this title elsewhere are almost certainly from its online version, which is a separate product with its own certified maths and typically a higher published return.
Where to play
We don't yet have verified floor placements for this machine. Our casino cross-reference covers 442 properties, but only through IGT's public linked-progressive data — which doesn't reach NOVOMATIC titles. We would rather show nothing than guess.
Also on the NOVOLINE™ platform
The platform is the cabinet family — same screen geometry and button deck. If you can spot one of these across a floor, you can spot all of them.
