Mermaid Pays

Mermaid Pays Review

This slot aims to bring something interesting on the gameplay side of things. The action takes place across 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 winlines.

As its title suggests, Mermaid Pays is all about diving underwater and visiting some mermaids. Those enchanting creatures are always present on the screen, and we have to praise the designers for the attention they paid to the designs of the various symbols. The game’s user interface is a bit outdated with its huge letters and everything, but it’s nothing awful.

The mathematical model of Mermaid Pays offers a medium volatility level, but we have no reliable info about the actual jackpot. We can tell you, however, that you always have to play for at least £0.25 per spin. The max bet, on the other hand, stands at £100. That’s more than fair, as it means that both low rollers and high rollers can enjoy the game to the full. Unfortunately, the theoretical RTP of Mermaid Pays is somewhat below average at 95.50%.
