Review
This game presents an interesting release with an intriguing gameplay featuring an unusual expanding reel layout, sticky wilds, and free spins. However, there’s room for improvement regarding the outer look and math.
It’s strange to see this slot having pretty basic graphics and sounds. It has a look that makes you wonder if the developers were going for some sort of retro thing. Whether they were or not, the game looks more dated than stylish, and another drawback is that it strongly lacks a soundtrack.
The actions of the slot take place across a non-standard 5-reel setup. The first two reels have only two rows, and the next ones have three. Additionally, they expand during the features up to four rows, producing bigger winning opportunities. By default, players have 40 ways to play on each spin. However, should the bonus kick in, the number increases to 60.
This game caters to any kind of gambler, as bets from €0.1 to €500 are available. As we head over to the math, however, we see the developers hadn’t put a lot of effort into the balancing. The RTP clocks in at 95.48%, which is lower than average, and the max win is just awful at only 1,000x the bet. Luckily, there’s not much risk involved, given the medium rating of the game’s volatility.
Winning combos are scored when at least 3 matching symbols appear adjacently on the reels starting front the leftmost, and there are 10 of them in total, split into two categories. The lower section comprises familiar A-10 card ranks, and the premium lot includes anchors, octopuses, ships, mermaids, and lighthouses. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins pay 1x your stake, and combinations of higher symbols are worth from 1.5x to 2.5x your stake. Pretty low values indeed.
Features
There are two Wild symbols included to help you create winning combinations, namely regular and golden skull symbols. They are available on all reels, substituting for any other pay symbols, but they don’t have a value of their own.
The slot relies heavily on the Free Spins feature, which is central to the gameplay. Symbols on the bigger reels can appear with either bronze, silver, or gold coin icons attached to them, which are Scatters. During the reel spin, if two such symbols appear on reels 3 and 4, the number of rows on reels 3, 4, and 5 increases to four, and that spin is played at 60 win lines.
If three Scatter symbols appear simultaneously on the reels, the bonus is activated, and depending on the type of the Scatter symbols, players can receive the following number of free games.
- 3 Bronze Coin Scatters - awards 2 Free Spins
- 3 Silver Coin Scatters - awards 3 Free Spins
- 3 Gold Coin Scatters - awards 5 Free Spins
The Free Spins are played on the expanded reels, and it’s not possible to retrigger the feature as Scatters are not available. During the bonus, all Wild symbols are sticky, plus each gold skull awards +1 extra spin. Finally, the first two reels always reveal the same symbols.
Review Summary
This game creates a controversial impression. On one hand, the gameplay is indeed fun, having a few tricks to keep players hooked onto their screens. On the other hand, both the design and math model leave much to be desired. Therefore, it won’t make much furor among slot enthusiasts.
