If you are up for some underwater fun without getting wet, then you are in for a surefire treat in Mermaid’s Pearl, an online slot from Novomatic that features five reels and 20 paylines. This game is about the wonders of the deep sea and the creatures that dwell there.

The gameplay itself has quite a lot in store to surprise and entertain even the most grizzled of slot players. For a game named Mermaid’s Pearl, it should come as no surprise that players would have to deal with quite a lot of water as a design element. All’s well though as that’s actually pretty all that there is to it as this is far from the first aquatic-themed slot game players have come across.

The background is indeed of a uniform deep azure hue, representing the depth of the ocean, with a dash of light behind the game’s logo sitting on top of the screen. A keen eye would also spot some bubbles here and there, and also on the reels which have a light yellow color.

The simplicity of the background design clearly means that players must keep their eyes on the spinning symbols on the reels. And there is quite a contrast in terms of visual quality here: the design is cartoonish, the colors are pastel, and the lines are curvy. This makes for a rather lovely experience in the end, but not enough to distract us from what really is at stake here: the wins.

Mermaid’s Pearl is a slot that succeeds in combining both classic elements of gameplay, especially for players with lots of experience playing Novomatic games, and several thrilling features that would give the gameplay even more oomph.

The animations are simple but well-rendered, and the sound effects are also kept to a minimum. The occasional sound of bubbles popping would help you get engaged in the rich ocean of possibilities offered by the combining Wild and Scatter symbols.

The simplistic background design can be a drawback for some who are more into an engrossing visual experience. But in terms of sheer gaming fun, Mermaid’s Pearl is a slot that players should take the dive for.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

The mermaid herself is the most rewarding symbol on the reels with five on a payline giving you a whopping 10,000 coins. It substitutes for all symbols (except the Treasure Chest scatter) and pays out double when making part of a winning combination.

The scatter is the Treasure Chest with three or more triggering the Free Games feature. Three would give you 40 free spins while four gives you 50 free spins. If you manage to get five, you would be rewarded with a whopping 60 free spins! Remember that the Mermaid is the wild and will multiply wins by 2 when forming part of a winning combo.

BONUS ROUNDS

Things get more interesting with the extra bonuses available in Mermaid’s Pearl. You’ll find both Wild and Scatter symbols on the reels, which is incredible news, but it doesn’t stop there. Both symbols bring indeed a little extra into the game as well.
