iSoftBet Presents an Exciting Marine Adventure in Sea of Riches Slot (First Brand’s Game with Cluster Pays)
iSoftBet is a popular London-based software provider that has been in the industry since 2010. It is surprising, but the brand known for a variety of slot machines did not have games with cluster mechanics in its portfolio. Until now. This UK software provider has recently unveiled the Sea of Riches slot that boasts cluster pays, as well as several other innovative bonuses. The game has plenty of features that are worth your attention, so we had a closer look at this release further in the article.
THE IDEA
The theme of the Sea of Riches is not new. The game invites you on a fun marine trip in a company of reckless pirates. The journey has an unexpected twist, and you find yourself on a deserted island. Rumor has it that a big treasure is hidden somewhere on the island. The temptation is big, and you start to hunt for it on the grid.
THE REALIZATION
While the idea is common for many slot machines, the realization is both entertaining and new. The background changes as you proceed with the game. Thus, you can see both a calm sea and rough storm. Whales, a swarm of parrots, and mythical creatures will also show up on the reels depending on the weather and the level you are in.
All in all, the general idea of the pirate’s slot is well-supported by characters and special features. Moreover, variable settings will not let you get bored.
THE MECHANICS
The debut in the field of slots with cluster pays turned out to be a success, and iSoftBet managed to make an outstanding product that will raise curiosity in admirers of this mechanics. The grid consists of 6 reels and 6 rows. You need to have a cluster of at least 5 identical symbols to receive a payout. Cascading wins are also available here.
On top of the typical features of cluster mechanics, iSoftBet added something extra. All winning symbols are collected and reflected on a special compass rightwards to the grid. When the compass is filled, it will start a set of random features. Furthermore, special bottle symbols hide pieces of a treasure map. When they land on the reels, pieces are collected. You need to have 25 of them to move to the next level with a new background and a new set of bonuses.
BONUSES & WINNING OPPORTUNITIES
The maximum payout in the Sea of Riches is 2,416x the stake. This major win, as well as numerous smaller payouts, can be received due to a variety of features.
One group of them is related to the level you are in. There are 4 levels, and they are as follows:
- Wild Kraken: this creature jumps out from the sea to throw anywhere between 5 and 10 Wilds to the grid.
- Wild Storm: a tornado can appear at random leaving from 3 to 9 Wilds on the reels.
- Wild Whale: it moves its huge tail adding a cluster of 5 Wilds to the grid.
- Wild Ghostship: when you see it, 2 to 5 Multiplier Wilds are to appear on the reels.
Another group of bonuses is related to the compass. You can activate Rolling Rum, Musket Mayhem, Cannon Blast, and Swarm o’ Parrots. A cherry on top is Stormin’ Free Spins launched when you collect 48 winning icons. They are played with increasing multipliers.
