Before visiting the mysterious world of the deepest ocean waters, one should regulate their bet. Pressing “Bet” offers “Coins”, which selects the number of coins wagered and “Coin Size”, which modifies the coin value ranging from 0.01 to 0.5. Clicking the +/- “Bet” buttons alters the overall wager. “Spin” starts the game, while “Auto Play” spins the reels multiple times uninterrupted.
This game has an Expanding Symbol Bonus Feature. A full, matching symbol stack of the Ariana wild icon, the character of Ariana, Coral, Seadragon or Treasure symbol on reel 1 will activate the Expanding Symbol Bonus Feature. In this feature the full stack causes all other matching symbols on reels 2 and 5 to expand and create a wild reel. The Ariana wild symbol creates a stack only during Free Spins.
3, 4 or 4 Starfish symbols trigger 15 Free Spins, during which the wild card is stacked on reel 1. Free Spins can be re-triggered.

Well, surely now after about 200 spins played on Ariana, I arrived to where I started. I even have 16 cents extra, but important is that I played about 15 minutes and I am very satisfied with the game. Ariana is a very good improvement for a Microgaming slot. Compared to last Microgaming slots this game is better. After last week when I played at an RTG slot after I won and I met and all the RTG wagering I was denied what I earned and I was decided time to stop playing for a long time at a slot. But this Microgaming slot Ariana has done a miracle! I began to like playing slots again. It should have that these Microgaming slots be better. This is because with the exception of the slot “Rabbit in the Hat” all the recent MG slots were a total fiasco. A slot must have a good story and provide big returns and it should also have a pleasant appearance. This slot Ariana has a beautiful story, it offers sometimes good earnings and it is particularly pleasant to play.
Unlike NetEnt, Microgaming slots bring lower earnings during usual play. I mean you pay 25 cents per spin and earnings are not so big as not to lose. But Microgaming slots always bring those Free Games with them and winnings from Free Games are always enough to recover losses and obtain also something extra. I was saying that Ariana is a good slot because this slot sometimes brings good winnings.
Winnings from the usual game-play are equal to what you paid for but unlike while playing NetEnt here there are many losing games. Just that those 15 Free Games are played very often (about once every 30-50 spins) are they are almost always generous. It requires just one lucky game and you can earn 5-10 Euro which is about 20-40x bet.
Therefore Ariana is a good slot with a beautiful story, of a higher quality than all recent MG slots.
Unlike other NetEnt slots earn if you sometimes win and even if you are in advantage, you will never earn enormous. I have not had Big Wins here and the biggest winnings of Free Games were about 10 Euro.
