Pearl Lagoon Slot

When I first came across this Pearl Lagoon game from Play’nGo, I got attracted to it. Why? Simply because it reminded me of my former favourite game Dolphin Reef from Playtech. There’s the dolphin, the turtle, the seahorse, and the fish, and I’m thinking, is this a cloned game of Dolphin Reef? After browsing through Pearl Lagoon’s paytable, only then I realised that is it not. What surprised me even further was that the paytable is more similar to another one of Playtech’s game, Safari Heat, also a former favourite of mine. Well, it looks like this Pearl Lagoon game is actually a combination of Dolphin Reef and Safari Heat.

I’m also wondering why the heck I haven’t been playing much of this game all this while, when it should also have been one of my favourite games like the other two! The paytable is good - 5 Wilds paying 250x the total bet, 5 Scatters paying 200x the total bet, and the free spins game offers 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier. Retriggering is also possible, but unlike unlimited retriggers in Safari Heat, Pearl Lagoon can only retrigger up to 60 free spins, but I guess this should be good enough.

Playing this Pearl Lagoon game got me confused at first, but only for a short while. Why? Because the Dolphin Wild symbol doesn’t expand into a full Wild Reel as in Dolphin Reef, but wins with the Dolphin Wild gets double payment as in Safari Heat. Anyway, this shouldn’t pose any confusion to other players, because I don’t think there are many other fanatics of the two Playtech games as I am, hehehe.

After playing Pearl Lagoon for a few times, I now know why this game couldn’t stick with me for long. To put it very briefly and very simply, Pearl Lagoon pays like Dolphin Reef does, despite having better winning potentials as in Safari Heat. Nevertheless, even those two Playtech games can no longer pay as good as they used to, so I’m not complaining much about Pearl Lagoon. Nowadays, it is very hard to find games that can pay good, because even the good old oldies have now been adulterated! Argh!

"Pearl Lagoon" is the marine themed version of Play 'n GO's golf themed slot "Gold Trophy II", meaning that these two games are exactly the same in terms of gameplay, paytable and even musical theme and sound effects. I quite like "Gold Trophy II", so by all logic I like "Pearl Lagoon" as well.

This slot requires a bit of patience to unlock its full potential. For instance, the bonus is quite volatile and can be hard to trigger, making it not always rewarding to play "Pearl...". I've had anything from around 10x to 250x in the free spins, usually playing 10 out of 20 possible lines (you can select anything from 1-20 lines on this slot).

However, "Pearl LagoonI" is capable of very nice line hits in the base game along the way, with 150x being the max. for a full line of either of the two top symbols with wilds. During the free spins pays are tripled, and you can retrigger the initial 15 free spins up to 3 times for a total of 60 spins. I've managed to retrigger a couple of times, with 45 spins being my best result.

Granted, compaired to newer Play 'n GO outings like "Reactoonz", "Moon Princess" and "Rise of Olympus", "Pearl Lagoon" may seem pretty old fashioned, but I still like the overall potential of this slot, especially the fact that you can adjust the number of played lines to your liking. As mentioned, I prefer to play this slot on 10 or sometimes even 5 out of 20 possible lines.

As mentioned, free spins can be hard to trigger on this one. And while I'm at nitpicking: I would like the retrigger in same free spins to be unlimited for higher potential, e.g. like the free spins in "Gold King" from same provider.

Pearl lagoon is a very old slot from Play n Go which has 5 reels and 20 pay lines. If you like the slot Myth from Play 'N Go then you will love this slot, however I feel this slot is much nicer and have a smoother feel to it when spinning the reels.

The graphics is a bit out dated for me and not so modern, as if you would compare it to imperial opera or gold king, but it has a nice water theme set in the ocean with all kinds of different sea animals which are the symbols in this slot. The dolphin act as wild and multiplies your win x2 whenever it substitute in a winning combination.

The pay table is very decent since it’s a very old slot, where the top paid symbol pays you 1000 coins for 5 of kind, which makes me wonder what would wild pay for 5 of kind, since it is not presented in the pay table. Maybe the same as the highest paying symbol or that combination is not programmed to take place.

Landing 3 shell scatters on the reels pat x5 your bet and gives you 15 free spins with a x3 multiplier. If you land 4 scatters it pays x25 and 5 scatters pays x200 your stake. You can retrigger the feature as much as you like, not sure if there is a limit and all scatter wins and normal wins are x3. If a wild dolphin substitute in a win, then you win is multiplied x6 and that’s where the big wins for this slot comes from.

I simply like this slot and it bonus often quickly, however do not expect big wins session all the times. It pays on average x30 – x60 your bet stake during bonus rounds. I have hit many base game hits with 5 of kind and wild substituting. My biggest win in this slot was just a little over x300 and I often get a good place in the battle of the slots on Videoslots free roll.

Pearl Lagoon is a very interesting video slot game from Play N` Go with an underwater theme. Maybe because of the water or the colorful fish this game is very relaxing and enjoyable to play. I have tried this game only once but I did not have a good experience at all. This slot ate my money very fast. I really wanted to see the free spins feature so I played the game until I managed to activate it.

Pearl Lagoon is a 5 reels and 20 pay lines video slot game. The highest amount that I have won while playing this slot was 3.50. I made a deposit and was looking for a game that I have not played before. I found this one and decided that it would be a good idea to try it. I had a feeling that the game will award me some good wins so I placed higher bets than I usually do. The lowest bet is 0.20 euros but I played with 1 euro. I do not do this often; I usually test the game at first before I raise my bet.

I could not even land 4 of a kind win while I played this game. And in case I did it was from the weakest symbols. The only attractive feature in this game is the free spins round. I got 3 gleaming pearl symbols when I was running out of cash. I got 15 free spins where all the wins were multiplied by x 3. I won around 30 euros from this round, but I saw that the free spins round has a potential to pay, thanks to the multiplier. Getting those 30 euros on my balance and placing 1 euro bets I was done playing the Pearl Lagoon video slot game in less than 50 spins. This is a great game but I wish it was easier to activate the feature.

At first glance "Pearl Lagoon" looks pretty nice, blue is the predominant color of its theme and it corresponds to moving water that is used as background accompanied by the image of a beautiful reef where live all sea creatures used for the symbols of this slot, of which we have a wild symbol, a scatter and 10 standard symbols, which we could say that those five represented with animal images are high symbols and the remaining five, represented with characters, are low symbols.

The wild symbol is represented with the image of a dolphin and additional to fulfill its usual role of substitute, the wild is provided with a win multiplier of x2 and it’s one of the main attractions of this game.

Scatters symbols are represented with the image of an oyster and a pearl and may appear on all reels and are the symbols responsible for the outbreak of a great round of 15 free spins whenever 3 or more scatters occur simultaneously, and I say greatbecause additional to the payout made according to what is contemplated in the paytable depending of the number of scatters obtained, all gains made during this round will be multiplied by 3, so that our best winnings during this round will be those made when we get combinations of high symbols with wild symbols, in which case our successes will be multiplied x 6, x2 for the wild and x3 for the round. To activate a free spins round is not really a rare occurrence, but it is likely that sometimes our patience is tested to the fullest while we await a new free round. In any way and because of the hit average that in this slot is not so high indeed, during the free spins round not always a very high profit is obtained and I clarify this because in some many other slots I already know, a round of free spins is almost synonymous of big win, and that is not the case in Pearl Lagoon.

I'd say a good money management is key in this game because it depends on we can use them up the winning streaks, whom I would add this game would possibly be one of my choices when playing on a real account and apparently I would not be the only in this position since I can see the level of acceptance of this game is pretty good among members of several casino forums.

The first time I saw the game Pearl Lagoon I actually mistook it for another game that I sometimes used to play. That game is called Dolphin Reef but soon enough I realized that Pearl Lagoon from casino software provider Play’n Go is a complete different game. The symbols look quite similar though so I guess that’s why I assumed it to be that video slot.

While I was spinning I decided to keep on playing anyway, since the game actually looks quite good on the outside. Graphics are nice, animations are spot on as well with the Dolphin making his infamous jump after generating a win. Furthermore, Pearl Lagoon has a nice background which takes you deep into sea all the way to the coral reef with some beautiful sights.

I play slots to be able to relax and this game does exact that. Pearl Lagoon offers 5-reels, 3-rows and 20-paylines. The lowest bet size is 20 cents, but not fixed so you can play less paylines if you want to bet lower. I would always advise to use the max number of paylines though.

I played this game on 1 euro bets most of the time. The main symbols too look out for are of course The Dolphin, which acts as a wild and 2x multiplier. So Dolphins are really the key to create good winning combinations. The other very important symbol is that of the Oyster.

Collecting 3 or more means access to the free spins feature which awards 15 free spins and a 3x multiplier. Wins made possible with the Dolphin Wild would even award a 6x multiplier. During the base game I wasn't too successful. Played like 300 spins and didn't manage to win more than 25x bet. So I was really depending on the free spins to make a profit.

I managed to trigger the free spins twice. First time I triggered it I didn't win more than only 5 euros. While I was still steaming after being done like that, three Oysters appeared again after a few spins. This time it was payback, since I had very good wins thanks to the Dolphin. I managed to win more than 180x bet and stopped playing right there to end my session with a profit.

The max win would be 30,000 coins in free spins for a 5oak Wilds. A rare combination but it shows this game has big potential, but you’d have to get really lucky since other symbols pay considerably less.

Pearl Lagoon for Play'n'Go casinos is what is Great Blue for Playtech casinos. Apart from a few minor aspects, the entire slot and the whole game play largely resembles with Great Blue. I am almost sure that the Playtech slot has been the starting point for the developers of Pearl Lagoon.

The parts of the slot that are different from Great Blue are undoubtedly better. Thus, in some ways the creators of this slot brought new things that is, a whole lot better design, some prettier graphics (the slot symbols are more colorful, the fish seem to be more “real” and in addition when playing you feel like making a true diving below the surface of a lagoon from the Pacific Ocean). The sound background of the slot is also nice and the total wins are for sure bigger than when playing at Great Blue.

Still, the similarities with Great Blue are still numerous. The symbols represent the same types of fish (except Great Blue himself that is replaced by a Dolphin). For example the Turtle even makes exactly the same movements when animated. Like Great Blue in the first slot, the Dolphin (Wild) brings a 2x multiplier, but here Wilds are not are stacked. The same, Free Spins round is triggered by the 3 same "Shells" and the total wins awarded by it have about the same value as those from Great Blue (the number of Free Spins here is still bigger here). The only exception are the payouts from normal spins that here are more frequent and of bigger value. So for me at least, even if I have not won a lot or I played too much, I managed to finish the game with some extra money. 200-250 spins were enough to be able to make a complete comparison with the Great Blue.

Too much praise and or too many negative observations cannot be made, and in general (like when playing Great Blue) I was under the impression that this is a slot somewhat better than the average.
