Slot Features
The game relies on cluster paylines mechanic that forms wins in symbol bundles of at least 5 symbols of the same type adjacent, clustered, and it offers many features and modifiers to help you score the highest win possible.
Treasure Map Collect
Map in a bottle is your symbol that helps trigger this round, and you will need 25 of them to progress to the next level. Why 25? Well, in the bottom right corner, next to the grid, you will notice a board that aims to collect map pieces that you will collect from the bottles, and once the map is complete, you can move on.
Wild Seas Modifiers
Each level has a Wild modifier which can trigger randomly on any losing spin, which will result in adding Wild symbols to the reels. Wilds can, of course, sub in for all the symbols in the game, except for the Map Bottle, to help you form a win cluster.
You will need though to watch out for the Wild Kraken that can emerge from the deep seas, because once it does, it will turn between 5 and 10 symbols to Wild, randomly. Wild Storm will bring up a tornado your way that can rip across the reels and turn between 3 and 9 symbols to Wild.
If you run across a Wild Whale, you need to watch out for his tail as it will splash a pattern of 5 Wilds onto the reels. In addition to that you may happen to see a Ghost ship – the Ghostly Galleon that will add anywhere between 2 and 5 Wild multipliers to the grid.
Captain’s Compass
Each win will charge the Captain’s Compass, and it has different charging levels where each one triggers a different modifier for the reels. The charge amount is shown above the compass to indicate which modifier gets triggered, and once it does, the compass will reset.
Rolling Rum will have between 1 and 3 barrels each transform between 3 and 6 vertical symbols into the same symbol. Musket Mayham will see between 5 and 12 symbols shot and removed from the reels. Cannon Blast will make sure that between 1 and 3 cannonballs are fired across the grid to remove an entire rows of symbols. Swarm O’Parrots will attack the reel and remove between 10 and 15 symbols.
Stormin’ Free Spins
Last, but not the lease important are the Free Spins that is a part of Compass Charge round. Once you hit 48 or more winning symbols the compass will charge to trigger the round and award 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 spins depending on the Ship’s Wheel spin. During the round you can see the lightning strike to award a win level multiplier on the compass, and this can happen up to 3 times each spin. Once a multiplier gets applied to any win during the round, it will reset back to zero for the next spin.
Summary
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me! Do you think that pirate life is your cup of tea too after this? In a recap, the slot has several positive aspects that we really liked – graphics, audio-visuals, and the gameplay. The hit frequency is, well, frequent, and it all happens on medium volatility with 96% RTP. It’s a really playful and interesting slot with a positive, jolly, atmosphere overall. The one aspect we surely would like to see get higher is the max cap on the wins which stops at x2416 the bet. In any case, we liked what it has to offer, and we would surely recommend giving this one a couple of spins.
Sea of Riches is another new release by iSoftbet which almost looks similar to a Gemix or Viking Runecraft type of slots with grid reels. First time I ever see something like this from iSoftbet. Makes you also wonder how often you will win that x1000 or more, as it next to impossible most times on your grid time slots.
Set with the backdrop of the ocean, seems like a pretty little nice island to me. Wish I was there instead of spinning the reels. You will find some low-paying coins symbols and higher-paying crystals. The red paying crystal will award you with x150 your total stake for 15 in clustered form, which seems pretty hard to get, but enough, with the base game, charge and, free spins features with multipliers is enough to keep you entertained for big wins!
The base game has treasure map symbols and you need to collect 25 symbols to proceed to the next level. The game has 4 levels and they are repeated when 25 map symbols are collected. However, each level also offers wild seas modifiers on non-winning spins which help create wins.
- Wild Kraken: The Kraken will turn 5 – 10 random symbols on the reels wild (This is my favourite feature and can generate big wins.)
- Wild Tornado: Tornado will spin on the reels turning 3 – 9 symbols wild
- Whale Tale: A giant Whale Tale will splash on the reels turning 5 symbols wild
- Ghostship: The ship will add 3 – 5 wild multipliers on the reels.
The Captain's compass also triggers modifiers once you have collected combo wins of 24 symbols or more and you will have additional features that will help you win more clustered combos. You need to collect in total 48 symbols to trigger free spins almost like Gargatoon.
During free spins on each spin, if a win is generated on the reels, you will be awarded x2 up to x10 multipliers to be applied to that win. Here is where the big bucks are waiting, and the game can play during free spins.
I played the slot a few days ago and it was cold until I tried it again and managed to increase my balance by x250 within 10 minutes or less and without free spins.
