Gameplay and Betting

- Paylines: 14
- Minimum bet: £0.10
- Maximum bet: £5.00
The current balance is displayed in the BALANCE field and all amounts are shown in the player’s chosen currency. To change the bet, players can use the arrows beside the BET display and select the preferred bet level within the allowed range.
To spin, either press the SPIN button or use the spacebar on the keyboard. Winnings for each round are displayed in the WIN field, with each winning combination shown sequentially during the win presentation. Only the highest win per payline will be paid and multiple wins in one spin are combined.
Winning Combinations
Wins occur when matching symbols land along one of the 14 predefined paylines on consecutive reels from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. The same rules apply during bonus features and free spins unless otherwise noted. The paytable provides details on how many symbols are required for each win.
Wild Symbols and Wild Reels
The WILD symbol substitutes for all other symbols in the game. When a Treasure Chest symbol appears, it may expand into a Wild Reel if a winning combination would be created. An expanded Wild Reel covers the entire reel and reveals one of three characters—Octopus, Mermaid, or Ocean King—each offering different multiplier values:
- Octopus: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, or 9x
- Mermaid: 10x, 15x, or 20x
- Ocean King: 25x, 50x, 100x, or 200x
The multiplier shown by the revealed character applies to the entire Wild Reel and affects any winning combination that includes it. If multiple Wild Reels contribute to the same win, their multipliers are added together and applied to the payout. Each position within an expanded Wild Reel counts as a Wild. Treasure Chest symbols can appear on any reel, but only one can land per reel at a time.
Bonus Features
Deep Blue Bonus Game
Trigger the Deep Blue bonus round by landing 3 FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game. This round awards 10 free spins. During this feature, any Treasure Chest symbol landing on the reels expands into a Wild Reel, regardless of whether it forms a win.
These expanded Wild Reels can reveal between 0 and 3 lives and remain sticky for subsequent spins while lives remain. Each sticky Wild Reel loses one life at the start of each spin and receives a new random multiplier from any character tier before the spin begins.
On the final free spin, if at least one Wild Reel with remaining lives is present, the Last Chance feature activates. This provides free respins until no Wild Reels have lives left. During Last Chance, new Treasure Chests may add more expanded Wild Reels, potentially with new lives, though no Wild Reel will receive more lives than the highest currently present.
Extra FS symbols during the bonus can add more free spins:
- 2 FS symbols: awards 2 additional spins
- 3 FS symbols: awards 4 additional spins
The bonus session ends when there are no more spins and all Wild Reels have no lives remaining.
Down Under Bonus Game
The Down Under bonus game is activated by landing 4 FS scatter symbols in the base game, awarding 10 free spins. This mode retains the Deep Blue bonus mechanics, with an additional rule that sticky expanded Wild Reels never receive a multiplier from a lower tier than the one initially revealed. Multipliers for sticky Wild Reels are still selected randomly from within their tier at the start of each spin.
Additional FS symbols during this round also grant more spins:
- 2 FS symbols: awards 2 additional spins
- 3 FS symbols: awards 4 additional spins
Hidden Treasures Bonus Game
The Hidden Treasures bonus feature is triggered by landing 5 FS scatter symbols in the base game and provides 10 free spins. It plays with the rules of the Down Under bonus but guarantees that there will always be two active expanded Wild Reels on the grid for the duration of this bonus round.
Landing extra FS symbols will grant additional spins:
- 2 FS symbols: awards 2 additional spins
- 3 FS symbols: awards 4 additional spins
Symbol Payouts and RTP
Symbol payouts are shown in the paytable and adjust according to the selected bet level. The return to player (RTP) value is available within the game interface.
Maximum Win
The maximum possible win in this slot is 10,000 times the chosen bet. If this value is reached, a notification appears, the round ends, and any outstanding bonus rounds or spins are discarded. All winnings are awarded up to this cap.
Free Spins Display
During free spins, each spin’s win appears in the WIN field, while the TOTAL WIN field tracks all accumulated winnings alongside the number of remaining spins.
