With spectacular special symbols, fun animations and great features there is no need to be scared of what you may come across unless you fear the treasure in the underwater mysterious cave!

Game Play

Playable on 5-reels, 3-rows and 25 pay lines Great Ocean is tremendous fun and really easy to play and offers a number of ways to win. On the reel’s players can expect to come across a wealth of marine life including clownfish, starfish, crabs, tropical fish and an octopi as well as the usual playing card symbols ranging from 10 through to Ace. The wild is depicted by the Orca whale whilst the games scatter is an oyster complete with pearl. In the bottom right of the screen are the menu button, sound controls, the total bet and balance.

Whereas in the bottom left are the controls to play the slot which include the line bet, spin, auto play and fast forward. The controls are straightforward which makes this an ideal slot for both beginners and experienced players. The aim for players is to land at least three of the same symbol on one of the 25 pay lines. Play starts with players deciding what they want to bet on an individual spin and the bet amount determines the amount that can be won. There are several special features that give players the opportunity to bet without having to invest money directly just increasing their chances of winning.

Game Features

Landing three or more of the oyster and pearl scatter activates the Great Ocean bonus feature, and they are instantly awarded 8 free spins which come into play immediately. Whilst the free spins feature is in action the reels can keep spinning without the player having to bet again but it becomes active again when a winning combination is landed. As well as this when the internal game is in play a table will appear with shells on it.

The task for the player is to open the shells to uncover which has a pearl inside of it. Players can touch 2 – 3 of the shells and claim the prizes inside but it is the pearl that they will want to uncover. There is a total of 33 free spins with multipliers up for grabs and this can increase the winnings up to a massive 15 times its original value.

The wild can only appear on the 2nd and 5th reels and can substitute for all other symbols with the exception of the scatter. The wilds turn into sticky wilds in the extra rounds and these stay in their positions to assist in creating more winning combinations. Amongst the more unique feature are the stacks which see three identical symbols land on the 1st reel and award two re-spins. Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters on sequential reels will award 10, 20 or 30 free spins respectively and in the same way as the base game all of the wilds turn sticky.

Final thoughts

Great Ocean is a fabulous slot that certainly lives up to its name. The graphics are superb, and the marine themed soundtrack is a little on the cheesy side but will get players moving along with the ocean. The slot is a huge amount of fun and offers nail-biting stakes as well as high pay outs. Great Ocean can be played on all device which is ideal as it gives players the freedom to play whenever or wherever they are which is a huge appeal to players nowadays, and I would recommend giving this slot a go on your tablet to experience everything this slot has to offer.
