Sea God

Overview Sea God

Stakelogic in this game has plunged players deep into the turbulent seas to risk their fortunes with one of the mightiest gods from the Greek mythological canon- Poseidon. As well as danger in the form of whirlpools and unearthly sea-dwelling creatures, there are also great rewards to be found in this game. Indeed, if players are lucky, they will discover the bounty of the sea in the form of enormous pearls. Will you risk your neck in the chaotic realm of water to come away from a champion or cower to the might of Poseidon’s trident?

In terms of bonus features, Stakelogic has included quite the range for this game. These include a wild bonus – the symbol for which is the marine deity himself. This symbol can appear both in regular format and as a staked symbol, growing the symbols influence per space on the board. Sea God also has a free spin round which grants you 8 free spins. Lastly, there is the Super Reels feature, which gives you 9 rows to play on and expands the number of pay lines to 45.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for Sea God is- as we have already discussed - Greek Mythology, and more specifically the story and domain of Poseidon the ancient Greek god of the sea. What players might not know about Poseidon is that he is also the god of earthquakes and the creator of the horse. Poseidon was famously an irascible character who had many a quarrel with his fellow gods. The theme pulls together the classic image of Poseidon, the tempestuous seas and other elements to great effect.

The background for Sea God is as you might expect, an image of a stormy sea with great waves curling and breaking on either side of the board. Above the ocean’s anger is a sky rent with lighting, adding to the tumultuous atmosphere of the game. The main visual feature for this game however is Poseidon himself who stands on a pedestal to the right-hand side of the reels. He is portrayed as a muscular man with long hair and a beard, wearing a flowing tunic.

The board on the other hand is more like a conventional Greek tablet encased in gold. The margin of the board is finished with a crashing wave motif which ties into the nautical theme. The background colour for the interior of the board is also fitting as it is a deep blue.

This game’s symbols are split into high-paying, low-paying and special symbols. The lower paying symbols comprise the J, Q, K and A in card royals. The high paying symbols on the other hand are the coin, the dolphin, the horse, the trireme ship, the Pantheon and the logo with the text Sea God. The specials include the wild, which for this game is an image of Poseidon. These symbols as mentioned can land in singular and stacked formats. The scatter symbol is the large clam with a gleaming white pearl nestled inside it.

Features

The first feature of this game is the Wild bonus. This game’s wild helps to create more winning combinations by substituting in for other symbols (barring the specials). This Wild can also land as a Stacked Wild that covers the entire reel on which it landed.
This game also has what is called a Super Reels feature.

This bonus is triggered completely at random at any time during the base game. When this feature is activated, the reels expand to contain 9 rows in total. This also expands the number of available pay lines to 45. You will be given 3 spins with this upgraded format, where the chances of landing stacked symbols also increase.

Next on the feature list is the free spins bonus. To activate this feature, players must land 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels at the same time. Having activated the feature, the game will provide you with 8 free spins. Depending on how many scatters you landed to trigger the feature determines the direct cash prize that you are offered at the beginning of the feature. Landing 5 scatters will give you an immediate cash bonus of 50x your stake. When you are playing this round, the scatter can only land on the middle reel. If they do land in the feature, then the Super Reels bonus will be triggered.

Lastly, this game has a Super Stake feature. This feature you can choose to activate at any time during the base game. This will double your bet. Doing so will increase the likelihood of you landing scatter symbols, which in turn increases the possibility of triggering the bonus free spins round.

Conclusion

With a top theme, loads of great features and a Super Stake option, Sea God is an attractive offering from the Stakelogic family and one that is worth checking out. As exciting Greek mythology slots go (and there are a lot of them) this is one of the standout games from a visual quality and gaming dynamics perspective.
