Mermaid Treasure

The world’s oceans are surely still hiding long-lost treasures, either inside sunken ships that have been lying there for centuries or inside chests that only the fish know about. The pirates are no longer there to chase the treasures, but you still can! 

The game creators at Xin Gaming have enlisted the help of a gorgeous creature of the sea, she will lead your way to big piles of gold in Mermaid Treasure. You might not be able to hold your breath as long as her, though, so make sure there’s an oxygen tank on hand because this game is played entirely underwater! 

Theme

The reels are placed right on the ocean floor, there is some vegetation and rocks behind while some fish just cruise around from time to time. The light of day filters through the splendid blue water, while you concentrate on finding that elusive treasure. 

The background music is relaxing and mysterious at the same time, while the sound effects are all in line with the underwater location. The reels are populated with various creatures of the ocean, from beautifully-coloured fish to octopuses and seahorses. 

Betting Options and Functions

This game has a classic grid with 5 reels and 3 rows, with 10 fixed paylines. Winning combinations can only be formed starting with the leftmost reel, and you will need at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels to get a prize. 

The Mermaid is, obviously, the most valuable symbol you can find in this ocean, she can be worth up to 1,000 times the stake. This product has medium to high volatility, while the theoretical return to player is set at 96.15%. 

Features

The Mermaid is both beautiful and Wild, she will be able to substitute for any other symbol in the game in an attempt to give you more winning combinations. Moreover, when you get two or more Mermaids on screen they will transform into Expanding Wilds, taking up entire reels! 

And that’s not all! 

Two or more Wild symbols will also trigger the Free Re-Spin feature, which will see all Expanding Wilds moving down one row only after a winning spin. The reels will keep re-spinning until there is no Wild left on screen! 

Conclusion

Mermaid Treasure is a simple but enjoyable video slot from Xin Gaming, a studio that has plenty of experience when it comes to the iGaming industry. The transparent reels and the crisp symbols are quite lovely to look at, while the soundtrack does a good job of accompanying the action. 

It is true that the maximum prize offered is a bit on the low side, but that doesn’t take away from the actual beauty of the game. Moreover, the Free Re-Spin feature is not bad at all, because only the winning spins will count towards ending the round.
