Miss Ocean

Journey under the sea with Miss Ocean, a mermaid-themed slot from the Italian design company Capecod Gaming. This game comes packed with three different wild symbols, free spins, a bonus round, and a beautiful visual design, set on the ocean floor.

Theme

A beautiful sea floor vista stands behind the transparent reels, setting the stage for a magical game. The bottom of the ocean is populated by bright-tinted corals and underwater plants, with schools of fish darting from corner to corner and a sunken ship (perhaps the retired former star of Capecod’s Wild Galleon) in the background. Gaming symbols include clownfish (a fish made famous by the Pixar classic “Finding Nemo”) , seahorses, starfish, a variety of shells, and the playing card symbols ace through ten. There are a trio of wild symbols: a great white shark sporting a broad, white-toothed grin, an oyster containing a shining pearl, and the mermaid herself, who expands to fill her entire reel when activated. Air bubbles act as the scatter symbol, the gateway to free spins, while a treasure chest, laden with gold, acts as the bonus symbol. A soundtrack featuring crashing waves and dulcet harp tones increases the sense of enchantment.

Betting Options and Functions

It’s clear that Miss Ocean’s game design is much stronger than that of the sunken ship players can see in the background: as per usual in Capecod Gaming’s titles, a solid design allows players to relax and enjoy the game, knowing that all fine points have been seen to. There are 25 adjustable paylines, with bet per line variable from 0.01–1.00. This yields an overall per-spin betting range of 0.01–25.00 times the betting currency. Autospins are available for up to 1,000 spins at a time, though players should use caution before stepping away from the game, as there are no protections in place for loss limits. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is slightly above the industry average at 95.42%.

Features

There are two main prizes to be won on this ocean floor. The more traditional of these is the Free Spin Bonus Game, which is triggered by the appearance of three or more scatter symbols on the reels. The second bonus feature is more unique: it is the Chests Bonus Game, which is triggered by the appearance of five chest bonus symbols anywhere on the reels. Three rounds of the feature will be awareded. In each round, players can choose one of the mermaid’s treasure chests. Those containing gold award cash prizes… empty ones do not. Prizes are proportional to the bet level in the round that triggered the feature.

Our Take

With Miss Ocean, Capecod Gaming demonstrates that it really is better down where it’s wetter. There is no need for singing crabs to keep this little mermaid-themed title in players’ good graces – yet another strong online slot from this excellent Italian developer.
