Sea Journey Slot Machine
The ocean can be a superb setting for a great deal of online casino slots – from the monsters of the deep in the Eye of the Kraken slot by Play’N Go to wonderful Dolphin’s Quest by Microgaming, but Gamesys have created something visually stunning with their latest release – the Sea Journey video slot is the place to be for surfing, sailing, dolphin watching and last-minute escapes.
The free Sea Journey slot is a 5 reel, 20 win line animated slot that welcomes bets from a low limit stake of 0.20 to a high roller stake of 200.00. Feel the waves crash against the shore and the wins flow into your bankroll, thanks to the handful of bonus features on offer, which are; wild symbols, scatter symbols, multipliers and a gamble feature. If you manage to board the cruise ship before it takes off, you could trigger a non-progressive jackpot of up to 50,000 coins.
Surf’s Up
Speedboats, yachts, jet plane, sailing boat, island, dolphin, surfers, anchors, hot air balloons, jet skis and a cruise ship are the vivid symbols that can be found floating around the reels of the game. With a 5x3 setup, the 15 symbols can fall in any number of ways, but the key symbol to look out for is the cruise ship. An ocean bed set beyond the slot machine and the paylines are highlighted on various coloured clouds either side of the machine, and as always, the Gamesys control panel full of plentiful features can be found to the lower of the screen with the bankroll, wins and bets shown above.
Players are required to adjust the lines with the pre-set buttons, the credits per line and bet denomination, prior to setting the reels in motion. If you prefer to sit back, relax and listen to the waves crashing around you, you can choose to play automatically, by activating the auto play feature, this will carry on spinning at your stated bet until you take control pf the reels once more. Hit that set spins option on the control panel, to set a certain amount of spins instead of allowing it play out unlimited spins.
Splashing Wins
Get that cruise ship to dock on your active payline and you will be rewarded with as much as 50,000 coins, just for having five in place. Big bets will deliver huge cash sums, but even those on a smallest stake can trigger up to 5,000 coins. Medium value symbols are the jet plane with up to 8,000 coins, the sailing boat with up to 7,770 coins, the yacht with 7,000 coins, the island with 6,000 coins and the dolphin with 4,500 coins for a win line full of symbols.
Swimmingly Simple Features
Just two of the symbols on the reels offer more than base game wins; the cruise ship, which is your wild symbol and the jet ski, which is your scatter symbol. Wild symbols substitute for every symbol found within the game (bar scatter) to help form wins, plus when a wild completes a winning combination, the value of that is doubled.
Scatters are able to award multiplier wins, just for having at least 3 in view. If you trigger a win and would like to try for more, gamble this amount in the double, quadruple or bust gamble feature – but one incorrect guess will result in you losing the lot.
A Shore Thing
Simple and fun, that’s what you get with the Sea Journey slot machine, but you may get a little bored of the limited features on offer after a while playing. With it being a medium to high variance slot, you have to spin for lengthy periods before being rewarded, but the stunning visuals and ease of gameplay can ease the effect of sustained losses. As with all Gamesys slots, the number of buttons on the control panel is unnecessary in our opinion, there’s just too much going on. A single button allowing you to toggle paylines and another for credits per line would’ve been better so two opposed to the 8 on offer.
Auto and set spins is effectively the same thing – allowing you to sit back and watch the reels spin, but getting those reels into motion can prove to be quite tricky. Choose your lines, then you credit before finally selecting your denominations and then hit the credits button again, this will send your reels into motion – try not to hit bet max, of you’ll be playing 200.00 every turn.
