Lord of the Ocean Slot Review

Lord of the Ocean Slot Overview

Lord of the Ocean is a classic casino slot from Novomatic set underwater along with mermaids and treasure chests. The main character, and best-paying symbol, is the Greek god Poseidon. Not only is he the god of the sea, but also storms, earthquakes, and horses. This game is all about conquering the ocean, though, so Poseidon doesn’t even have to worry about a seahorse right now. All players are hoping to open the gates to the Free Games where 10 free spins are waiting.

Lord of the Ocean is a video slot from Novomatic with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 paylines. The paylines aren’t fixed, though, so you could actually play on just one if you prefer. The Min.bet is 0.01 and the Max.bet is 50. The game has very high volatility with an RTP of 95.1%, where the lucky player landing Poseidon on all positions on the grid will score the max win 5000X the bet.

The features that can help you empty that treasure chest deep down in the ocean are Wild Symbol, Free Games, and Gamble.

Lord of the Ocean Slot Information

Although the main character in this video slot is Poseidon, the game doesn’t contain much Greek mythology. It somewhat reminds us of the Disney movie The Little Mermaid from 1989, where we get to know the princess mermaid Ariel, her best friend the tropical fish Flounder, and the crab Sebastian. Ariel’s dad, King Triton, has a lot of characteristics similar to Poseidon in Lord of the Ocean, both of them are, for example, wearing the three-pronged spear called trident. The underwater world Novomatic has built for us is uniform with pretty basic but good-looking graphics. As usual, the game provider manages to pay attention to the reels' symbols, although there are some nice details in the dark blue background. Everything the player can click on (menu, paytable, number of paylines, and bet amount) is located at the bottom of the game. At the bottom is also where you start a spin or set up the auto-spin. Players who have played other games from Novomatic will instantly recognize the music, which is pretty much the same blipping sounds as in Sizzling Hot Deluxe or Book of Ra Deluxe. Just as in mentioned games, the player of Lord of the Ocean has the option to turn off the music and just keep the sounds of the reels or to mute the game completely. This video slot has 10 paylines, and the player can choose how many he wishes to bet on. The game works on all devices: desktops, notepads, and mobiles. For making a win, the player needs at least 3 of the same symbols on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel. For the higher valued symbols is 2 of the same enough to trigger a small win.  

The lower paying symbols in this underwater adventure are 10, J, Q, K, and A. Landing 3 of the same of these symbols equals a win half the bet. If you get 5 of any of these symbols you will win between 10X and 15X the bet. The higher paying symbols are treasure chest, statue, mermaid, and Poseidon. Landing 5 of the same higher paying symbol will result in a win 75X to 500X the win. The max win of 5000X is achieved if you land Poseidon on all positions, scoring the highest win on all 10 lines. The game also has a very important symbol of a golden emerald-decorated shield, and this is the wild symbol substituting all other symbols in the game. The shield is also the scatter symbol, opening the doors to the Free Games if you land 3 of them anywhere on the reels. If you land 5 shields, you’re rewarded 200X your bet plus the Free Games.    

Lord of the Ocean Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Lord of the Ocean?

You can win up to 5000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Lord of the Ocean?

The features are Wild Symbol, Free Games, and Gamble.

Wild Symbol

The invaluable shield is both scatter and Wild Symbol in the hunt for treasures in this sea adventure. It substitutes all other symbols both in the main game and in the free spins.

Free Games

Land 3 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to activate the Free Games. This feature will give you 10 free spins where one of the symbols becomes a magical expanding one. That special symbol is randomly selected at the beginning of the free spins. During all the spins, and after payout of regular symbols, the special selected symbol will expand to cover all 3 positions on the reel if there are enough symbols for a win. A helpful thing is also that the reels don’t have to be adjacent to create a winning payline. There’s also a difference in the graphics in this feature compared to the main game. The reels aren’t spinning anymore; they just appear on the screen, sort of like a playing card is turned over.

Gamble

This feature is common among the video slots from Novomatic that allows you to play double or nothing on every win, both in the main game and the Free Games. The Total Bet button turns into a button saying “Gamble” in big yellow letters whenever you hit a win. If you press that button, you’ll choose if the next card in a card deck is going to be red or black. If you’re right, you have just doubled your money. If you’re wrong, you lose the win. For every step you take, you might win more money, but the risk of losing it all also becomes more significant all the time.  

Lord of the Ocean Slot Conclusion

Whether you’ve put on your swimming trunks or your swimsuit, you’ll find a visit to this underwater world quite entertaining. Just don’t expect it to be a breathtaking experience, because the graphics and music are all kind of basic. The environment that Novomatic has created for us is cozy, and it doesn’t matter that it lacks all signs of Greek mythology except the presence of Poseidon. Although you won’t find cutting edge graphics, we appreciate how good this game provider is at focusing on the reels and enhancing the gaming experience. The way the symbols are being revealed on screen in the Free Games feature is a try to be creative, but it would have been nicer with old-school spinning reels here. The music is also a gift and a curse depending on the player. It is really familiar for the experienced Novomatic player, but also very repetitive and monotonous.

The Free Games with the expanding symbol is also a recurrent thing from this game provider. The expanding symbol gives the game a lot of extra excitement, and the fact that it can connect to non-adjacent reels makes it just awesome. In general, the free spins are the highlight of the game, although the highest win of 5000X your bet could also be achieved in the main game. The Gamble feature is another nice mode. It could be the biggest heart rate booster of the game, considering you can play double or nothing on all wins, no matter their size. Take in mind that the auto-spin doesn’t stop on most wins, so you’ll have to stop it yourself if you want to gamble on a win. The RTP just above 95% is a little lower than average; we would, of course, wish for more. Considering the high volatility, the amount of money on your account can shift quickly. We appreciate that the player can choose how many of the 10 paylines to bet on, although we usually always play them all to be safe. It’s also great that you can bet anywhere between 0.01 and 50. Notice, though, that the max bet for 1 payline is 5.

Lord of the Ocean is a video slot in classic style where the Greek god Poseidon helps you look for underwater treasures.
