7 Oceans Slot Review

Deep down under the ocean there are some fantastic sights to be seen.  If the big wins come along in ‘7 Oceans’ from Microgaming then you’ll really be delighted.

Microgaming are becoming real masters at producing these games that bring back so many pleasant memories of the three-reel games that were so commonplace in the past. Where they excel is by taking the retro slots and adding in a few little modern-day touches that make the game so appealing to the modern-day audience but they seem to have opted not to do that with this game.

Underwater Adventure

‘7 Oceans’ has just the three-reels and only one pay-line. As you can imagine considering the title of this slot, all the action takes place under the sea. With there being an aquatic theme that means the almost compulsory treasure chest has to make an appearance and hopefully it will contain some big wins for you.

The game has a good look to it and the soundtrack didn’t drive me round the bend (or perhaps for a game like this, give me the bends). With there being just the three reels and one pay-line, that means there is plenty of space to play with. The all-important reels are shown in the top left-hand corner.

7 Is the Lucky Number

The symbols in this game are basic. We get the single Bar, double Bar and triple Bar, a Blue 7 and a ‘7 Oceans’ logo. In the bottom, left-hand corner, we see the game logo with an underwater scene involving some fish and that treasure chest. All the details of how much you can win in this game are shown on the right-hand side of the screen, so no need for a second screen paytable as in most modern games.

The paytable is split into three sections and how much you win will depend on how many coins you play on each spin of the reels; this is between one and three. If you decide to play just one coin, then three triple bars will win you 45x your coin stake. Decide to play two coins and that win is doubled to 90x. The big wins available by getting some 7’s are only available if playing three coins on a spin of the reels. Three blue 7’s win you 1000x your coin level and the top prize available is 4000x for three red 7’s.

Playing the game can cost you between €0.75 if playing three coins and the maximum bet is €15. Simply work out how much you want to spend on each spin of the reels.

Simple but Fun

There’s no wild symbol in this game, no scatter either for that matter which is a bit of a shame but makes this a real homage to the games of the past. If you are looking for a bonus game, then you’ve come to the wrong place. This is one of the simpler Microgaming releases and ideal if you’re new to slot games. It’ll be a rather gentle introduction before trying your luck on the more complex games that Microgaming produce.

Conclusion

A good-looking slot from Microgaming that will delight those who used to play these kinds of games in the past the lack of any bonus game or modern feature is bound to disappoint some but this is just a different kind of game. It’s back to funding and then spinning the reels and hoping lady luck has some underwater breathing apparatus and can bring you some good wins.
