Lovely Mermaid Slot Review

Lovely Mermaid is a video slot machine featuring 5 reels and 40 paylines, from the creators Novomatic.

It was designed and established in the winter of 2015 and offers an aquatic theme with a progressive jackpot that will make your eyes water. By diving to the depths of the ocean, you will come across scatters, free spins, a bonus feature, a gamble feature, multipliers and an ever-growing jackpot.

Obvious Theme

The name of the slot machine is ab it of a giveaway, because the slot is designed to look as if you are playing the game from the ocean bed. Your reels are deep blue and the symbols have bubbles surrounding them.

Each reel is encased in gold and when you look beyond these, you will be able to see a tranquil and crystal clear ocean with big winning potential. Your paylines are highlighted either side of the reels in various colours, to help you see what payline you’ve won on.

All of the betting options are found beneath the reels, and to the top of reel 5 is where that progressive jackpot total sits.

Symbols on the reels are the red-headed mermaid, treasure chests, turtles, lobsters, puffer fish, sea horses, angel fish and the standard card values of 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.

Gameplay

Before you can play, you will need to decide on how much you want to bet with each spin. Use the buttons to increase or decrease your paylines and bets per line. The more you bet per line, the more it will cost you, so bear that in mind.

You have the ability to sit back and watch the reels spin on your behalf, just click the autospin button and the reels will start to play out at your already selected bet. Now, we found the autospin feature to eat credit quicker than playing manually, so if you want to make your cash last as long as possible, it may be worth playing the game yourself.

The paytable is where you will find information on the game, its features, how to win the jackpot and the various symbols on your reels.

Treasure Chests

Scatters are represented by the treasure chest bursting with gold, spin in at least three to be awarded a multiplier value plus 25 free spins. If you can spin in more scatter symbols during the free spins mode, you will be awarded with even more free spins.

The mermaid is the wild symbol and will substitute for all other symbols found on the reels except the scatter symbol.

When it comes to the gamble feature, you will be shown a new screen with what looks to be golden steps. Your current win will be on the steps and the lights will flash one up and one down from your current win. By choosing to gamble, you have the ability to climb those steps to win huge amounts of cash. All you need to do in this 50/50 gamble bonus, is to keep going until you either reach the top to win the maximum, reach the bottom where you win nothing or you press to collect your winnings.

Magical Mermaid

Novomatic have produced some thrilling online slot machine titles and Lovely Mermaid slot is a great addition to that list. There may not be many features with this slot machine, but what it does have is the potential to change your life – thanks to the eye-watering progressive jackpot total.

The slot machine is easy to play and understand, but there is a demo version available, should you wish to practice before staking your own cash. All players need to do is select their bets and spin the reels.

To get your hands on the mega progressive jackpot total, you have to bet maximum stakes and you will need to spin in 20x mermaid symbols – this means the mermaid will have to cover your entire reels. If you are playing minimum bets or lower stakes, the jackpot will be paid in shares based on your bet.

If you are looking for a simple slot machine that doesn’t require you to do anything other than spin the reels to win, we recommend Lovely Mermaid from Novomatic. We were lucky enough to trigger the free spins on numerous occasions and we even managed to re-trigger them. There’s plenty of ways to win, but be careful of that gamble feature, because it can either give you loads or take it all away.
