Review
Descend into deep waters for an encounter with Poseidon on the slot from Novomatic (Greentube). Lord of the Ocean Magic marks the return of the mighty Greek god, keeping most of the original and adding a new twist to the well-known free spins round with special expanding symbols. Get a full screen of Poseidon symbols for a glorious return from your highly volatile reel journey worth 5,000 times your bet.
Slot Details
Lord of the Ocean Magic is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 10 variable pay lines. Wins are awarded for two to five matching symbols landing on a line from left to right only. Your encounter with the mighty Poseidon on desktop, mobile or tablet starts at 0.10 credits and goes up to 50 credits per spin. The RTP of this highly volatile game is set at 95.01%, which is a very typical value for Novomatic slots.
Novomatic has literally kept all of the graphics and animations from the original Lord of the Ocean slot. Poseidon with his powerful trident is making a return, standing on the side of the game window that is submersed in crystal clear waters. The audio is unchanged too, consisting mainly of the well-known Novomatic reel noises as well as a basic soundtrack.
The pay symbols start at the low end with the usual card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 10x to 15x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are followed by treasure chests, ancient statues, mermaids and Poseidon himself. Pays for five of a kind are vastly increased and range from 75x to 500x your stake. A mystical gate serves in a dual function as the wild and scatter symbol. It substitutes for all pay symbols and will award 2x, 20x and 200x your bet when you land three, four or five anyhwere on the reels respectively.
Lord of the Ocean Magic Slot Features
Novomatic fans will know very well what to expect from this sequel to the original Lord of the Ocean slot which was released as far back as 2008. This new creation is keeping most of the DNA of its sibling including payouts, symbols and feature triggers but adds one new twist in the bonus round.
Hitting three to five book scatters anywhere on the reels in one spin will trigger 10 Free Spins, which can be indefinitely re-triggered. Before the bonus round starts, one of the nine regular pay symbols is selected as the special expanding symbol. When sufficient land on a free spin, they will expand vertically to cover the entire reel and award wins for all pay lines, even when they are not adjacent. It will need minimum three low-paying symbols or minimum two premium symbols anywhere on the screen to see them expand and award a win. The wins from the expanding symbol are paid on top of any potential line wins.
And here comes the added twist. Retriggering the feature will not simply get you another 10 free spins but also an additional expanding symbol. Keep an eye on the top bar to see which of the pay symbols have been selected. Once all nine are activated, any further retriggers will award only the extra free spins.
Final Verdict
Well, here it is. Basically, Lord of the Ocean on steroids once it fires up in the bonus feature. With the chance of having multiple expanding symbols, Novomatic keeps riding the wave of success that this slot niche has shown in over a decade. Countless “Book of …” slots and now Lord of the Ocean Magic are all part of this highly volatile game niche with a rather timid base game but utterly suspenseful in the free spins.
