Slot Details
Sea Of Riches is a 6 x 6 cascading grid slot where wins are paid for clusters of five or more matching symbols. As each winning cluster explodes, more symbols fall into the vacant spaces, potentially repeating the reaction and adding to the win total until no more wins occur after a cascade. Each reaction charges the Captains Compass which will unleash reel modifiers at certain levels plus two full charges bring on the Storming Free Spins. Playable on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin, it comes with an RTP of 96% and a medium volatility rating.
A peg-legged pirate and his trusty parrot compliment the play area, entertainingly narrating the events of the game such as the introduction of features or brandishing you a ‘land-lover’ for a near miss on the reels. The background is a windswept island at sea with a ‘shark-faced’ rocky outcrop. Sea Of Riches looks great and the narrative is well employed alongside a jolly soundtrack.
Pays are based on clusters of pirate-themed coins or gems of five or more. At the low-end are a range of coins in different colours with carved markings – wooden anchor, green rum bottle, bronze hook, silver cannonball and golden skull – awarding 3.75x and 30x for a cluster of 15+ symbols. The premiums are differently coloured gems with 15+ clusters yielding 40x for blue sapphires, 50x for green emeralds, 100x for purple amethysts and 150x for red rubies.
Sea of Riches Slot Features
Avast ye landlubbers! At long last, iSoftBet is releasing their first-ever grid slot. While the studio has been developing games for well over a decade, they have yet to dive into the genre that is dominated by the likes of Play’n GO and Push Gaming. Well, the time has come for their debut and it is quite the handful with a plethora of features and modifiers that intermingle and connect throughout a spin sequence with multiple winning clusters.
The first point of attention will be the Treasure Map that starts to become visible on the wooden scoreboard in the bottom right corner by collecting bottle symbols, each containing a piece of the map. It will need 25 bottles to complete one map that will then move you to the next level or map if you like. There are a total of four to complete before returning to the start, creating an indefinite loop. Each level has a distinct Wild Seas Modifier that can trigger randomly at any time:
- Wild Kraken: A giant Kraken will rise from the sea and place 5 to 10 random wilds onto the grid.
- Wild Storm: A tornado is passing by leaving 3 to 9 random wilds in its wake.
- Wild Whale: A whale will surface and slap the grid with his tail, creating a random pattern of 5 wilds
- Wild Ghostship: Blast from the past. A ghostly galleon will appear and place 2 to 5 wilds on random grid positions, each marked with a multiplier of 2x to x5.
Next to keep an eye on or a wooden leg if you like is the Captain’s Compass in the top right corner (desktop). Each cluster win will charge the compass by adding the number of winning symbols. Reaching 24 or more out of 48 will activate one of four modifiers after no more wins occur. The count on the compass will reset to 24 only, making it easier to trigger another modifier. It will completely reset once no winning clusters occur after a modifier has been applied.
- Rolling Rum: Between one to three barrels of rum roll down the reels, turning 3 to 6 symbols into matching symbols on the respective reels they appear on.
- Musket Mayhem: Musket shots eliminate 5 to 12 symbols before new symbols drop into place.
- Cannon Blast: Shots from a cannon will take out 1, 2 or 3 entire rows of symbols.
- Swarm O’Parrots: Parrots fly across the screen and remove 10 to 15 random symbols
Continuous reactions adding 48 or more symbols to the Captain’s Compass within a single game round will trigger the Stormin’ Free Spins with lightning compass multipliers. Spin the ship’s wheel to randomly win 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 free spins. During the feature, the segments on the Captain’s Compass change to win multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x10. Any time a winning cluster appears on the initial symbol cascade, lightning may strike the compass up to three times. All multipliers from the compass are added and the total will then multiply the win from the current spin. It will reset to x1 between spins.
Final Verdict
Sea of Riches is a feature-rich and well-designed debut into grid slots from iSoftBet. The game is very detailed with each level having not only different modifiers but also a slight variation on background and sounds. The various random features will have you on the edge in the base game while the Captain’s Compass can lead to a chain of modifiers to continue the spin sequence.
There is plenty to keep you engaged on your swashbuckling sea voyage although the maximum treasures of just over 2,400 times your bet could be higher. Having said that, they are on par with other popular grid slots such as Reactoonz or Moon Princess.
