Play Empire of Seas for Free

With this video slot, you won’t be getting a healthy dose of reality but you won’t mind as you rub shoulders with a whole host of colourful creatures and even get to meet one or two mythical beings too!

Developer iSoftBet have managed to capture a fun and relaxed vibe with this game, and although the graphics are very cartoonlike, there’s a real vibrancy to each and every image.

You’ll be in no doubt that you’re lingering way below the surface with only a distant glow from the sun far ahead, and all kinds of saltwater plants growing around underfoot. The beautiful blue water bubbles and froths while on the reels, your new friends await!

You’ll be playing with ocean dwellers of all sorts from sea snails to fish, crabs and even an octopus! But if you think that’s unusual wait until you meet the real stars of the show: iSoftBet’s interpretation of Poseidon, the god of the sea and Ariel, the beautiful mermaid.

Before you dive right into the game, you’ll need to take some time to acclimatise to your watery surroundings and check out the paytable for any prizes waiting to be claimed.

To do this you’ll need to move to the paytable screen; this can be accessed via the button on the top left of the reels.

You’ll win prizes in Empire of Seas by matching symbols on the reels, and the more you match the greater your prize will be. The minimum you must match is three along an active payline which can be read in either direction.

The sea shell is the lowest prize offering a win of just 2 for matching three while in direct contrast, Poseidon takes the top slot with a payout of 5,000 for matching five.

There are also a number of special symbols which can help to bump up your winnings further. The wild can stand in for most of the other symbols on the board and helps to make up winning lines. The scatter pays out a multiplier of your win, depending on how many you land. Scatters pay out for even just one appearing on the board. The maximum multiplier available is x25 for landing all five.

Special x2 and x4 symbols also multiply the prize while three or more of the bonus symbols anywhere on the board unlocks the free bonus round.

Once you’ve finished swimming around the underwater kingdom, take your place in front of the reels and get ready to make a splash. But before you start play make sure you’ve checked the betting levels first.

You’ll be playing on five reels in a standard configuration and there’s a total of nine paylines. You can play with 1-3 coins per line starting at a minimum bet of 0.01. The maximum bet per line is 2.00, adding up to a total max bet of 18.00.

All of these factors can be altered so you can either bet high or low, depending on your budget. Betting with more paylines and a lower stake means you’ve got a greater chance of winning but the potential prize will be less while decreasing the paylines and upping the stake means the reverse: less chance of winning but the payout will be higher. What you choose to do is up to you - unless your bank balance can afford a max bet every time!

There’s also a handy Auto Play facility which allows you the chance to relax and take it easy while waiting for your cash to come rolling in. Use the buttons on the screen to decide how many turns you want the game to play for; you won’t have to lift a finger! And if you decide to switch it off early, it’s only a quick click to recommence manual play.

Empire of Seas by iSoftBet is an online video slot which has great graphics and lots of chances to win. The prizes aren’t huge but they’re decent and it’s a game which will attract lots of players of all levels of experience.
