Play Lucky Mermaid for Free

As you prepare to dive into the depths, stop for a second and decide on your stake. There are 25 paylines here and you can play as many or as few as you like each spin. Click on the ‘bet one’ button shaped like a sea shell to select paylines. To alter your ‘coin value’, click the plus and minus signs on the starfish to choose a minimum coin of €0.05 and a maximum coin of €1.00.  This means your total bet per spin will cost from €1.25 up to a maximum of €25.00. This range should suit most players, from the lower to the higher rollers.

The theme is gentle and peaceful with the bubbling sound effects and cute sea creature. There is plenty of detail in the imagery and background scene with rich colours and many wonderful details all drawing players into the underwater atmosphere. The background features a treasure chest filled with gold coins and precious jewels, a large octopus, coloured sea shells, yellow and green fish, and the mermaid of the game title watching from the corner.

The payouts here are quite generous with the orange sea horse awarding the highest payout of 7,500x your bet for 5 symbols on the reels. This is also the wild symbol in the game, so it stands in for all the other symbols, except the bonus, to create more potential wins.

The mermaid is the second-best paying symbol, awarding 2,500x your bet for 5 symbols. The starfish pays 1,000x your bet for 5 symbols, the anchor pays 400x your bet for 5 symbols, and the treasure chest pays 250 coins for 5 symbols. The sandcastle pays up to 200x your bet for 5 symbols, the orange and pink shell pays 150x your bet and the dolphin pays 120x your bet for 5 symbols on the reels together.

The lowest paying symbols in the game are the crab, purple shell and orange octopus, which pay 90x your bet, 75x your bet and 60x your bet respectively for 5 symbols at once on the reels.

The Lucky Mermaid game logo is the scatter symbol. This symbol appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and if you spin at least 3 of these symbols you will trigger the bonus round. Players are transported to a new underwater screen. During this round you have to pick a lucky mermaid from the purple, green, orange, black or green mermaids to determine your multiplier. You then follow the mermaid as she swims through the sea flicking cash prize coins with her tail.

You receive all the bonus coins she finds multiplied by the amount decided at the start of the round.

Lucky Mermaid has a great atmosphere thanks to the attractive underwater theme, soft sound effects and cute symbols. Whenever you hit a winning spin there are some wonderful animations, such as the crab turning into a heart, the shell opening to reveal a pearl and the sandcastle flipping up to reveal a crab hiding underneath!

All the extra design details make this a joy to play, while the bonus game adds another level of entertainment. The only problem with the bonus game is that it does seem to go on a bit too long following the mermaid as she swims along, with no variation in the game.

However, if players are waiting on a potentially high-paying bonus from this round, the wait will simply prolong the excitement and anticipation.

This is a great choice for fans of underwater themes, colourful details and cute symbols, while the payout potential is surprisingly generous.
