Play Mermaid's Treasure for Free

Mermaid’s Treasure has a clear cartoonish style with 3D bubble effects and currents ruffling the seaweed in the background. Nucleus Gaming clearly knows how to make their games look unique and captivating, and Mermaid’s Treasure is yet another example of their know-how.

We loved the small details such as the seashells used as payline markers on the sides, which is important when you want you games to feel as realistic and coherent as possible.

In Mermaid’s Treasure, you have 5 reels and 30 paylines to deal with, leaving you with a betting range going from 30 to 150 credits per turn. The command bar contains all the buttons you need to pick your next wager, with a max bet shortcut and an autoplay option for the busy players, eager to get the game going.

Mermaid’s Treasure has an average volatility and a maximum prize of x400 on the paytable, which is decent but far from exceptional. The paytable is also relatively short, with a handful of exotic fish and a mermaid as the rarest symbol of the game. Fortunately, the bonus features of Mermaid’s Treasure do give it a little bit more depth.

The oyster symbol in Mermaid’s Treasure contains one big pearl and is able to replace the basic icons on the reels. As a wild, it adds multipliers (up to x8) to the mix, depending on how many oysters help you finish up a winning combination.

The shipwrecks are scatter symbols, able to award up to 15 free spins with doubled payouts to the lucky players. They are relatively easy to find in Mermaid’s Treasure, and incredibly rewarding in the long term. There is also a second scatter available, a treasure chest that triggers a mini game where you have to uncover treasures from the bottom of the ocean to score extra cash prizes.

This is not the first time that we are venturing under the surface, as several other slot games out there have been taking us deep underwater in the past. You may remember Jewels of the Sea from Novomatic with its high volatility, crazy layout and astonishing 720 ways to win at every spin.

If you would rather stay above the water but still close to the sea, check out Ocean Paradise by Agile Slots with 243 ways to win and a lot of free spins to win.

Mermaid’s Treasure was a fun game to test thanks to its adorable aquatic creatures and the beautiful background design. Technically speaking, the game is not as impressive as many other Nucleus Gaming slots, and the paytable is also a little less generous.

Overall, Mermaid’s Treasure is perhaps one of the least memorable slots from this particular developer. If you really enjoy diving and everything that has to do with the ocean, you might have a different opinion of the game, obviously.
