Play Mermaid for Free

Mermaids are always a popular theme and this slot by Spadegaming capitalizes on this by bringing game play into a fantasy world.

The overall appearance is cartoonish yet appealing with plenty of marine life given an anthropomorphic lease of life.

The background setting is the open ocean, colored a deep and attractive blue with bubbles floating up to the surface in the distance. The water is multi toned with silhouettes and shadows hinting at more sea life beyond the immediate scene. At the bottom there’s a pile of rocks covered with bright aquatic plants and coral. But wait…..! What’s that? If you peer more closely you’ll also spy a trail of golden coins too…

The reels feature the same blue bubbly background, the perfect foil for the colorful creatures which appear. From the sultry, flame-haired mermaid to the coquettish sea horse and smirking shark, you’ll find plenty of individuals to meet.

In the pay table the frame to the reels changes to a stream of bubbles which is a cute surprise.

There’s no musical score but the game features a background noise of bubbling water interspersed by short bursts of music when the reels spin.

No-one would think to look at the bottom of the ocean but in this mermaid’s kingdom there’s plenty of treasure waiting to be won. Swim over to the pay table and take a look at the prizes you could float away with before you start to play.

To win you’ll need to match symbols on the reels moving from left to right in adjacent reels along an active pay line. Some symbols pay out for a match of two while others won’t award you with a prize until you match three.

The emerald-tailed mermaid is the top prize giving a win of 10,000 for matching five. She also doubles up as the wild symbol helping to make it easier to match a line. If you use the mermaid to create a win, your prize will automatically be doubled.

The Free Spins symbol can be read in any direction on the reels and hands out not just extra turns, but also multipliers too.

When you’ve finished checking out what’s on offer in this watery game return to the main screen to start play.

But just before you get going, don’t forget to set your betting preferences.

Mermaid is played on 5 reels with up to 15 pay lines which are flexible, and can be adjusted on the main control panel.

You can also adjust the value of the coin from the minimum of 0.02 up to the maximum of 2.00. You can influence the level of betting further by deciding how many coins to play with per active line up to a maximum of five.

This provides a minimum bet of 0.02 and a maximum bet of 150.00.

If you are willing to accept an element of risk, you can choose to play with the Gamble feature. This appears every time you win on the reels and you can either ignore it, or accept the challenge.

With Gamble you could win up to four times your prize in a simple game of chance. To win, all you have to do is correctly forecast either the right suit or the right color of the card that’s about to be turned over. If you’re successful you can either decide to play again or collect your winnings. Guessing the correct color will double your prize but predicting the correct suit will win you quadruple the amount.

If you guess the wrong way on Gamble, you’ll return back to the main game completely empty handed.

Mermaid by Spadegaming is an online video slot which is beautifully designed in a popular theme. However, despite the fun graphics there’s very little extra features or bonuses and the play is relatively simple. For this reason, beginners or intermediate players might find this game more appealing than those who are more advanced.
