The game engine in Jewels of the Sea is a little unusual for a Novomatic powered game - instead of standard paylines, the game offers 720 ways to win with successful combinations formed when the same symbol lands on adjacent reels. Visually, it's pretty standard fare. Joining the lower value playing cards from A to 10 are a dolphin and 2 mermaids, 1 brunette and 1 blonde - 5 of the latter in combination will get you 10 times your total stake.
Joining the standard symbols is a wild which replaces everything bar the free spins scatter. If a wild forms part of a winning combination, it will count as 2 wilds, offering extra opportunities to create a winning combo.
5 free spin symbols landing on all reels on a single spin will trigger the Free Spins feature - you can look forward to at least 8 free spins here but given the way the 720 ways to win game engine is set up, you can hit a massive 96 free spins if the symbols fall in a nice combination. You'll also win a payout of between 1 and 12 times your total stake. You can aslo retrigger the feature giving you up to 192 free spins!
Visually, Jewels of the Sea is nothing to write home about - the images are simplistic and the bright colours a little overpowering. The soothing backing track, punctuated by dolphin sounds, is a nice addition though.
There isn't a huge amount on the features front but the twin wilds offer up some interesting possibilities. Like many volatile slots from Novomatic, the key to success in the bonus feature. Get a decent haul of free spins and it's possible to net a fine haul of treasure from this particular ocean. If you like the theme, Novomatic offers you the iconic Lord of the Ocean.
