Underwater themed slots are ten a penny but first impressions from Pearl Lagoon are good - symbols on the reels include a selection of deep sea creatures including assorted fish, seahorses, crabs and turtles. The latter 2 will both get you 750 coins if you manage to find 5 of them on a payline. Joining them are the lower value playing card symbols from A to 10.
The dolphin is the game's wild. It substitutes for all other symbols apart from the scatter and can be a very impressive payer in its own right, offering a bumper jackpot of 5,000 coins if you manage to find a five symbol combination. Any winning paylines in which the wild appears will benefit from a 2x multiplier and will be doubled.
The oyster shell is the scatter. Two or more of them hitting anywhere on the reels will deliver you a cash prize ranging from two to 200 times your total stake. Find 3 or more oyster shells and you'll trigger the Free Spins feature.
Here you'll be awarded 15 free games - that's not all though as every winning spin during the feature will be boosted by a 3x multiplier and trebled. Find a win with a wild during the bonus and it will combine with the 3x multiplier to boost that winning payline by 6x.
Get on a roll here and the wins can soon mount up. Look out too for the oyster shells during the feature as it's possible to re-trigger the feature up to three more times, giving you a total of 60 free spins.
Play 'N Go have kept things pretty simple in Pearl Lagoon and by and large it all works nicely - there's nothing overly flashy on show in terms of sound and visuals. The imagery is perfectly solid though, nice and crisp against the oceanic backdrop.
Where Pearl Lagoon really impresses is in the free spins feature where the 3x multiplier and be very beneficial. The bonus round doesn't trigger too often but it can be worth the wait when it does eventually hit. The variance is on the high side of medium.
There are plenty of underwater based slots on offer such as the volatile Great Blue by Playtech or the fun Lucky Angler by Net Entertainment. Pearl Lagoon is one that's well worth getting your metaphorical flippers out and having a dip.
