There's plenty on offer on the features front in Wacky Waters, starting with the Puffin' Up feature which is triggered when the wild Puffer fish symbol lands on the middle row of reel 3. After he pops, he'll deflate and in the process add between 1 and 6 extra wilds on the reels. A new payout reckoning will be made with the extra wilds in situ.
Next comes the Cash Crab feature which is triggered when you land 3 or more of the hermit crab scatter symbol anywhere on the reels. It's a variation on the pick me round - pick from the crabs to reveal a cash prize that can top 100 times your stake. You'll receive 1, 2 or 3 picks depending on how many scatters triggered the feature.
Land the Bonus anchor symbol on the odd numbered reels and you'll trigger Albert's Underwater Bonus feature - poor Albert has got himself caught up on an anchor and has to wriggle his way out. Choose arrows to point him in the right direction. As he escapes he'll win you multipliers, 5 extra free spins, extra wilds or more air (which allows him to keep on picking).
The assorted goodies will then be applied to the Wacky Waters Free Games features which follows. The symbols are slightly different in the free spins - keep a special eye out for the pink puffer fish wild which replaces the normal beige one. When this lands in the middle of reel 3, you'll be awarded 3 extra spins rather than the Puffin' Up wilds. 8 more free spins are on offer if the anchor bonus symbol lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 during the feature round.
As you'd expect from a Playtech powered slot, the sound and visuals on show in Wacky Waters are top notch - set against an underwater backdrop, the reels include an assortment of cartoon fish alongside bubble style playing card values. It all looks very high end, even for a slot with such a light-hearted theme.
The features match the good looks too, offering a little something for everyone. There are decent rewards on offer too, especially via the free spins feature where you can really get the cashier bobbing along if you pick up some valuables extras during Albert's Underwater Bonus feature.
There are plenty of nautical themed slots doing the rounds in the online casino world. With its combination of quality sound and visuals and nice range of features, it's well worth dipping your toes into these Wacky Waters. If you like the underwater theme, there’s no better Playtech game than the highly volatile Great Blue – a true classic.
