Enchanted Waters Slot Features

Hovering above the surface, a 5x4 grid awards wins for matching at least 3 symbols. All qualifying combinations must begin from the left side of the board and continue along adjacent reels rightwards. All 1,024 ways are in play, so the symbol's vertical position on the reels is unimportant. Standard payouts range from 0.1 to 1 time the bet when scoring on card suit icons and from 0.2 to 2.5 times for sets containing premium symbols represented by a crab, a jellyfish, a blowfish, and an octopus. A traditional Wild appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 to help connect combinations by substituting for all regular symbols.

Respins

Landing at least one Mermaid on the 5th reel triggers a respin with their respective feature active:

• Multiplier Mermaid multiplies all wins by x2, x3, x5, x10, or x25.
• Avalanche Mermaid activates a cascading mode where winning symbols are removed for a chance to score more hits.
• No Lows Mermaid removes low-value symbols from the reels, leaving only the premium and special ones.
• Expanding Wild Mermaid causes all visible Wilds to expand onto the whole reel.

A special +1 Symbol may also land on the fifth reel, awarding an extra respin or an additional free spin during the bonus round.

Enchanted Waters Free Spins

Scoring at least 3 Free Spins symbols (or 2 Free Spins + 1 Mermaid) will activate the bonus with 10 free spins. Triggering the round with a Mermaid symbol guarantees her respective feature on every spin. Scoring more Mermaids during the bonus adds their respective features to each spin for the remainder of the game.

Bonus Buy & Golden Bet

Players can choose to activate the Golden Bet to trigger a spin with at least one guaranteed Mermaid symbol for 15 times the bet. There's also an option to access the bonus round instantly for a fixed buy-in of 200 x bet for 10 free spins with a random Mermaid or 1000 x bet for 10 free spins with all Mermaids active.

Final Thoughts

Enchanted Waters is a rather pretty production offering a vibrant, relaxing scene full of natural views, smooth animations, and engaging audiovisual effects. The overall artwork is nicely polished, there's a clear distinctive design between symbols, and the screen estate is thoughtfully organized. And even though the game doesn't explicitly stand out with any unique elements, the whole environment feels pleasant and easy on the eye.

The technical side comes across somewhat similarly. It's a fairly standard composition of tried and true features like expanding Wilds, multipliers, and elimination of low-value symbols. Combining them with respins definitely adds some excitement, but it's also nothing that we haven't seen numerous times in other releases. The bonus round can be extremely rewarding if most of the Mermaids hit relatively early, although even a single last spin with all four could prove massively lucrative. Perhaps even amassing to a maximum potential of 25,000x.
