Ocean Fantasy is indeed about the life that you find underneath the ocean’s surface, but I’m not sure what the fantasy part is about. The creatures are often humanized a bit, mostly by the way they are dressed and behave, than by the way they look. If there is one thing that I’ve come to expect from a marine themed slot machine is a great design, something that will make you want to go scuba diving and see it all for yourself. It’s not the case here though, as the game uses a caricature like drawing style for the symbols, not appealing enough to make the game playable because of the looks alone.
A 25 bet line game, Ocean Fantasy gets 5 reels and among its symbols there are bonus symbols, scatters and wilds, plus a batch of free spins that can get triggered as you play. A $17,500 top jackpot is the most you can take home.
Features of Ocean Fantasy
Every single feature you will discover in Ocean Fantasy is normal for a game from Top Game, starting with the wild and continuing with the bonus game, the scatter or their free spins.
The Tall Ship is one part of the game that I enjoyed seeing, the image being that of an old sail ship, a large vessel that could go over an ocean, though it was dangerous for it. As a wild, the Tall Ship appears wherever it wants, but it will do the most good on the first few reels, where the chance of it being part of a winning combo are bigger. It can substitute for regular symbols, the bonus and scatter symbols not being part of that category.
Free Games Feature
The Diver symbol is another important feature in this case, capable of appearing in scattered positions on the reels and giving away free spins as it does so. Three Divers trigger a small round of only 5 spins, but four will double that amount to 10 spins and five will triple it to 15 spins.
Bonus Game
A Treasure Chest symbol is the one that gets you the bonus game. Get a minimum of three Treasure Chests, on an active line, and your reward will be the bonus game, with prizes that depend on how many symbols triggered it.
In this game you are asked to pick three treasure chests, and you will be rewarded with prizes by each one. You can win up to 2,250 bonus points with five Treasure Chests triggering this feature, or up to 1,125 when there are four and 225 when there are only three.
Betting options and jackpots
Whatever number of lines you choose to activate for each round, you will have to bet just as many coins on them. The most coins you can use is 25, for 25 lines, and each one has a maximum denomination of $5, for a total of $125. Smaller denominations are possible, just like you can select only some of those lines.
The 3,500 coins that are promised by the game’s paytable translate into $17,500 cash, if the $5 coins were used.
Design and symbols
I’m not a huge fan of the caricature style of the drawings done in this game, the symbols mostly trying to pull smiles out of the players, looking funny or weird, including fish that are holding umbrellas, puffer fish dressed in Napoleon like outfits or Seahorses behind a ship’s steering wheel. The background image isn’t of much help either, a simple light blue picture with the outlines of a reef being part of it.
Symbols: Diver (scatter), Treasure Chest (bonus), Tall Ship (wild), Underwater Plants (3,500 coins), Coral (500 coins), Yellow Round Plant (400 coins), Shark (350 coins), Puffer Fish (250 coins), Octopus (200 coins), Fish with umbrella (150 coins) and Seahorse (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
I’ve tried the game, and I didn’t become a huge fan of anything it has to offer. The design seems a bit dated, the features are Ok but nothing out of the ordinary, and the top payout is average at best. Unless you have different tastes when it comes to the design, you will find better games out there.
This Ocean Fantasy slot is offered by all online casinos with Top Game software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
