New video slot developed by Gold Coin Studios that is powered through Microgaming. This is a 5×3 title that pays across 20 pay lines and uses the Connectify Pays mechanic during the bonus feature for certain symbols. There is a standard game-theoretical RTP of 94.85%, and an RTP of 96.22% when using the Gold Coin Bet enhancer.
As you embark on your journey across the seas, you can expect to pick up many prizes along the way. There are plenty of sailing-themed symbols, which will all reward you handsomely. However, once the ships land, it’s time for free spins where the wins found are much greater.
Linking up wins across 20 pay lines during the base game will keep the bank balance ticking over, but you will have to trigger the Free Spins feature to benefit from enhanced symbols and bigger payout opportunities. Activating the Gold Coin Bet will put some wind in the sails, as it increases your chances of getting to Free Spins by adding extra symbols on the reels which can trigger additional Free Spins, and it also increases the RTP to 96.22%. A 5×3 reel set occupies 13 paying symbols within the base game which also includes Wild and Scatter symbols. During the base game, you have the option to switch on the Gold Coin Bet that will increase the RTP and add Ticket Scatter symbols to the reels. This presents you with an alternative method of triggering the lucrative Free Spins feature. During free spins, regular symbols, Wilds, and Ticket Scatters are removed and replaced. Enhanced Royal symbols, Ship symbols, and Empty Ship symbols will be added. Ship symbols will pay using the Connectify Pays mechanic. Connectify Pays pay from left to right and allow the symbols to land on any row to award a payout. Royal symbols pay on adjacent reels from leftmost to right.
