It is clear from the improvements in the Rainbow Riches series and other slots from the developer that Barcrest’s slot games have taken a step up since they were brought under the ever-growing Scientific Games banner.
However, that isn’t to say that Barcrest aren’t still capable of the occasional flop, and Mermaid Queen looks to have all the potential of being just that.
About the slot
With five reels and 10 paylines, Mermaid Queen is playable from 10p to £500 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.
This slot looks pretty much like you’d expect it to, with the sea providing the backdrop and mermaids appearing on the reels alongside dolphins, pirate ships, and more.
The 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A filler symbols play the lower values because apparently there are not enough sea related images to choose from, we can only assume.
The pirate plays the part of the wild and will substitute for all but the scatter, as well as paying out 500x your stake for five on a payline, and doubling any wins it is a part of.
Gameplay
The Mermaid Queen plays the scatter here, and as well as paying out 500x your bet for a full payline, three or more will trigger the Free Games Bonus feature.
15 spins are given out here with all wins being trebled, meaning a wild as a part of a winning combination will have a 6x multiplier.
With this feature able to be re-triggered multiple times, there’s a lot of free spins, and the chance of big wins available here.
The free spins feature certainly adds a degree of temptation to Mermaid Queen, but unfortunately, it’s about all that does, as this slot is derivative and disappointing in every other possible way.
