About Shifting Seas
Played across 6 reels with up to 117,649 ways to win, it’s available on desktop and mobile devices from 10p up to £100 per spin. Shifting Seas RTP is 96.15%, however, volatility is high so the bigger wins can be found in the bonus features.
Like many slots featuring pirate adventures the overall background is a beach or the high seas, Shifting Seas is a beautifully designed slot with an Island bathed in soft sunlight. The overall look is fun and vibrant with quirky characters adorning the reels.
The reels are encased in gold and symbols include low-value royal card suits, a parrot, purple, pink, and green pirate characters, and a treasure chest awarding 5x for a full payline.
The pirate ship is the scatter, and this symbol activates the free spins feature, and there are four different wilds (I’ll explain later).
Gameplay
The bonus features play a huge part in the gameplay providing an immersive, and entertaining experience.
First up is the Avalanche Feature. After a winning combination, the symbols involved fall away and are replaced by new symbols, potentially leading to more winning combinations. This continues until no more wins occur.
During the Avalanche Feature, the Shift Win Feature is also in play. After each successful win and subsequent avalanche, the far-right reel is removed, and a taller reel is added to the left. If you are lucky enough to keep winning avalanches all the reels will reach the max of 7 rows high and 117,649 winning ways.
If a wild is included in a winning combination it triggers various roles, these are:
Boost Shift – An extra reel is added to the left of the reel set, and the symbols which occupied the previous reel are transferred onto the new reel
Symbol Rush – Between 4 and 8 symbols on a random reel transform into the same symbol
Wild Surge – Up to 3 symbols on any reel are transformed into wilds
During the Shift Win Feature, if a scatter is removed from the grid, you’ll receive 8 free spins. If you repeat this again another 4 free spins are awarded. During the feature a wild reel with a 1x multiplier can appear on reel 1, it shifts one reel to the right after each Shift Win. Once it’s removed it reappears on the left side with an increased multiplier and you’ll get an extra free spin.
Verdict
Thunderkick has done an amazing job with Shifting Seas, not only is it visually appealing the immersive gameplay and features keep you entertained throughout. The expanding reels are a bonus plus the various wilds, avalanches and free spins add another layer to this exciting slot game.
