Mermaid Pays Review

Atomic Slot Lab are by no means a slot gaming powerhouse, but they are keeping it ticking with some fancy new releases on a regular basis. With Mermaid Pays, they aim to bring us something interesting on the gameplay side of things. We’ll get to the details later on, but, for now, we’ll kick off by specifying that the action takes place across 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 winlines.

As its title suggests, Mermaid Pays is all about diving underwater and visiting some mermaids. Those enchanting creatures are always present on the screen, and we have to praise the designers for the attention they paid to the designs of the various symbols. The game’s user interface is a bit outdated with its huge letters and everything, but it’s nothing awful.

Mermaid Pays Slot – Reels Screen

The mathematical model of Mermaid Pays offers a medium volatility level, but we have no reliable info about the actual jackpot. We can tell you, however, that you always have to play for at least £0.25 per spin. The max bet, on the other hand, stands at £100.

That’s more than fair, as it means that both low rollers and high rollers can enjoy the game to the full. Unfortunately, the theoretical RTP of Mermaid Pays is somewhat below average at 95.50%.

Mermaid Pays Slot Features

The pay symbols of Mermaid Pays can be easily divided into low-paying ones and high-paying ones. The former show card ranks from Jacks to Aces and they all pay 2x your bet for a complete combination. It then gets better with fish, jellyfish, manta rays, and octopuses.

Aside from pay symbols, Mermaid Pays also offers two special symbols - Dolphin Wilds and Temple Scatters.

Dolphin Wilds substitute for other symbols in winning combinations, while Temple Scatters are there to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Land 3 Temple Scatters in a single spins to trigger the Free Spins feature with 10 free spins. During free spins, mermaid symbols work as Wilds, which means that they can substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations.

And, of course, you can also add extra free spins to your tally by finding extra Temple Scatters. For sets of 2 and 3 Temple Scatters, you’ll get 3 and 10 extra free spins, respectively.

Players that don’t want to wait for their Temple Scatters can also use the Buy a Bonus feature and just buy the Free Spins feature. Going for this option will set you back by 80x your bet.
