Johnny the Octopus Introduction
Let's dive into the underwater world of free pokies. Johnny the Octopus takes us deep into the ocean, where Johnny the purple octopus enjoys adventures getting his tentacles into sunken treasure and adventures with pirates. Come and meet Johnny’s friends in the ocean, including an orange fish, green starfish, jellyfish, bright red lobster with dancing claws, a dolphin and a seahorse.
Watch them swim into view on your screen and hope they land on a winning payline so that you can get your hands on some shiny gold coins. The graphics are amazing, with the pastel colours making you feel as though you are looking at this watery world from behind your goggles or the window of a submarine. There is an old wooden boat lying on the sea bed along with exotic plants.
A really neat touch is the bubbles coming out of the two pipes, which gives the impression that there are creatures lurking within them. You can also choose to have the sound effects or music turned off. The music adds to the occasion, however, as it is very bubbly. The spin button is very well designed, as looks like a ship's wheel and you can turn the outer wheel to decide how many autospins to fire up.
Amazing sea creatures swim into view
Visually Johnny the Octopus is a work of art; however, this is not its best feature. The most amazing thing about this pokie is the way in which the reels are set out. This is a far cry from the traditional reels, which roll from top to bottom, and it is worth playing the game just to see the symbols move. Hit the ‘play’ button and the little creatures swim out of the shipwreck to land on their allotted space on the sea bed.
If you don't have a winning combination, the symbols swim upwards out of sight; if you do have a winning combo, these symbols stay on the sea bed and appear to be treading water. Your winnings will show as coins being strewn from the ship with the sound of chinking.
Will Johnny’s tentacles ensnare you?
Johnny the Octopus has amazing 3D graphics to reel you in, along with engaging animation. Apparently Johnny was once a fierce and fearless pirate who created havoc all over the Atlantic Ocean. Since his retirement a couple of centuries ago, he has become a much milder character and wants to share his amazing treasures. A smiling orange fish is the wild symbol, with five netting 8,888 pieces of eight in keeping with the pirate theme.
A gold and purple treasure chest is the bonus symbol, which triggers 10 free spins if you find two chests on reels one and five. An oyster shell revealing a beautiful pearl is the scatter symbol, which can appear in any position. Five of these will net 777 coins. Game designer SoftSwiss has also produced a mobile version so that you can dip into this incredible game on your phone or tablet.
