Wonders of the Deep Introduction
When choosing which of the many free pokies out there to play, you will notice that a common theme is sea life. With all the incredible creatures to be found in the depths, this is not surprising; however, it can get a bit predictable! Thankfully, Wonders of the Deep by the developers at Gamesys breaks the mould and breathes new life into this popular theme.
Dive to the depths of the ocean to encounter dolphin wilds, clamshell bonuses, and perhaps even some sunken treasure!
Look and feel
The reel-spinning action takes place deep under the sea. True to the game’s name, there are lots of stunning wonders, from vibrant coral to open clamshells revealing their precious pearls. Wonders of the Deep is also packed with beautiful thematic symbols, which are almost photorealistic in appearance and give the game a dimension of immersion that is lacking from many other undersea-themed games.
Even the soothing music inspires a sense of reverence, making the game experience truly mesmerising!
How to set up and play
Wonders of the Deep features 15 fixed paylines across five reels and three rows. The betting options are nicely simplified. Rather than fiddling with multiple different settings, here you simply choose a bet per line and the game works out your total bet per spin, multiplying your choice by the 15 lines. There are eight bet amounts to choose from: $0.01, $0.02, $0.05, $0.10, $0.20, $0.50, $1 and $2.
You are bound to find something that suits you and playing with the maximum bet gives you a sizeable total bet per spin of $30.
Deep sea symbols
First up are the playing card symbols from 10 to Ace. Five 10s, the lowest valued symbol, are worth 100 x your bet per line, which is unusually high! A line of five Aces pays out 200 x your bet per line. The picture symbols are illustrated with beautiful images of deep sea creatures. Line up five red starfish or pink jellyfish to win 400 x your stake, while five orange seahorses will earn you a tidy 500 x your bet per line.
The majestic sea turtle pays out a whopping 1,000 x your stake if you catch all five, making it the most sought-after regular symbol. Just make sure you put them back in the sea when you have finished!
Special features
The dolphin is the wild and substitutes for all other regular symbols to help you land more winning combinations. It is also valuable on its own, paying out an unbelievable 10,000 x your line bet if you manage to land five on an active line! The yellow blowfish is the scatter, paying out for a combination of just two scattered anywhere on the reels.
Keep an eye on it - it will inflate when you win! The clamshell is your ticket to the bonus round. Land three or more on a line, then pick a shell to reveal an instant win multiplier and the number of free spins you have won. Even better, you can retrigger this feature if you catch more clamshells while enjoying your free spins.
