Enchanted Waters

Yggdrasil’s latest release the Enchanted Waters slot will definitely cool you down during summer. The game is all about the magical and mystical world of mermaids. There are 4 unique mermaid characters each with their special ability to affect the reels in some way. Some grant multipliers, some wild reels and others even introduce cascading wins into the mix. There are even respins thrown into the mix.

This is shaping up to be an exciting game when you think about all the extra features possible. The game is played on a 5×4 reel board with winning ways in play. You can win up to 25000x the bet with 96.00% RTP and high volatility. Let us dive into the many special bonuses and features covered in this Enchanted Waters slot review.

First off, we have to mention that Yggdrasil has done an amazing job with the visuals in the Enchanted Waters slot. The mystical sea and cliff background is so calming and each symbol and mermaid also have their own custom designs.

As for the gameplay, you will spin the 5 reels with 4 rows in an attempt to score on one of the 1024 winning ways. To achieve a win, you need to arrange at least 3 identical symbols from left to right. The symbols must be on consecutive reels and the combination must start from the leftmost reel.

There are 9 regular symbols in total to score with. The 4 low-wins appear as card symbols and the 5 high-wins appear as various ocean critters. There are also other special symbols which we will cover later. Lastly, players can also enable quickspins or autospins to the left of the spin button.

Before playing the Enchanted Waters slot you can first place a bet anywhere between $0.10 and $40. The betting range is slightly lower than usual for Yggdrasil slots. From here, you can spin the reels for a chance to win the maximum payout of 25000x the bet. The volatility is quite high in this game and the RTP value is an average 96.00%. Nothing to write home about.

Furthermore, paying symbols are not that strong. The most you can win is when arranging 5 of them in a winning way. This will get you up to 1x the bet for low-wins and 3x the bet for high-wins. As you can see these values are abysmal and are only compensated by landing multiple winning ways. Alternatively, if you are lucky you can also score multipliers from the mermaid extra features to increase your winning further.

Lastly, you unfortunately are not able to purchase free spins in this game as of now.

To cover the extra features of the Enchanted Waters slot we have to dive into the different mermaid characters and their abilities. Each one affects the board in some way and they are triggered by landing their appropriate symbol on reel 5. Once this happens a respin is triggered with their ability. Here are all their abilities and also the other extra mechanics of this game:

• Multiplier Mermaid – The blue mermaid multiplies all winnings with random values from x2 to x25.
• Avalanche Mermaid – The green mermaid introduces cascading wins in which winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in their place for more potential wins.
• No Lows Mermaid – The red mermaid removes all low symbols from the reels.
• Expanding Wild Mermaid – The orange mermaid causes all wilds to expand onto the whole reel upon landing.
• Wilds – Can only appear on the second, third and fourth reel.
• Free Spins – Land 3 or more free spins symbols to activate 10 free spins. Mermaids can substitute the 3^rd free spin symbol on reel 5. Entering free spins with a mermaid symbol activates their feature for the entire spins session. Land more mermaid symbols during free spins to get +1 spin and their feature.
• +1 Symbol – Appears on the 5^th reel to grant +1 free spin or an additional respin in the base game.
• Buy Bonus and Golden Bet – You can buy free spins or the boosted version for 200x or 1000x the bet respectively. Additionally, You can also activate the golden bet for 15x the bet to be awarded a random mermaid feature.

Lastly, if you land more mermaids during a respin you will get another respin with all collected features.
