Under the Sea Slot Machine Review

The Under the Sea slot machine game has been well-produced to make it a lot of fun to play. A lot of attention to detail has really paid off and it's good to see it has symbols that can be easily separated from each other. So, when the reels start to fall into place you can tell if you are in for a big win or not.

Under the Sea is a 3D slot with 5 reels and 30 lines released by Betsoft and featuring the developer's version of the popular Disney (and Hans Christian Andersen's ) characters – Triton's young and rebellious mermaid daughter and some of her best friends: different types of fish and a shark, which is the only species yours truly recognised.

Unfortunately for most of the girls out there (and some of the guys), the prince who stole Ariel's heart is not included, nor will you get to see Ariel's silver fox father. Instead, Little Mermaid is the main and the highest value symbol, with a few marine life representatives. Thank you Betsoft!

Under the Sea bonus rounds and special features

The Sea Shell with the Pearl inside is the slot's Wild and the icon can replace other game symbols (except for the Scatter Ship) and complete a combination that can generate a payout. The same symbol acts as a multiplier and increases the payout by x2, x4 or x8 depending on the number of Wilds found on a payline.

The Ship Scatter will unlock the Free Spins – two of the Scatters will generate a payment, while three or more Ships anywhere on the reels will add Free Spins to the payout amount. All the winning amounts will be doubled during the bonus spins.

Chest icon is another Scatter and three of these will unlock a new bonus game, where the players need to find the hidden treasure that will be converted into payments.

All of the pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly to form a visually attractive and, above all, (moderately) profitable slot. An average session will unlock a fair share of Free Spins and Bonus games, which pretty much means that you will not spin in vain and that the gameplay is likely to end with an increased balance.

On the other hand, one should not expect overly generous payouts and if you are a more demanding player, make sure to stake higher or find an alternative.

The visuals of Under the Sea are a double-edged sword, raising expectations which cannot be entirely met. In other words, the game is far from being bad in any way, but it does look much better than it actually is.

The payouts will not stun you and the bonus features seem a bit basic, especially in the context of 3D visuals. While the hit frequency of bonuses will not disappoint and one can expect Free Spins or Treasure hunt to be unlocked in decent intervals, it cannot really be said that the slot has the power of engaging players for a very long time – especially the picky ones.
