Dive the Depths for a Sea of Rewards with the Stacks of Pearls Slot

Taking a risk and entering the unknown may pay off for you if the favour of the ocean is on your side. Aside from the exhilarating experience of meeting new creatures who guard the riches of the deep, you could rack up some decent wins, especially when Wilds line up to activate re-spins and multiply the winnings as a result.

The co-founder and CEO of Lightning Box Studios, Peter Causley, had this to say of the company’s new release:

“It looks like there’ll be a bit of a motion in the ocean with our newest game Stacks of Pearls – a journey to see what lies beneath the waves. There are some really big wins on offer with our Re-spin Bonus feature meaning players could be in for bumper payouts.”

 Scenes Beneath the Sea

The reels are dark in this game, but what would you expect, when you are miles beneath the ocean’s surface in search of riches? You have now entered the domain of the Queen of Atlantis, a league where strange and dangerous monsters lurk. But it will all be worthwhile when finding pricey pearls on your explorations.

The background is made up of kelp and coral, your field of exploration that hides the pearly rewards. An eerie, yet ambient tune fills your ears as you dive deeper and deeper, while bubbles blow and the waves lap at the surface.

The game symbols are all thematic, aside from the low-paying card deck symbols. Other icons include the Queen of Atlantis, a Merman, the Kraken devouring a ship, a Sea Dragon, Puffer Fish, and a High-pressure diving helmet abandoned on the floor.

There is no game scatter, but the game Wild is a pearl in a clam. This icon substitutes for all other symbols to complete wins, stacks on the reels to trigger re-spins, and multiplies wins in the bonus round.

 Maritime Mechanics and Fishy Features

This underwater adventure takes place on a 5x3 reel set that offers 30 paylines to win rewards over. Winning combinations are registered when you manage to land 3 or more matching symbols over a single payline, starting from the left-most payline and onto adjacent reels towards the right. All win values are determined by the value of the combo multiplied by your stake. Total wagers of between €0.40 and €120 are possible per spin.

The game interface is quite easy to use and offers you everything you would expect from a modern video slot, including the ability to Auto Spin. Set the machine to take charge of the rollers to spin between 10 and 100 spins consecutively for you. This is a great feature for those of you looking to play while you attend to other business at the same time.

✓ Wild Ways

The Pearl Wilds are both substitutes for symbols and triggers for the main re-spin feature. When they stack 2 or 3 full reels it will activate 5 or 7 re-spins respectively.

✓ Pearl Bonus

During the Re-spin rolls, the Stacked Wild Reels will lock in place and turn to multiplier symbols, offering either 2x or 3x your win per payline, up to a maximum multiplier of 27x over all the lines together. This is where the 2,000x and over jackpot is formed per payline.

 Verdict

The game offers an air of mystery to it and may pander to players who like mythological tales undertaken many leagues beneath the sea’s surface. The re-spin action is the most exciting and lucrative part of the entire game, where Multipliers help load up the bankroll nicely.

The medium game variance helps steady the volatility of the gameplay to offer a fine mix of rewards, ranging from very small, to fairly decent.
