Game Overview
There’s been a raft or even a shipload of Pirate slots hitting the lobbies of online casinos in recent months, but until now, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one developed in an anime style. Honestly, though, it works amazingly well. Eurasian Gaming’s Golden Sea features fantastic artwork, whether the crashing waves and the pirate ships in the background or those anime-inspired characters on the reels. However, visuals are one thing, and playability is another, so is this 6-reel slot with up to 86,436 ways to win, high variance, and 95% RTP as fun to play as it is to look at? Let’s find out.
Firstly, Golden Sea is one of the more ambitious slots I’ve seen from Golden Sea, as it has gone with a Megaways-like reel modifier mechanic alongside cascades. Winning symbols disappear, more fall in, and you can land more wins along the way. Furthermore, if you so wish, you can activate a gamble feature to give you a chance to double any wins that do come your way. As for the main bonus game, there are three different variations of a free spins bonus with a win multiplier increasing with every consecutive cascade.
Does this sound like your kind of adventure? If so, our free demo slot of Golden Sea Is available to play below.
Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
It seems pirate slots are starting to trend once again, considering how many slots with that theme have been released in recent months. Looking back through them, it’s quite clear that Golden Sea will have to do well to be able to compete, as many of those titles have earned some good scores here at Demoslot. Titles such as Thunderkick’s Bones & Bounty, Octoplay’s Davey Bones, and Hacksaw Gaming’s Cursed Seas have all received at least 8 out of 10.
You’ll have to wait and see whether Golden Sea does score quite as high as that, but first, lets see what the symbols are worth when they line up on the reels. The Pink Woman Pirate will return 50x the stake for a 6-symbol combination, while the Sword-Wielding Pirate is worth up to 5x. The Chubby Pirate is next up with a 2.5x top return, while the other Female Pirate will reward 2x for six in a row. Then we have the Fish, Chef, and Ship that all pay up to 1.5x, and the Flag, Skull and Crossed Bones, and Cannon all return up to 1x.
The betting range provides both free play demo and real-money players a good bet selection, which begins at €0.20 per spin and reaches up to a maximum of €40.00 per round.
Base Game & Modifiers
On Golden Sea, we have a 6-reel setup that also includes a 4-position horizontal reel above the main grid. Each reel can hold between 2 and 6 symbols on any spin, meaning up to 86,436 ways to win are possible.
Wins come your way when three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from reel one. Once wins are paid, all symbols involved are removed, and the tumble features allow more to fall in from above to give the potential for further winning combinations to form.
Gamble
If you want to risk any winnings you received from a spin, you can use the gamble feature. You have to first activate it via the settings, though, so keep that in mind. If you choose to gamble, you’ll win double your winnings if you correctly guess the colour of the next card drawn from a pack. Guess wrong, and you go home with nothing.
Golden Sea Slot Bonus Features
Landing four or more scatter symbols anywhere in view will trigger the free spins bonus, where you get to choose one of three variations.
The options available are:
- 15 free spins with a 1x starting win multiplier.
- 10 free spins with a 5x starting win multiplier.
- 5 free spins with a 10x starting win multiplier.
Free Spins Feature
On a free spin, the global win multiplier increases by 1x for every consecutive cascade. However, the multiplier returns to the default amount on every spin. You’ll also receive 5 additional spins every time three or more scatter symbols land on a spin.
Bonus Buy
You can jump straight into the free spins bonus at a cost. You will receive a choice of those free spins bonus game variations by using the buy bonus feature to purchase it for 82x the stake.
Pros
- A choice of free spins bonuses is always a nice touch as it allows players to mix up their strategies.
Cons
- The base game might feel lacking in excitement due to the absence of modifiers or additional multipliers outside of the bonus rounds.
Golden Sea Slot Review Final Thoughts
Golden Sea is certainly one of the more ambitious slots I’ve seen from Eurasian Games to date, and it's a reasonable effort, all things considered. The cascades combined with the reel modifier mechanic that can deliver up to 86,436 ways to win is something I hadn't seen from Eurasian Gaming at this point, so it's nice to see the developer produce something from outside of its comfort zone. It does feel a bit lacking though, especially in the base game. A few modifiers or multipliers here and there would have made a huge difference.
