Sea Hunter Slots
Slip into an atmospheric diving suit and get ready to have a blast in the depths of the ocean as Sea Hunter by Play’n Go takes you on a deep diving adventure that sees you swim alongside an abundance of slippery creatures like clownfish, stingrays, octopus and whales.
This isn’t your typical online slot with an underwater theme that oozes tranquillity, though. While the various forms of sea life swim around in the dynamic background, navigating their way past a mountain of treasure chests that have amassed from shipwrecks over the years, a very funky soundtrack echoes out and the reels have been anchored between a pair of cannons, which are housed on a mechanical pulley to enable them to move up and down, with flashing lights and sirens ringing out signalling that you’ve landed consecutive wins to increase the power-up meters before four cannons erupt to deliver dramatic wins.
Dive in and Have a Blast
Developed using HTML5, like all latest releases from Play’n Go, to ensure that you can dive in and hunt for treasure in the depths of the ocean using your desktop, smartphone or tablet without any compatibility issues, Sea Hunter is a 3-reeled video slot that offers plenty of fast-paced action and it contains just 5 fixed paylines.
Such a structure means that the minimum stake will appeal to low limit gamblers with smaller bankrolls as you can dip your toe into these waters and play for real money from as little as 0.05 credits, while those of you who are confident in resurfacing with a new-found fortune can take advantage of the 100.00 credit max bet.
The sea creatures you encounter might look nice and friendly, but make no mistake about it, the Sea Hunter video slot is extremely volatile despite the advertised return-to-player percentage of 96.63%, so cross your fingers for plenty of consecutive wins to keep those cannons blasting!
An Ocean Full of Prizes
Masses of treasure chests that have been filled to the brim with jewels and gold coins can be seen in the background of Sea Hunter and a quick review of the pay table showcases that there are nine different symbols that lurk in these waters – and none of them are those pesky playing cards!
The slippery creatures that you’ll be hoping swim onto the reels in groups of three include clownfish, angelfish and puffer fish which are worth the least amount of all.
Jellyfish swimming into view sees you secure 2x your stake, sea turtles gliding through the water is a sight worth 4x your stake, a stingray might have killed ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Steve Irwin, but they won’t pose any danger to you in this ocean as they deliver 6x your stake, octopuses spreading their tentacles earns you 10x your stake and the sight of large whales adds 15x to your balance.
While most casino slot machines have at least two special symbols, Sea Hunter bucks the trend by including a solitary one. This Wild symbol is represented by an underwater mine, which delivers explosive wins worth 25x your stake, and they substitute for all other symbols to help you scoop even more prizes.
Activate the Cannon Power-Ups
Discharging explosive features will be your main aim while spinning the reels of this free Sea Hunter slot machine and it’s refreshing to see that you simply need to land consecutive winning combinations to activate these cannon power-ups rather than requiring a tricky combination of special symbols. Each of the cannons have meters attached to them that increase by one on every winning spin before resetting to zero on the next losing spin, with your goal being to land six consecutive wins so that you get to experience the Multiply Mortars on the fourth power-up.
The very first power-up you receive is known as a Growth Gun and it comes into effect after two back-to-back wins to select a symbol at random and upgrade the rest that match to the next highest valued symbol on the pay table.
Sticky Shots come into play on the second power-up. This occurs after four consecutive wins and sees the cannons fire at one randomly selected symbol before all instances of the symbol transform into a Sticky Wild that remains in place for a respin that could see you increase the meter further.
After five consecutive wins, Wild Warheads make an impact on the reels with between one and three Wild symbols added to random positions, while six consecutive wins result in Multiply Mortars that guarantee you a free winning spin that is multiplied by up to 15x!
Plenty of Depth
I’m going to hold my hands up and admit that I, like so many fellow players, automatically assumed that Sea Hunter would be rather basic upon hearing that it would be a 3-reeled slot with just 5 paylines, however, I’m happy to admit that I couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Once you dive beneath the surface and start exploring the ocean, it quickly becomes apparent that Play’n Go have delivered an exceptional underwater-themed slot that offers plenty of depth.
It’s clear to see that their creative team have spent countless hours developing this underwater world as the graphics are sublime and the dynamic background brings the sea creatures to life, the soundtrack creates great intensity as you pray for the sirens to ring out and those cannon power-ups are simply incredible – especially the Multiply Mortars which guarantee that you resurface with a fabulous multiplied win!
