Lucky Mermaid (Swintt) Review

The underwater-themed Lucky Mermaid slot from studio Swintt takes players on an exciting reel adventure to the universe of magical mermaids, who can bestow you enchanted treasures up to 750x your bet. The slot revolves around the Hold and Win bonus game, which is where most wins come from, as well as offers 6 different Wild symbols during the base game.

 Although the Lucky Mermaid slot was released in 2022, it feels more dated rather than modern or stylish. The graphics remind you of the classic slot machines, though, the symbols on the reels look fine. The static background image isn't that impressive, showcasing corals and vast blue waters. Anyway, the view is dominated by a semi-transparent 5x3 grid, and players have 10 ways to play on each spin.

Playable on any device, Lucky Mermaid comes with a betting range of €0.05 to €100 per spin, which should certainly appeal to all kinds of gamblers. The volatility is low, while the max win corresponds to the risk involved and is capped at 750x the stake. However, don't expect to get returns too often, as the hit frequency is rather low at 15.67%, meaning that only 1-2 spins out of 10 will be winning ones.

Keep in mind that the game has RTP ranges, meaning that the payback value can vary depending on where you play, so be sure to check the rules before depositing to find a better return rate.

You need to land at least 3 matching symbols adjacently starting from the leftmost reel to achieve a win, and five-of-a-kind symbol wins are worth from 10x to 1,000x the stake. There are 8 regular symbols, including classic A-J card royals that make up the lower pays, and turtles, blue fish, red fish, and mermaids on the higher side. The mermaid also acts as a Wild symbol, substituting for any other regular symbols in winning combinations.

Lucky Mermaid Slot Features

In addition to the regular mermaid Wild, there are 5 more Wild symbols. Those are Multi Wilds, which also play into the bonus game. M, U, L, T, and I symbols can appear on reels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively, and whenever one lands in view, it is collected to the meter above the reels.

Once you collect all 5 Multi Wilds, the Pearl Bonus feature will be triggered. The bonus is played on special reels where new Pearl symbols can appear, and players receive 3 respins to start with. Pearls land with a random cash value of either 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 75x, or 150x the bet, or with a random multiplier of 2x or 3x.

All bonus symbols are sticky, and whenever a new Pearl lands in view, the number of respins is reset back to 3. The feature continues until the entire grid is filled with Pearl symbols or the player runs out of respins. In the end, all cash values are added together and multiplied by the collected Pearl multipliers and are paid to the player.

Review Summary

Lucky Mermaid is surely not the best-looking slot out there, but the gameplay lurking beneath is fantastic. Once you get past the basic looks, the features laid down here will bring lots of fun as well as tasty cash prizes. You don't need to wait for a combination of bonus symbols to land to activate the bonus, and that really makes it easier to trigger the feature. Once the Pearl bonus is on, look out for massive cash wins and multipliers.
