INTRODUCTION

Rumour has it that the Mermaids are back and are looking to drag all sailors down to the bottom of the sea, not to drown them, but to reward them with hefty payouts. Microgaming and 2 By 2 Gaming joined forces and released Golden Tides, a five-reel, 40-payline video slot that offers several interesting and rewarding features, including Mystery feature, Golden Mermaid feature, Wild Mermaid feature, and two modes of the Free Spins feature.

Playable from $0.40 per spin, the 2019 release will give you more than enough reasons to go deep under water and explore the depths of a blue ocean.

HOW TO PLAY GOLDEN TIDES

The visuals are not as good as we have hoped. We will start from the Logo, which is the Wild that substitutes for all other symbols. The Treasure Chest is the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature. Apart from being extremely beautiful, the four beautiful Mermaids act as high-paying symbols.

The Pearl will also appear, as well as the Seashell. Four playing cards act as low-paying symbols. All four Mermaids have their Golden versions and in that case they all pay the same, but in the base game, the red-haired Mermaid pays the most.

The rules of the game are simple and you will find your way around in no time at all. The 2019 release features five reels, four rows and benefits from 40 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, with three of a kind being the minimum for landing payouts.

Betting starts at $0.40 and the biggest possible wager cannot go over $40 per single spin. The control panel is pretty standard and offers all the usual options, including bet per line, total bet, Autoplay, with up to 100 automatic spins, and, of course, the Spin button.

GOLDEN TIDES (2 BY 2 GAMING): CASINOBLOKE’S VERDICT

We feel that Microgaming and 2 by 2 Gaming did not spend much time thinking about the overall appearance of the 2019 release, because if they did, it would look much better than it really appears. Bad graphics aside, Golden Tides has plenty to offer when it comes to special features. Gamers will definitely love the Golden Mermaid feature, because all Mermaids turn to gold and all pay 30 times the bet for five of a kind.

Also, the Free Spins feature can be very rewarding, and we can say that punters can choose either of the Free Spins modes on the offer, both of them are very good. More than enough reasons for all of you to go to the bottom of the ocean and meet some lovely Mermaids.
