Neptune’s Riches: Ocean of Wilds Review

Neptune’s Riches: Ocean of Wilds sounds like a series with more to come, but even if it’s a one-off slot, Microgaming and Just For The Win have created an enjoyable slot to play. Maybe not so much to look at – the theme of the mythological god of the sea, Neptune, is a nice idea, but the execution lacks craftsmanship. Anyhow, the gameplay itself is exciting, and that’s what we’ll be looking at first off in this 5×3 reel slot review.

Neptune’s Riches: Ocean of Wilds Bonus Features

It’s been a while since we’ve come across a slot with so many wilds, let alone walking stacks with independent increasing multipliers. Reviewing all the bonus features felt like breathing in a gulp of fresh air after being submerged in water for too long. The god of the sea surely knows how to entertain you, even if his waters look a little blurry in the background.

Wilds

From regular and multiplying to walking stacked, you won’t be short of wild symbols in Neptune’s Riches: Ocean of Wilds. While 1x-10x multiplier wilds don’t take any particular shape or form, regular wilds are dressed as golden keys and walking wilds with increasing multipliers wear a crown.

Scatters

The most prominent looking symbol on the Neptune’s grid is his mighty weapon, trident. Playing the part of a scatter, it only hits reels 1, 2 and 5 and activates free spins when no less than 3 of them land in view.

Rising Wilds Respin

First on the bonus features menu is the respin round that you can trigger with 3 or more regular key wilds. As the keys hit reels 2, 3 and 4, they’ll unfasten three locks positioned right above the reels unleashing the respin round.

Each of the highlighted middle reels will then have a 1x multiplier and move upwards rather than down on every spin, hence the ‘rising’ wilds in the title. Watch out for x multipliers filling the framed reels. When they fall beneath the current multiplier wild, they’ll absorb that multiplier value.

Finally, each time the multiplier wild nudges up and disappears from the view, it increases the below multiplier value 1x up to a maximum of 10x. And if you’re lucky, you’ll have three 10x multipliers totalling up to a mighty 1,000x your stake.

Free Spins

Next up is the free spins round, containing 5 free spins and a crowned 3-symbol high walking wild positioned on the rightmost reel. These 3 symbols will always be multiplier wilds, bearing their own increasing multipliers of up to 10x.

On every free spin, the walking wild shifts one step to the left. If any new multipliers land next to the stack, they’ll merge with the most adjacent multiplier wild within the walking stack, thus adding up the values of these two multipliers.

But there’s more to this bonus feature. Once the walking wild arrives at reel 1, it will initiate the bonus wheel for a chance to win an additional 5 free spins. If you succeed, the walking wild will move back to reel 5, together with its existing multipliers. Mind you, if the first appearance of the wheel consists of 1 ‘collect’ and 9 ‘free spins’ segments, your chances of accumulating more free spins will thin out each time the wheel is retriggered.

Neptune’s Riches: Ocean of Wilds Jackpot

We looked deep under the water but didn’t find a jackpot there. Instead, we fished out Neptune’s sunken treasure which is offering up 25,000x your stake!

RTP and Volatility

Neptune’s Riches: Ocean of Wilds is one of those slots that ticks all the right boxes. Alongside fun bonus features and a massive max potential, it also has a decent RTP of 96.15% and a high volatility, which could just help you achieve those big wins.
