Mermaids Galore Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

How to play Mermaids Galore slots

The video slot Mermaids Galore has five reels (no pun intended!) in a five, four, three, four, five format with 1,200 ways to win. Payouts are awarded for between two and five matching symbols from left to right. Play starts at 0.38 credits for each spin, going up to 180.

Mermaids Galore slot on mobile - Android, iPhones and tablets

Mermaid’s Galore is mobile compatible on Android, iPhone and tablet, which means that players do not have to download the app to play it on a small screen. It retains all its visual attraction and features when played on a mobile device.

Mermaids Galore RTP (payout) & volatility

Mermaids Galore - which is something of an exaggeration, as there are only five on screen! - is a medium variance game with an RTP (return to player) of between a respectful 94.53 per cent and a pretty impressive 97.52 per cent. This is dependent on the gold symbols being activated and whether the buy option is used in the HyperBonus.

Mermaids Galore bonus features & free spins

Mermaids galore has a number of bonus features, so let’s take a look at them:

Personal progressive bonus jackpots - these are a popular addition to many of Kalamba’s games, with Mermaids Galore benefitting from three with a percentage fixed at 0.25 per cent for each bet with a contributing jackpot associated with it. To win any of them, players need to achieve a specific number of gold mermaid symbols in one spin anywhere on the reels. Here’s how they work:

- Silver bonus jackpot - it takes either 15 or 16 golden mermaid symbols to trigger this particular jackpot. Its seed is 3,000x the bet divided by a list of numbers - 38, 58, 80, 108, 180 - when the five gold symbols are played.
- Gold bonus jackpot - again, this is triggered by a number of golden symbols - in this case, either 17 or 18 of them. Its seed is 20,000x the bet divided by the same numbers as for the silver bonus jackpot when the five gold symbols are respectively played.
- Platinum bonus jackpot - for this one to be activated, it is 19 or above golden mermaid symbols. The jackpot seed is a whopping 200,000x.

Another feature of Mermaids Galore is the HyperBonus Buy One. The buy option is pretty state of the art for online slots, ensuring gamers have direct access to free spins for a fixed amount. If no extra golden symbols are triggered, the final cost is calculated from the default bet. This is how it works:

51.6x the default bet: 10 free spins with the white-haired girl as the golden symbol.
79.2x the default bet: 10 free spins with two golden symbols.
113.8x the default bet: 10 free spins with three golden symbols.
187.4x the default bet: 10 free spins with four golden symbols.
257.2x the default bet: 10 free spins with five golden symbols.

The game also has a free spins feature. Players can trigger 10 of these by hitting the scatter symbols on the three reels; what’s more, these can keep retriggering! The round can be played with the number of golden symbols activated by the retrigger; in addition, the wild symbol will be replaced with a 2x multiplier wild.

Mermaids Galore tips, tricks, cheats and strategy

As the progressive jackpot values are stored for each player in his or her account, this presents a great opportunity to trigger more golden symbols and makes it easier to win any of the three jackpots. A wild symbol counts as a golden symbol, while the 2x and 3x wilds in the free spins count for two and three golden symbols. This is a nice little tip for those playing Kalamba free slots.

Mermaids Galore review & rating

The visual appeal in Mermaids Galore is pretty stunning, with the ocean both beautiful and endless and the dappled sunlight making for a calm and peaceful space. Add the soundtrack to this and you will be enchanted as you enter the game for the first time; however, for those who like action-packed scenarios and a gaming buzz, Mermaids Galore may not be for you.

It is worth bearing in mind that one of its major downfalls is the prohibitive cost for the extra features, as neither medium nor low rollers are likely to be in a position to be able to afford the hefty extra costs. Another downside is that a player’s chance of winning any of the big jackpots is really at the mercy of the activation of the golden mermaid symbols, which puts players in a position where they may bet more than they normally would. That said, it is definitely still worth a try; alternatively, why not play Mermaid's Millions at Slots Million Casino?

How to win at Mermaids Galore slot

The pay symbols appear in the base game and the free spins area. There are six different coloured gemstones at the lower end: red, purple, green, turquoise, blue and orange. Payouts for one to five are equal for all such symbols of low value at 0.66x a player’s original stake. These are followed by the five mermaids, which appear in ascending order with different coloured hair: red, green, white, turquoise and brown. Note that all except the white-haired one appear as either golden- or silver-coloured symbols - activate the gold ones and your winnings will increase by between 3.3x and 6.6x the original bet.

Like mermaids? Here are some fun facts

Folklore tells us that a mermaid is a water creature with the head and upper part of the body taking human form and the bottom part sporting a fish-like tail. Interestingly, cultures throughout the world have many stories regarding mermaids, from Africa to Europe, Asia and the Near East.

The first tale regarding mermaids came from Assyria. The story centres around a goddess called Atargatis who, after accidentally killing her lover, is consumed with shame and guilt and turns herself into a mermaid. Other stories focus on an association with mermaids and natural disasters, such as flooding and storms, or other disasters such as shipwrecks and drownings. Mermaids have also been described as bestowing acts of kindness and falling in love with human males.

Although not as popular, the male mermaid - known as a merman - appeared in folklore and heraldry. Although less well known, they are closely associated with appearing with their female companions.
Sadly, there is no firm evidence that mermaids or mermen exist, although many sightings have been claimed, with some of the latest in this century in Zimbabwe and Israel. Stories and accounts of their existence may be based on aquatic mammals, although it is most likely that they exist as a form of folklore and storytelling, living in our imaginations from childhood.

Mermaids remain enduringly popular. In 1836, Hans Christian Andersen published his fairy tale The Little Mermaid, with a plethora of books, films and paintings continuing to flood the market - if you will excuse the pun!

Conclusion

Regardless of whether you decide that Mermaids Galore is a video slot game for you, we would definitely recommend giving it a go. Our last piece of advice is not to be put off by the potentially hefty cost of some of the features.
