Pearl Tracker - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Miki Munki is a cute monkey and the star of this underwater-themed slot. Dive to the depths of the coral reef, where he plays with his friends to collect pearls that transform into Wilds and free spins in this exciting yet adorable ocean slot by Gaming1.

The game has a simple layout and takes place on a 5x3-reel grid with just 10 paylines. To win, simply line up three or more matching symbols along one of these paylines starting on the leftmost reel. Miki Munki himself is the Wild symbol in this slot and is able to substitute for any other symbols to help you land longer winning combinations and better prizes. He is also the key to the free spins bonus in this slot, giving you free spins and one Super Spin when you land three or more of his likeness anywhere on the reels. We’ll look at the bonus features in more detail later in this slot review.

How to Play Pearl Tracker

Whenever we’re faced with a new online slot, the first thing we like to do is play a few demo spins to get the hang of the controls, rules, paylines and more. You can find Pearl Tracker and loads of other Gaming1 demo slots to enjoy completely free of charge right here at Slots Temple.

In Pearl Tracker, the controls are all found beneath the reels as follows:

1. The first thing you should look for in Pearl Tracker is the ‘?’ icon in the bottom left corner. Clicking on this icon will bring up information on the game, including the paytable, paylines, and details of the bonus game.

2. Once you’ve familiarised yourself with the rules, it’s time to set your bet. You can do this by clicking the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ icons by the ‘Total Bet’ to the right of the ‘?’ icon.

3. When you’re ready to start spinning, click on the large ‘Spin’ button in the bottom middle of the screen encased in a bubble to spin the reels manually.

4. If you prefer to set up automatic spins, click on the ‘Auto’ button to the left. Here, you can simply select the number of automatic spins you’d like to take place or click ‘More Options’ to set up any limits.

5. You can always keep an eye on your total balance (‘Credits’) and latest win to the right of the ‘Spin’ button.

Bet Sizes & Paytable

Wagers can be placed in Pearl Tracker from 0.20 up to 10.00 per spin, which is a fairly decent betting range for a 10-payline slot.

Bonus Features

The Miki Munki symbol is more than just the Wild in Pearl Tracker; it also acts as the Scatter to trigger the free spins bonus when you land three or more in any position on the reels.

Landing three or more Wilds triggers free spins plus one Super Spin.

During the free spins round, any time you land a Wild symbol on the reels, a pearl will be added to the counter on the left of the screen. Land at least three to win an extra 10x free spins.

When no more free spins remain, the Super Spin will be launched. For this spin, every pearl you accumulated during the free spins will transform another symbol into a Wild, giving you even more chances to win.

Conclusion

Overall, we really enjoyed playing Pearl Tracker thanks to the adorable animations and rewarding spins. We knew this slot had a high volatility so we didn’t necessarily expect to trigger the free spins bonus round very often, but we were suitably happy being able to trigger it a couple of times over 100 spins and found the feature to be incredibly rewarding (although it was definitely harder to collect pearls than we hoped it would be!). We won more than 400 credits on a 10 bet thanks to the free spins! We thought Gaming1 did a great job bringing this slot to life and creating characters with plenty of personality to keep us spinning with some hugely impressive rewards up for grabs.
