Sea Emperor Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Game Theme & Storyline

Journey to the bottom of the ocean to do battle with the armies of the Sea Emperor in this very different take on a fantasy-themed slot. There’s a definite Asian feel to the graphics as the Sea Emperor and his beautiful daughter fight to defend their eerily beautiful undersea realm.

Haishen is the Chinese sea god with a dedicated temple in Guangzhou. There are numerous myths about him - some believe he was a fire god sent to stop terrible floods, others that he was an ancient king or even a musician famed for creating beautiful melodies. The female sea deity Mazu or Lin Mo is credited with supernatural powers to control the weather. These helped her save the lives of her brothers in a storm.

Graphics & Sound

Spade Gaming Slot Machines deliver good value for players seeking a high quality visual experience. The design in this slot contrasts the vividly coloured Sea Emperor and his denizens of the deep with the cool and eerie calm of the sunken kingdom. Our only criticism would be the number of royals on the reels that somewhat dilute the impact of the beautifully hand drawn graphics.

Sea Emperor is driven on by a pounding soundtrack that manages to combine a cinematic quality with an Asian theme. It’s one of the best things about this slot and pulls the player head first down into the depths.

How to Play

In terms of gameplay, you won’t find anything innovative in the Sea Emperor slot. This is a generic 5 reel, 25 payline slot with a couple of special symbols to look out for. What elevates it is the attention to detail in the graphics, which is most impressive in the 4 game symbols and 2 special symbols. Six royals complete the paytable. The top prize in the base game is 5,000x your stake when you land 5 of a kind of the squid-faced warrior, which doubles if a wild drops in to complete the winning combo.

It’s not hard to spot the Sea Emperor wild, as he appears stacked on the reels with his magnificent flowing beard and mighty sword. He appears on reels 2 and 4 only and doubles any win he helps to create by replacing any symbol except for the Mazu scatter.

The streamlined mobile-optimised player interface groups the relevant widgets around the spin button to the right of the reels. Bets, autoplay and turbo mode options are easy to access, so you’ll be ready to play Sea Emperor in just a few clicks.

Bet Sizes & Maximum Win

This slot offers players some flexible bet options with an entry level coin value of just 0.02 for a total minimum bet of 0.50. The maximum coin value on offer is 4.00 and you can play any coin value at bet levels between 1 and 5. The maximum stake in Sea Emperor is 500.00 credits per spin.

This slot offers a potential maximum prize of 20,000x your stake, but you’ll need patience and a significant bankroll to maximise the potential that this slot offers.

Bonus Features

Sea Emperor doesn’t offer much in the way of innovative features, but it does up the ante with multiplier wins in the base game and the free spins.

Wild: The Sea Emperor wild appears stacked on reels 2 and 4 and doubles any winning combo prize, giving a potential top win in the base game of 10,000x.

Free spins: The beautiful sea goddess Mazu is the scatter symbol and 3 or more symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger the free spins feature. You’ll start with 7 spins with an extra free spin awarded for every additional scatter that lands during the free games. All wins are tripled with a 3x multiplier. This feature cannot be retriggered.

RTP & Volatility

The RTP on offer in this slot is an above average 97%, but this figure should be treated with caution. It’s a theoretical reflection of the long term performance of a game, rather than a guaranteed payback.

Sea Emperor is a medium volatility slot, so we’re quite surprised to see such a high RTP. Slots with this type of variance tend to offer wins not only from the base game but also from the bonus features, but in practice, you’ll sit through a lot of blank spins before you trigger those valuable free spins.

Other Games You Might Like

If you like the underwater theme, Golden Whale offers wins up to a whopping 150,000x your stake and a free spins round with up to either a 15x multiplier or 33 free spins. Lucky Koi has wins up to 100,000x and a generous free spins round with retriggers, plus the money tree bonus game.

Our Verdict

This is another great effort from Spade Gaming. The sounds and visuals are fantastic and create a thrilling and ethereal atmosphere that draws the player into the narrative.

There’s nothing special when it comes to the gameplay or the bonus features - this is a standard payline slot that offers wilds and free spins. But the multipliers available for both wild and free spin wins are highly welcome, even if the free spins themselves are a little stingy, with just 7 games on offer and no retriggers. But if you fancy spending a session exploring the undersea world of the Sea Emperor, you won’t regret it.
