Water World - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

The Water World slot is made by game designer CQ9Gaming. It is played on 5x3 reels with 243 paylines that pay from left to right.

When winning combinations are formed, they disappear from the reels and are replaced by an avalanche mechanism with symbols falling from above the reels. This process continues for free until no more wins are formed. 

This is one of those online slots with scatter symbols that generate free spins when at least three appear on the reels. Multipliers are added in this phase and cap at 10x. Free games cannot be retriggered.

There is a wild symbol that substitutes for all other symbols apart from the scatter and comes stacked on the centre reels.

Other than the scatter, there are five top-value symbols featuring underwater wildlife. These are supplemented by five playing card symbols.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack 

This slot has a sea life theme with five inhabitants of the deep depicted in cartoon style and locked in blocks of ice. We have to mention that the design is cutesy and may appeal to those who do not meet the age requirement to play.

The reels are colourful and sit on a backdrop depicting a deep sea trench. The soundtrack is a gentle orchestral composition that does little to add to the excitement and does not seem to fit the theme of this slot.

Water World RTP and variance 

The Water World online slot has no official RTP on the game site. This is often the case with this designer and is disappointing. The game is medium variance and the avalanche mechanism keeps the action moving along.

If you prefer online slots with more information on the RTP, take a look at the Fat Rabbit slot from Push Gaming. This has an RTP of 96.45 per cent and is available as one of our free casino slots here at Slots Temple.

This is a pretty straightforward online slots game, but let’s dive in and give you a few tips on how to fish around for wins:

1. Wait for the main game screen to open. On the right of the reels, you will see + and - buttons above and below the spin button.

5. Click the information button to open a new screen.
6. This opens with the wild and scatter symbols and a description of their powers.

8. Scroll down for a brief description of the avalanche mechanism.
9. Below this, the free games are explained.
10. Finally, how the paylines operate is outlined on this screen.

You are all set to play by hitting the spin button. Remember that Water World is one of the free casino slots you can try here at Slots Temple, which is a great way to get a feel for the gameplay and payouts without risking your own money.

Always set yourself a budget for your session and play responsibly, taking advantage of the timeout and self-exclusion functions if necessary.

Water World free spins

Three scatter symbols trigger 15 free spins and pay 5x your stake. Four award a 50x payout and 20 free games, whilst five award a maximum 250x payout and 25 free spins. This feature cannot retrigger. During the free games, the avalanche feature triggers multipliers starting at 2x and rising to through increments to 10x.

Water World review: our verdict 

Water World has a great free spins feature with lots of action, but the variance means it is tough to trigger. There are also a couple of issues with the game, such as the lack of an official RTP and the rather cutesy design.

The bet spread is good, which will appeal to some players. Overall, we found the game a little dull.
