Animals
Players are taken on a rich underwater sonic adventure, where ethereal sounds envelop the player throughout an immersive slot experience. Free Spins takes the game up a notch, by introducing the unlimited multiplier that does not reset between spins. A wheel bonus awards free modifiers for the feature - increasing the number of Free Spins, customizing Echo Roll™, or increasing the multiplier increment, resulting in wildly different experiences. Lucky players can even upgrade all 3 modifier types from the wheel, resulting in 12 Free Spins where every win increases the multiplier by 3x, and every Echo Roll™ fills the empty positions with Wilds!
Players can further upgrade their experience with UPSIZER™, by buying more spins, higher multiplier increments, or simply improving the Echo Roll™ feature. Alchemy’s patent-pending UPSIZER™ feature has proven itself with strong retention capabilities, and is set to be a prolific feature in the market. Aquanauts is the first of multiple iterations on the UPSIZER™ feature, giving both players and operators a first-to-market opportunity with this improved feature.
Reels are encircled by a ‘Treasure Trail’ consisting of 15 ‘meter bars’. These bars are initially uncharged, but each time a Clam Wild is removed from the play area because of a cluster win, 1 bar of the Treasure Trail meter is charged. The Reef Raider -- a crazy pirate crustacean searching for treasure -- moves along the treasure trail as its meter bars get charged.
Features lie at each of the four points along the Treasure Trail and are activated when the Reef Raider arrives at that point along the track. Features include the Anchor Drop Feature, Random Wilds Feature, Mystery Chest Feature, and the Canon Blast Feature. 15 or more charged Treasure Trail meter bars triggers Free Spins.
Tractor Beam, a video slot game, showcases three distinct features, all under the influence of the veiled Alien spacecraft - Beam ‘Em Up!, Clone Attack!, and Abduction Spins.
Operating at high volatility, Tractor Beam offers a frequent chance of winning, with a successful outcome occurring approximately once in every three spins. However, the true rewards lie within the Tractor Beam features - fostering goodwill towards the Aliens may prove advantageous, as they arrive in peace...
Beam ‘Em Up! spontaneously activates during any spin, dissipating all non-organic symbols to fuel the spaceship's needs. Consequently, only high-paying symbols and wilds grace these spins.
The Clone Attack! feature materializes unpredictably during any spin, summoning forth one of the farm animals in sizable stacks. This volatile feature promises substantial rewards or none at all...
Abduction Spins, initiated by three or more Scatters, bestows 7, 9, or 12 spins, initiating a Free Spin mode where victorious symbols vanish from the reels. Wilds persist amidst the chaos, while each abducted Scatter grants an additional spin. Should the Aliens snatch away all symbols, players are left solely with Wilds for the remaining spins!
The game's main attraction is the Penguin Liberation Mode, which kicks in when a Wild symbol appears on either the 2nd or 4th reel during a winning spin. This Wild remains fixed in place throughout the Liberation Mode, which continues to spin until a non-winning spin occurs. Throughout this mode, Penguins appearing on each spin can grant players an extra Sticky Wild on the 2nd or 4th reel, or swap a symbol on the 3rd reel to secure a win. As an added perk, players can encounter a stacked Emperor Wild, which gradually descends one row per spin, ensuring respins until it exits the reels! So, let's spin those reels and assist the penguins in spreading their wings while amassing substantial victories!
Trigger the Penguin Liberation Mode by landing a win with a Wild symbol during the base game. Once activated, remain in this mode as long as your winning streak persists. Within this mode, each spin features a penguin attempting its escape, unless the Stacked Emperor Wild is present. If the penguin successfully jumps onto the reels, one of two outcomes occurs: either a Sticky Wild is added to reels 2 or 4 during a winning spin, or a symbol on reel 3 is switched to ensure a win on a losing spin. Conversely, if the penguin's attempt fails, no changes take place on the reels. Throughout this mode, all spins adhere to the same rules as the base game. However, it's important to note that increasing the bet size will reset all Sticky Wilds and promptly end the Penguin Liberation Mode.
During the Penguin Liberation Mode, the Stacked Emperor Wild appears on the third reel, consisting of three stacked Wild symbols. His presence guarantees a win whenever any part of him lands on the reels. With each spin, he descends by one reel position until he disappears. Notably, while the Stacked Emperor Wild is active, penguins refrain from attempting their daring escapes.
Wilds act as substitutes for all regular symbols. When a regular Wild symbol contributes to a win, it remains on the reels for the next spin.
