Mermaid Riches Slot Review

Mermaid Riches gives its Free Spins a visible change of shape: the base reels step upward from one row to five, while the bonus mirrors that profile, placing the tallest reel at the left and the shortest at the right. The game also features sticky Wilds and a win multiplier up to x10. PG Soft’s public description does not say how Free Spins are triggered, how the multiplier grows, or exactly how sticky Wilds behave. The underwater mermaid kingdom and the beachside discovery that introduces it make tropical-and-beach a defensible theme. Its strongest confirmed distinction is the shift in reel geometry between the main game and Free Spins, rather than a fully specified bonus sequence.

A stepped profile that reverses

The standard layout is five reels with one, two, three, four and five rows respectively. The official description says the Free Spins reels are mirrored: reel one has five rows, reel two four, reel four two and reel five one. Reel three is not assigned a different height in that sentence, so the source supports describing the reverse profile without inventing an exception at the center. This is a distinctive presentation; the catalog does not provide a paylines count, ways total, or a complete base-game win rule.

Sticky Wild symbols and a win multiplier up to x10 are also listed. The source does not say how long a Wild remains, what removes it, or how the multiplier increases. Nor does it define whether x10 is a cap applied in both game phases or only one. Those facts matter because persistence and multiplier growth can change how repeated spins relate to one another. The reliable point is that both mechanics exist and the multiplier reaches a stated maximum of x10; any detailed accumulation path needs the game’s help rules.

Free Spins change the frame

The Free Spins Feature is described as offering a chance to win more when the reels are mirrored. The public entry does not state the trigger condition or the number of spins awarded. It also does not explain whether the mirrored profile changes the number of ways, adds any symbols, or simply rearranges the row heights. Keeping those differences separate avoids turning a visual reversal into a claim about a particular payout model.

The relationship between the mirrored reels, sticky Wilds and multiplier remains open. PG Soft does not specify whether existing Wilds carry into Free Spins, if new sticky Wilds can be added there, or whether the multiplier rises after a win. There is no stated reset rule or retrigger. The useful assessment is therefore about contrast: the bonus changes the screen’s orientation and retains the game’s named Wild/multiplier feature set, but the precise interaction is not in the short description. Players should consult the in-game instructions for the Scatter or other trigger, spin count, Wild persistence and multiplier scope before evaluating the bonus’s length or value.

Standard listing

The catalog lists maximum RTP of 96.71%, volatility value 2, maximum win of 20,000 times the bet and release date August 2, 2021. Operator RTP settings may differ; the numeric volatility scale is not explained. No paylines count, Free Spins trigger, multiplier increment, Wild removal condition or retrigger rule is supplied. The 20,000x maximum is a ceiling, not an estimate of what the mirrored arrangement or x10 multiplier will commonly produce.

Strengths and weak points

Strengths

The five-reel row profile has a clear identity, and the Free Spins mirror the layout; sticky Wilds and a multiplier ceiling of x10 are also explicitly listed.

Weaknesses

The catalog omits the Free Spins trigger and count, Wild persistence rule, multiplier progression and how the mirrored profile changes win evaluation.

Our Editor’s View

Mermaid Riches is easiest to distinguish by its mirrored Free Spins layout: a 1-2-3-4-5 base profile becomes a reverse arrangement in the bonus. Sticky Wilds and a multiplier up to x10 add recognizable feature elements, while the undersea princess and beach discovery give the game its tropical setting. But the public catalog leaves the bonus trigger, spin award and the relationship among the three mechanics unstated. Readers who value a changing board may enjoy the visual shift; those judging the feature’s payout progression should verify how the multiplier grows and whether Wilds persist in the bonus. The maximum win does not explain either the trigger or the effect of the reversed screen.
