My 470 spins at 1.50 ended at 750.40 from 1,000.00, and the single win that mattered came on spin 14, when two Kiss collectors filled and reels 1 and 2 turned Wild for 108.60. Two Player Decision Free Spins Bonus rounds paid 18.30 between them, 4% of everything the session won.
And so I get to Ocean Belles MegaJackpots. It is from IGT. Other MegaJackpots games from IGT include Cleopatra MegaJackpots and Wolf Run MegaJackpots.
Ocean Belles MegaJackpots runs on a 5-reel, 4-row game layout, and assorted symbols land on these reels, creating combinations employing 75 fixed paylines. My session ran 470 spins at a stake of 1.50, and the balance peaked at 1,123.45 on spin 16.
Minty’s Expert Conclusion: One item to keep a watch out for is the RTP configuration. It is 92.50%, and IGT hasn't driven the maths model to extreme degrees. I wagered 705.00 and won 455.40, a 64.6% session return that left the balance at 750.40 from a start of 1,000.00. A volatility score of 2 out of 6 renders Ocean Belles MegaJackpots a reasonably predictable affair. Of my 470 spins, 191 paid something, 123 of them less than the 1.50 stake, and the longest run without a win was 14 spins.
When identical symbols land left to right on successive reels from reel number 1, winning combinations connect in Ocean Belles MegaJackpots, and this amounts to 75 paylines, fixed in position. Only the highest win on each payline is paid, and coinciding wins on different paylines are added together.
Features comprise synchronised reels and the Wild Stays 2 Plays mechanic. They comprise a MegaJackpots progressive and free spins. Every bet has a chance at the MegaJackpots progressive, and the higher the bet, the better the odds.
On every base game spin, a collector rests under each reel, and each Red Kiss or Golden Kiss symbol on a reel fills its collector by 1. Any mix of Red Kiss and Golden Kiss symbols counts toward a reel's collector. 2 Kisses signify it is complete. The complete collector renders that reel Wild for the following 2 spins. My biggest win, 108.60 or 72.4x the stake, came on spin 14 with reels 1 and 2 wild from Wild Stays 2 Plays.
Multiple reels can be wild at once, and collecting 5 Golden Kiss symbols under the reels wins the MegaJackpots progressive. Golden Kiss symbols stay under the reels until the progressive is won or until Wild Stays 2 Plays activates on the reel holding them.
Getting 3 or more Bonus scatter symbols triggers the Player Decision Free Spins Bonus, and when 3, 4, or 5 scatters are in sight, the player chooses between 30, 15 or 5, 60, 30 or 10, or 90, 45 or 15 free spins. Free spins play at the same total bet as the spin that triggered them. These can be retriggered up to 4 times. I triggered the bonus twice in 470 spins, both times with 3 Bonus scatters and neither time with a retrigger. During free spins, 1, 2 or 3 random Wild Reels arrive with the choice selected, with fewer spins for more Wild Reels.
On spin 56 I took 5 free spins with 3 Wild Reels for 1.80, and 401 spins later, on spin 457, 30 free spins with 1 Wild Reel paid 16.50, or 11.0x the stake.
On the reels, big stacks of one symbol, chosen at random, land, and the identical symbol can pile on multiple reels at once. The Bonus scatter, the Red Kiss and the Golden Kiss never appear in these stacks.
Ocean Belles MegaJackpots' Wild Stays 2 Plays mechanic keeps the collectors busy.
