Our take
6×7 underwater adventure from Microgaming with 117,649 ways to win, 95.98% RTP, and a 5000× max-win cap.
This is an ambitious slot with high symbol count (6 reels × 7 rows) and consequently numerous ways-to-win. Microgaming's Multiway mechanic—adding 1024 additional ways—increases the theoretical connect-paths beyond the base 117,649. Avalanche wins (symbol cascades) mean wins can chain across multiple spins without resetting the stake.
Theming is woven throughout. Mermaids, sea creatures, treasures, and weaponry evoke an underwater treasure-hunt narrative. Poseidon and fire elements inject mythic gravitas. Crystals, pearls, and chests reinforce the 'ancient treasure' concept. The theme does not intrude on mechanics; it provides thematic scaffolding.
Free spins are a core feature, and the game offers multiple paths to trigger them: scatters, picks (bonus-pick feature), and chest icons that unlock additional free spins mid-feature. This creates a sense of progressive unlocking rather than flat free-spin packages.
At 95.98% RTP, the game offers fair but not exceptional payout rates. The 5000× maximum win is respectable for a 6×7 Megaways-adjacent game. Avalanche mechanics and Multiway bonuses mean wins can compound, but they also introduce volatility—long dry spells are plausible as the player waits for avalanche chains to trigger.
Pros
- 6×7 grid with 117,649 ways-to-win + 1024 Multiway bonus creates extensive symbol-connection paths
- Avalanche mechanic (cascading wins) compounds payouts and extends spins without resetting stake
- Multiple free-spin triggers (scatters, picks, treasure chests) and feature extension create dynamic bonus rounds
- Strong thematic integration (mermaids, Poseidon, underwater setting) enhances immersion
- 5000× max win offers meaningful upside in a complex game
Cons
- High grid size and Multiway mechanics create complex win calculations; line-by-line evaluation is difficult
- 95.98% RTP is mid-range; not exceptional for high-variance, high-feature games
- Avalanche cascades introduce unpredictable volatility; long dry spells between feature triggers are common
- Multiple feature types (free spins, picks, chests, bonus scatters) increase cognitive load
- 6×7 grid and numerous symbols can feel visually cluttered on smaller screens

What are Multiway mechanics?
Multiway mechanics allow symbols to win from left-to-right and right-to-left, and from non-adjacent reels. This increases the number of valid win combinations.

When a win lands, the winning symbols cascade away and new symbols fall to fill the gaps. If these form new wins, they cascade again, creating chains without resetting the bet.
