Maritime themes in online casinos: features of slots



The theme of the water element, inviting and creepy at the same time, has always been attractive for seekers of romance and adventure. On the site of the casino Vulcan Platinum there are many slots dedicated to this topic. Practice shows that these machines are invariably in demand among users and occupy prominent positions in the rating.



Features of emulators belonging to the marine category
The specificity of these devices is in the variety of game plots. The sea theme can be divided into several quite self-sufficient groups. Let’s look at the main ones that are especially liked by gamers of all ages:
  • Hunt for treasure buried in the depths of the sea. For machines in this direction is very relevant theme of pearls. A bright representative of this group is Dolphin’s Pearl, a classic five-reel slot with bright design, a prize game and a good return ratio;
  • Pirate direction. Two stories prevail here. The first is the battles between sea robbers, where, along with the “real” characters, the ghosts of long-dead captains take part (examples of the games are Pirate and Ghost Pirates). The second storyline is the search for treasures on small islands lost in the ocean. All in the best traditions of Stevenson’s novel “Treasure Island”. Pirate’s Gold is one of the most interesting machines in this category. The symbolism is appropriate: sailboats, portraits of famous robbers, a “black mark” and even a parrot who has learned sea curses in all languages.
  • Underwater life. Orca is dedicated to the real inhabitants of the deep sea. There is also an emulator Mermaid’s Pearl, created based on the Disney film (the plot is borrowed from Andersen’s fairy tale about the Little Mermaid). Both categories are closely intertwined, so you can combine them into one group.
  • Discovery of new lands. These slots are especially liked by those who are interested in real historical events and voyages of famous navigators (Columbus, Marco Polo).



Technical parameters
Despite the plot differences, emulators have a lot in common. First of all, it concerns the principle of the game and technical parameters. The principle is quite simple: collect icons with the same symbols on active paylines. Common features inherent in all machines:
  • extremely simple interface;
  • Special symbols (wilds, scatters). The first help in drawing up winning combinations, sometimes they correspond to their own rates of increase in bets;
  • prize rounds, risk tournaments, jackpots for a variety of gaming;
  • 2 modes: demonstration and with real rates;
  • version for mobile gadgets.

Emulators are distinguished by an interesting sound design: imitation of the noise of waves, the whistling of storm wind, the cries of gulls. All this creates a realistic atmosphere of being on a ship or a desert island.
