I’m exploring the deep blue sea after playing with £10 on Sun Vegas

IN my first Keep Up with Katrina trip to fabulous Sun Vegas of the year, I played the sea-themed games with a £10 budget. You won’t believe what I was able to buy with my winnings!

I found myself drawn to the marine-inspired games on Sun Vegas.

Armed with my usual budget of £10, I took on the sea slots and slingos.

*

Did I sea a return on my stakes? Did I wave goodbye to my playing pot? Was I a marine machine and able to add to my winnings pot?

Let’s sea how I got on. 

Big Bass – Keeping it Reel

• Spent £1.90
• Won 4p

The Big Bass games are hugely popular on Sun Vegas. So, I decided to see what all the fuss was about.

As soon as I clicked on the game, the fisherman icon got turned into solid gold.

That’s how I knew there was something fishy about this game…

However, I was ready to be reeled in hook, line and sinker!

Players can win up to 10,000 x their base bet on Big Bass – Keeping it Reel.

Plus, if you land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols, you unlock 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively.

It’s during the free spin games that the Golden Wild can appear. That golden intro made more sense at this point!

HERE’S HOW TO PLAY ANOTHER OF THE BIG BASS GAMES – BIG BASS SPLASH

During the free spins, the value of the Fish Money symbols NOT collected are stored in a landing net.

With each spins, a random fish is able to escape the landing net and its value is subtracted.

But, for the fishies that don’t achieve the great escape, their values are collected and added to the winnings pot if the Golden Wild is spun in.

A surprising extra of this slot is the ante bet feature. This increases the bet multiplier to 15 x your stake per line.

When enabled, this feature increases your chances of spinning in a Scatter.

Fishin’ Frenzy Jackpot King

• Spent £2.60
• Won 20p

After a slow start, I swam away and found a new sunken treasure to explore.

The Fishin Frenzy’ franchise is another highly successful series of games, so it made sense to try my hand here as well.

I didn’t know which way this would go, whether I’d walk away with a friend or make some sea anemones…

I was particularly keen to try the Jackpot King version of Fishin’ Frenzy because it’s a Jackpot King Deluxe game.

RULES FOR CHEAT – THE CARD GAME

These slots have three jackpots, the Royal, the Regal and the Jackpot King.

The Royal and Regal pots are “Must Be Won” jackpots that will automatically activate if they reach £3,500 and £35,000, respectively.

All of the pots can be randomly triggered during any game of any stake value.   

While the Royal and Regal pots are cool, they’re little shrimp compared to the Jackpot King, which is currently worth over £1.64 MILLION.

It’s amazing to think that that will be won be someone after a single click. I could be about to become a MILLIONAIRE.

… I didn’t….

However, I did manage to add 20p to my pirate booty. 

Age of the Gods: Ruler of the Seas

• Spent £1.50
• Won £3.08

I was giving this session my breast stroke, but the winnings weren’t great.

However, as a wise, if forgetful, fish once said: “Just keep swimming”.

The base game has 30 paylines, giving you the chance to win up to 7,500 x your base bet.

There are also four jackpots that can be triggered by any spin of any value. 

The slot has lots of extras that give you more opportunities to win cash. There are five respin features and five free games.

During the respin games, the reels expand and an extra 30 paylines are added to the game.

YOU CAN ALSO MAKE A SPLASH IN THE POPULAR SLOT GAME FISHIN’ FRENZY

If you trigger one of the free game extras, an extra 60 paylines are added, making a total of 90 paylines!

I like that the features are named after Ancient Greek figures: Poseidon, Athena, Medusa, Cyclops and Pegasus. Each feature is slightly different, so it’s exciting not only to trigger the onus rounds, but also find out which one.

I played less games at a bigger stake value: two games at 45p and one at 60p. I won the total £3.08 on the 60p stake.

Slingo Shark Week

• Spent £4
• Won £15

If you’re thinking: “Slingo? Water you talking about?” I’ll explain!

Slingo is a hybrid gaming format that combines bingo and slots.

Like bingo, you have a grid of numbers and can earn prizes by completing whole horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines.

You’re given a set number of spins to complete as many slingos (the terms for completed lines) as possible.

Like a slot game, each spin reveals a certain number of game symbols.

If the game symbols you spin in match with those on your play table, it’s marked off.

In Shark Week, you have to have five slingos under your belt before you start winning prizes.

However, they can get quite big, quite quickly, after that. For instance, the prize for the sixth slingo is an instant cash prize of 5 x your bet value.

When you get Wilds or Super Wilds, you can pick which of the numbers to dab off.

My advice would always try to consider which tiles can form diagonals.

This game was a great chance to add to my winnings pot. Thanks to the instant 5x prize for six slingos, I bagged £5 on one game and £10 on my next. This meant that I won £15!

Are you gonna bingo

I managed to win cash on each of the four games that I played.

However, there was quite a difference in the amount that each game paid out.

I’d like to apologise for all of the sea-themed puns along the way, I know they were a bit carp.

With my epic pot of £18.32, I found the perfect ocean-inspired treat to help me learn all about the real deep blue:
