iSoftBet created the online slot game called 9 Pearls of Fortune, featuring a layout of 5 reels and 3 rows with 20 ways to win. The game offers a 96% RTP and has low to medium volatility. Players can start with a minimum bet of 0.20, and for those looking to bet higher, the maximum bet goes up to 20. This provides players with ample opportunities to achieve the game's maximum win of 750 times their initial bet, all dependent on their luck. All players need is a bit of good fortune to potentially secure significant wins in this game.
Achieving five-of-a-kind combinations leads to payouts ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 times the bet for low-value symbols (J-A) and 1 to 5 times the stake for high-value symbols like seahorses, lobsters, stingrays, or fish. The starfish serves as the wild symbol, appearing on all reels and substituting for regular symbols to complete winning lines. It holds the same value as the highest-paying fish symbol when forming winning combinations by itself.
Pearls emerge on reels 2, 3, or 4, and if at least 3 appear, a Pearl Respin is triggered in both the base game and free spins. During the respin, only the three middle reels are active. Triggered Pearls are held in place, and new Pearls or blank spaces may land. New Pearls that appear are locked in position, awarding another respin.
Scatter symbols can land on reels 1, 3, or 5, and when 3 of them appear, the free spins feature activates. A wheel spin determines the number of free spins (10, 12, or 15) and a win multiplier (x2, x3, or x5) for the round. This multiplier applies to line wins and prizes won from Pearl Respins during the free spins. It's important to note that free spins cannot be retriggered.
Additionally, the Bubbly modifier, a random effect in the base game, can occur. When activated, bubbles fill the reels, offering the chance to trigger free spins or the Pearl Respins feature.
