The wombat says: Set sail on the adventure of a lifetime with Captain Ahab and his crew on the hunt for the humongous sea mammal that chewed off his leg many years before.
The Moby Dick slot comes from Rabcat Gaming in conjunction with Microgaming, and it’s based on the 1851 novel of the same name by Herman Melville. This ain’t no traditional game like the Fireworks Frenzy slot machine despite the theme. We are talking features galore here!
That all sounds nice, but will we bag some whale-size wins? Let’s drop the anchor and find out…
Look and Feel
The reels are against the backdrop of the ocean with Ahab’s ship the Pequod bobbling along on the back left side of the screen. Although that captain himself looks a lot like Abraham Lincoln which is a bit weird, we still think the visuals in this game are pretty nice – but it’s the atmospheric music that will really get your paws a-tingling and as the reels spin for wins.
All in all, Moby leaves more traditional games like Foxin’ Wins Football Fever in the shade when it comes to to graphics and sound. Give it a spin and you’ll see what we mean!
Game Play
Moby Dick is 5 reel, 3 row slot, with 25 pay-lines and minimum and maximum bets that range from 0.25 to 50 per spin. Your symbols on the reels include a tankard of ale, the ship’s anchor, and Abe Lincoln/Captain Ahab as your high value symbols, while the usual 10, J, Q, K and A playing cards make up the low value symbols.
The ship’s wheel acts as the wild symbol in Moby Dick slot and will replace all symbols (except for the scatter) to make up more winning combos for you. The Scatter icon here is the big old whale’s gob.
Free Spins and Bonus Features
OK, this is where Moby Dick really puts the pedal to the metal just like games such as the King Kong Cash slot from Blueprint and NetEnt’s Guns n Roses. It’s bursting with features!
Win Freezing
In base game every time a winning combo lands, your symbols become sticky on the reels (they quite literally freeze) and you’ll be awarding a re-spin.
These re-spins will keep just keep on coming until wilds or more matching symbol are added to the original cluster until no more of these appear on the reels – then you’ll receive one more payout.
Free Spins
This cool bonus is triggered by landing 4x of the Whale Scatter icons anywhere on the reels. Do this and it’s 10, 12 or 15 free spins for getting 4x, 5x or 6x scatters respectively. Land a massive 7x of the Scatters and you’ll be be dished out 20 of the spinny blighters, with the max number of spins on offer going up to 40. You’ll also find that the freeze feature is in play during this bonus, too! Cheers Rabcat!
Gamble Feature
Feeling like lucky Wombats? Then click on the ‘Gamble’ button below the reels after any winning spin. Pick from 2 options in the cup of tea, and if you draw out the tea bag out, your stake will be doubled. But if you pick uo the stinky fish skeleton, you will lose your bet.
Conclusion:
Moby Dick is a fun little slot to play, and most importantly it also has a theme that this slot lovin’ wombat hasn’t come across before – which is really saying something! As a low variance slot with an RTP of 96.00% you should have a whale of time (sorry we just couldn’t resist), so set sail and give it a spin!
