Unfortunately, Octopays has been discontinued. Sorry about that. Have you tried Octopus Treasue by Play ‘n GO?
The wombat says: Unleash the Kraken! Dive right into this ocean-themed Octopays slot from Microgaming. With five reels and three rows it’s a 243 ways to win game that we love – because we get bored of looking at the pay-lines every 5 minutes.
The graphics are great (who knew an octopus could be so cute?) and even the ultimate seamonster, the Kraken, makes a cameo during the Free Spins round. With some very long tentacles that hug the reels in a sinister fashion every now and again…
We love a subaqua slot here at Wombat Casino. From the Secrets of Atlantis slot to Dolphin Gold, we’ve got you covered if you like watching bubbles!
How to play the Octopays Slot
Set your bets and start spinning! Your sea-themed symbols include barnacled treasure chests, an old diving helmet, rusty anchors, a Moray Eel, Baby Octopus and a Hammerhead shark. 9 to ace make up the rest of the reels – well what kind of slot would it be without poker cards?!
The Treasure Chest is the highest paying symbol on the screen, and 5 of these watery wonders will scoop you 800 coins! Bets start from 0.01 up and go up to 0.50. One to ten coins can also be wagered per line with maximum bets of $150. The highest jackpot Base is 800 coins and 16,000 coins for top way win.
Wet n Wild
No, we are not talking about the weather in Scotland. On Octopays, the cute orange Octopuses are the Wilds and replace any symbol except for Moray (the one that looks like a creepy Muppet) symbol.
It only appears on reels 2 and 4, and if the orange Octopus symbol doesn’t manage to pull off a winning line for you, he’ll swim/float right off the screen, which is a nice touch.
Free Spins
Get 2 of the cute orange Octopus symbols scattered on the second and fourth reels to set off the mighty Kraken Free Spins feature. A bright red giant squid will appear behind the reels and loom over you for your 12 free spins. He is also responsible for placing a random number of wild orange octopuses on the reels 1, 2, 4, and 5 before your spin, so be nice to him!
Moray Multipier
During the Free Spins, the Moray Eel symbol appears, and your multiplier will go up by one or more depending on the number of Moray Eels that appear along with the Kraken in the first spin.
You can receive up to 12 free spins during this round. But it gets complicated too… The eel can also substitute for any game symbol except for Octopus symbol and doubles the prize – BUT – if both they appear on the screen simultaneously, th eOctopus MUST be in the winning combination… Confused? Check out the Paytable for more info, or just give it a go!
Conclusion:
We love the design of the Octopays slot, and it’s the little touches that make this game easy on the eyes. It’s one of those undersea feel good games like the Dolphin Gold slot which is great fun to play.
Check out the treasure chest! It opens to reveal its riches… And then there’s the that tiny fish darts out from the antique diver’s helmet. We also enjoyed the music used in the game (for once). It’s epic and makes you feel like you’re in a massive aquarium. Happy wombat.
Wombat score: 3/5
