Octopays

Octopays slots, underwater-themed game by Microgaming, have 5-reels and 243-ways to win, with wilds, a Kraken-inspired free spins feature round, and a $4,000 minimum jackpot!

The graphics in Octopays slot are undeniably crisp, and the game is undeniably simple.

The background music is serene and almost lovely, if it weren’t for the almost obscenely loud symbol and win sound effects that crash into it from time to time (some would say not often enough).

Octopays slot Wagers.

Coin sizes range from .01 to .50, and you can play up to 10 coins per coin wager. The game has been set to x30 as its wager multiplier, meaning you can choose your coin size and how many coins you’d like to play multiplied by 30.

Wagers will range then from .30 to 150.00 credits per game.

Octopays online slots Pay Table.

As a 243-ways slot game, there aren’t any paylines, per se. It’s actually a bit easier; all you need is to have identical symbols line up anywhere on adjacent reels starting from left to right.

You’ll need at least three symbols to win in Octopays. Object symbols award higher pays than Letter or Number symbols.

Octopays does not feature a scatter symbol since the Wild acts a scatter as well.

Is the baby orange Octopus symbol, which helps to form extra wins and can help to activate the game’s feature game, too:

• The Octopus Wild will substitute for all symbols.
• The Octopus symbol appears on Reel 2 and Reel 4 during the base game.
• When the Octopus appears twice, the Kraken free spins feature will trigger.

Octopays slot Kraken Feature.

A Baby Orange Octopus appearing on Reels 2 and 4 simultaneously will activate the Kraken Feature. You will instantly win 12 free spins:

• During the free spins, the Kraken can place up to four wild symbols anywhere on reels 1, 2, 4, and 5.
• During the free spins, the wild will substitute for any symbols except the Dark Squid symbol (for lack of a better description).
• If a wild cannot make a win, it will swim off the screen.

If a Dark Squid lands on the screen, any remaining wilds will “ink themselves”. This is good news because inked wilds are worth twice as much. All payouts with these inked wilds will double. At the conclusion of the payout, the remaining wilds will swim off the screen.

You’ve gotta hand it to Microgaming for a well-spun online slot feature. With luminous blue eyes peering over the reels, the Kraken watches you play its feature with almost palpable gloom. The Kraken feature cannot be retriggered.
