Microgaming’s latest release, “Emperor of The Sea” takes players on an underwater adventure to the Dragon Emperor’s Kingdom in search of gold and riches. The Asian-themed slot has 5 Reels, each of them packed with stacked wilds and some Chinese symbols of wealth. Players can choose to play with 38, 68 or 88 paylines, depending on their desired payouts. The aquatic-themed slot is yet another addition to Microgaming’s collection of animated slots and will certainly get people talking. For the fans, and critics alike, here’s everything you need to know about the slot.
Multiple Paylines
One of the things that will get people talking about the video slot is its many pay lines, which range from 38 to 88. Quite frankly, the pay lines on Emperor of The Sea are way more than you will find in other slots, which is kind of a pleasant surprise. As a result, Emperor of The Sea has some of the biggest payouts among similar slots, which will definitely add up to its popularity. On the downside though, a slot with as many paylines is relatively difficult to win which may not bode well with some players. Good thing is, Microgaming allows players to select their own paylines, which means one doesn’t need to play at the maximum 88 pay lines. Well.
Oriental Undertones
There is no doubt that Microgaming made this slot with the Asia market in mind, or was inspired by Asian sea legends. Everything about the game, except the UI language (English), screams Asian. Right from the soundtrack, which by the way is a great Oriental track, to the wild symbols and even the storyline. The slot takes players on a roller coaster through the Asian sea underworld where ghosts and other aquatic creatures reign supreme. Nonetheless, this Oriental obsession is not new even for Microgaming fans, as the company has played around similar themes in slots such as Asian Beauty and Win Sum Dim Sum.

Free Spins Feature
The free spins feature is arguably one of the best things about the “Emperor of the Sea slot”. The free spins feature is triggered by the appearance of the Golden Ingot symbol on the reels, with 8 spins being unlocked. This does not look or sound like a lot, but if played the right way, one can actually make a lot of progress with the 8 spins. What more, Microgaming have integrated some additional features to the free spins, as explained below:
- Rolling reels – This feature gives players an opportunity to replace the symbols required to create a winning combination with new symbols in each round. Thus, you can be able to extend your winning streak over several rounds.
- Growing Wilds – Really, what’s a slot without growing wilds? Microgaming boosts up your possible wins in this slot by having wilds that ‘grow’ by 1 for each free spin. For the stacked wilds, the growth rate is about 2 wilds per free spin, to a maximum of 15.
Game Symbols
Emperor of The Sea is pretty much a very basic anime slot with some cartoon-style graphics and effects. The 5-Reel slot contains symbols such as gold coin pots, ships, koi carps, turtles, and golden ingots. The Dragon Emperor is also represented as a symbol and is a component of the winning combination. On the reels are playing card symbols with familiar letters and numbers like A, K, Q, J, 9, and 10. All these mean something in the game and should put a smile on your face when they appear.
Conclusion
Emperor of the Sea is not one of those sophisticated slots that are popular with gaming geeks, neither is it an over-simplistic game. It is simply a basic, easy to play and very rewarding slot and is sure to captivate a lot of hearts. Nonetheless, it packs too many symbols and paylines which might interfere with players’ winning chances and it is actually great to see Microgaming already did something to prevent backlash by allowing players to choose their paylines. Otherwise, the Emperor of The Sea is a good play and further solidifies Microgaming’s position as an online gaming juggernaut.
