Play 888 Turtles For Real Money With Bonus
888 Turtles Slots
Located across a tranquil lake shrouded in morning mist is where you will discover the world of 888 Turtles, a real money slot machine by GamesOS.
Given the setting and the title’s name, it comes as no surprise that this is an Asian-inspired game, bearing a strong resemblance in appearance to what you may have encountered before. The music even sounds so familiar that you could hum it in your sleep without ever having played this game.
While the sense of familiarity may not initially seem positive, in this case, it actually is, as it allows you to dive right in well-prepared for what to expect, rather than tentatively skirting around the periphery of the 5-reels. With free games and over 200 ways to win, this slot falls into the medium variance and low to medium volatility category; shall we test its mettle as we give it a spin?
Streamlined and Compact
We cannot overemphasize how crucial user-friendly controls are for the success of a slot machine – they can be the deciding factor between giving it a try or walking away altogether. In the case of 888 Turtles, the interface is sleek and compact, allowing for smooth usability and flexibility. Everything you need is at the bottom of the screen, with more detailed information available via the ‘?’ widget on the left-hand side.
One particularly clever and convenient feature of the settings here is that the Total Bet display and the (-)/(+) buttons detail your overall wager breakdown; for instance, playing 0.25 credits equates to 0.01 coin value for the final amount. This characteristic is rather unique to this online slot, especially one that eschews traditional paylines in favor of 243 ways to play.
Despite this innovative design element, the option for a maximum bet has been omitted, which may seem peculiar considering stakes can reach up to 375 credits in total.
In addition, there is a Turbo button available that actually speeds up the reels, unlike some buttons that claim to do so but fall short, as well as Autospins that can keep playing until you trigger the free games.
Dilemma
The ‘bonus round’ in 888 Turtles is a free spins feature, which may not appeal to some players, but GamesOS has attempted to add excitement by incorporating multipliers. Various levels of free games are awarded, with multipliers varying for each tier. The twist lies in the fact that the more spins you receive, the lower the multiplier becomes. It’s a dilemma – you can’t have it both ways.
For example, if you achieve the full 20 spins, you will only receive a multiplier ranging from x2 to x5, whereas with 5 spins, you could receive multipliers between x10 and x30.
We appreciate the fact that you are rewarded either way, although there is a certain level of harshness that maintains the intensity of the gameplay, ensuring that you don’t lose interest too quickly. Undoubtedly, many players will keep trying until they hit the ‘perfect combination’, if such a thing even exists in this feature… we remain skeptical.
High, Medium, and Low
The paytable has been divided into three sections, making it easier for you to discern the value of the symbols. You can easily differentiate the higher-ranking symbols from the lower ones, as the former are adorned with decorative tiles rather than card values.
Furthermore, the top-ranking symbols are the ones most suited to the game: a money tree and a serene fountain, both complementing the design and theme.
In terms of the highest base payout, achieving five money trees will earn you 1,000 credits, which may not sound like a significant sum to many. However, bear in mind that this does not take into account the feature game or its multipliers. It is important to note that increasing your bet will not enhance the monetary outcome – you can enter with the minimum amount and still have as much of a chance as the high rollers.
Where are the Turtles?
As we reach the end of the game, it becomes apparent that we have yet to encounter these turtles. Surely, we are not alone in feeling somewhat disappointed? While the golden turtle symbol is present, it fails to appear in sufficient quantities to justify the game’s name…
Setting aside this ‘issue’ momentarily, the actual gameplay of this online slot is superb, as are the prizes; while they may not be as substantial as in other games, those titles do not offer the same abundance of winning opportunities. Moreover, for such a low initial investment, the potential winnings are rather generous.
