Sun Tide

Sun Tide, a video slot game from the good folks at Microgaming, is exactly what you think of when you think of an online slot machine. There's a colorful gameplay screen, solid wild and scatter action, and none of the extras that can make slot machine games confusing. Sun Tide is a solid title for players at any level of expertise.

The game has five reels and three rows in a big, standard grid that's easy to see no matter what size screen you're playing. That's right, Sun Tide has been optimized for gameplay on computers, laptops, tablets and mobile devices. It features nine pay lines, which you can see displayed on the left and right sides of the screen. Simply hover over them to see where they pay out. The maximum you can win is 75,000 credits, and the return to player ratio is 96.5%.

The icons for this game are the classics you may have seen on old-school slots in casinos, and include diamonds, sevens, gold bells, bars, oranges, watermelons, lemons, strawberries and double cherries.

The scatter icon is a picture of a tropical scene with a sunset over the tide. It will deliver 15 free spins whenever three or more of them appear on the screen, but it pays out for just two on the reels.

The solid gold “S” medallion is the wild card. It can substitute for any icon you need to win except for the scatter. It can also expand to cover an entire reel on reels two, three and four, which gives you great opportunities for a win. This symbol, too, pays out for just two on the reels.
