Today, I decided to share with you something quite unusual. It may not be so weird for all of you who just read my posts from time to time, however, my friends will die laughing when they read the title! Either way, I feel it’s important to let you a bit closer even though I risk getting a mermaid nickname for the rest of my life. Paul, if you are reading this, please don’t even consider calling me Ariel! So, here it goes, guys! I have a favourite slot and it’s not Game of Thrones (which would have been so masculine)- It’s the Mermaids Millions! Now that I’ve confessed, let me give you a decent explanation.

How it All Began

Casino Gambling Magazines

Mermaids Millions is one of the old Microgaming video slots which have unimpressive graphics, simple soundtrack and the classic 5-reel, 3-row layout. I would have never even though about giving it a try until one day I accidentally landed on an online casino forum. I found a topic where people were discussing their favourite online slots and although I didn’t share my slot preferences I spent a good hour following a writing debate between an old lady and a younger boy. The old lady had Mermaids Millions as her favourite slot and was trying to prove the boy wrong as he was convinced all retro-looking games should be banned. Somewhere between the lines, I’ve spotted the lady bragging with a £10,000 win and I felt curious to at least peek at this Microgaming creation. And so, I did.

The Underwater Rules

The game has 15 paylines and an underwater theme. The overall look was really not so entertaining or as the boy has written – “the dullest thing I’ve ever come across”. There were two additional features, a free spin round and a treasure chest bonus game. Both of these awarded pretty generously, and I slowly started to get the old lady’s point. All free spins came with an x3 multiplier, King Neptune was the Wild and the highest winning symbol, whilst the mermaid was Scatter. I started playing with the smallest bet available – £0.15 but as I got to know the features, I found my balance at £1 per spin.

The Outcome

The thing is, my first session ended up with me going in with £100 and leaving with £160. I felt so lucky and decided to stop so that I don’t jink it. From that day, I somehow find myself always gravitating towards the underwater treasure world when my other game adventures didn’t seem to be so awarding. This Microgaming oldie became my go-to option when nothing else was going right! And it works every time! That’s why I gave it the game the daring title – My Lucky slot! If you want to make it your lucky slot as well, here is my permission! Explore the key details and play the Mermaids Millions slot for free at slots.info. Just remember, this is only how I like to reverse my unlucky moments and it’s probably just a superstition. But it wouldn’t hurt to give it at least a try! Because who knows, maybe the slot is magic!
