Octopus Armada- Blue Guru Games (Quick Review)

[Garf79]

                                                  

Another review from a small upcoming provider today, Blue Guru Games have only been on the scene just over a year now and they have a handful of pretty nice looking slots. Octopus Armada is set in a futuristic world where Octopuses or is it Octopi??? Have taken over the world! A group of scientists believed that the Octopus were not native inhabitants of Earth and came to end up here after crashing on a comet millions of years ago. And that is the background of this 5 reel, 3 row, 15 win line slot.

Octopus Armada from Blue Guru Games is available to play in Standard markets: UK, Malta, Sweden, Denmark, Romania, Croatia, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Ontario & Greece.

Base game:
Wilds duplicate once or twice into new reel positions to create the highest possible win combination.
Every spin with a wild has a chance to trigger the free game. The base game is fairly basic the sticky expanding/crawling wilds are a pretty fun mechanic but not a new one.

                       

 

Free spins:
For every 4 wilds landing, the lowest paying of the low-pay and high-pay symbols are removed from the reels.
For every 4 wilds landing, 4 free games are awarded. The free spins can go ballistic if you keep collecting the wilds then multiple wild lines are achievable and the slot can go off!

Octopus Armada is a well made slot using a very smooth graphics engine, the game play is pretty good and is accompanied very well by some great sound effects and Sci-Fi alien music. The hit rate for this slot is just over 25% making it a medium-low slot. The max win is 3079x which is not too shabby, Min bet is 30c max bet is 200e. So hitting a max win on a high stake I would not say no to. This is a medium volatility slot with variable RTP. Why do providers make games that have variable RTP? Well in my opinion it is because they are greedy and use the variable RTP to get their games on smaller casinos that get less players, if they have to give less RTP back it is more profit for them- And should be banned in my opinion! Set RTP that is standard for all casinos to make it fair for everyone. RTP varies from 89.85 to 95.78%. Overall and ok game nothing to write home about though.
