About Ariana slot machine
Ariana from the developer Microgaming is a underwater mermaid adventure that lets you explore the deep sea and hunt for treasure. This high-quality slot provides for great entertainment and outstanding winning opportunities. It does not feature a bonus game, but you can trigger free spins with stacked symbols that offer you the chance to win a lot of money.
The graphics of the game have been beautifully designed and the developer has put a lot of thought into the creation. They show the pretty mermaid Ariana, a sea dragon, a treasure chest, a coral reef and the card symbols that are used for the lower paying combinations.
The variance of the game is low to medium, as you will probably have a few spins without any winnings, but once you get to the free spins you will probably win a decent amount. The winning frequencies are enough to keep you entertained for a while.
Stacked symbols
The game has a special stacked symbols feature, which means that symbols can appear stacked and cover the entire reel. The symbol of the mermaid can appear as a symbol stack on every reel, whereas the other symbols can only appear as a symbol stack on reel 1. If during the base game you get a symbol stack covering the entire first reel, all other identical symbols on the screen will expand, enabling you to get some decent amount of money. They will only expand if they are part of a winning combination.
The wild symbol
The symbol showing the game name is the wild symbol, and it can substitute for all other symbols to form the best possible winning combination, but it does not replace the scatter symbol. During the free spins the symbol can also appear as a stacked symbol covering up to 3 positions on the reel it appeared on.
The scatter symbol
The symbol showing a starfish is the scatter symbol, and it will pay out if you get at least two of these anywhere on the screen. If you get more than 3 scatters you will also be awarded the free spins bonus game.
The free spins
If you get 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels you will trigger 15 free spins. During the free spins you can also win additional free games if you get more scatter symbols. The wild symbol can appear as a symbol stack, and if you get a high-paying symbol as a symbol stack on the first reel other identical symbols on the screen will expand, including the wild symbol, if they are part of a winning combination.
