Moby Dick Slot Game Review
Pokie players will probably sympathise with the character of Captain Ahab from Moby Dick, a man driven mad by his obsession with chasing an enormous white whale that took his leg many years ago. Who hasn’t gone a little crazy chasing that next big win in a slot game before? In Moby Dick, you get to join Ahab on the hunt by veteran developers Microgaming. While the captain was eventually killed in the attempt, maybe you’ll be able to come out of this encounter with your life and a wedge of cash for your troubles? Let’s find out in our Moby Dick slot game review.
Background
Moby Dick has excellent, stylish graphics that are up there with the best we’ve ever seen. The background to the reels is a storm-tossed sea on which Captain Ahab sails his ship, menacingly wielding a harpoon as he searches for Moby Dick. The style is reminiscent of claymation, so this slot has a very distinctive style we think you’ll love. The low-value symbols are the standard 9 – A, but you can forgive them because they look good. Each symbol is shown on a box or crate relative to its worth, so the nine is etched onto a wooden box while the King is engraved on a silver box, and the Ace is picked out in gold. The higher value symbols include anchors, pewter mugs, Moby Dick, Ahab, and special symbols. The animations and sound effects are also fantastic, from the sea noises in the background to the smooth and detailed animations of the sea behind the reels and the whale swallowing the captain to begin the bonuses.
In terms of the actual gameplay, the Moby Dick slot game is pretty straightforward, featuring four reels and three rows with 25 paylines to bet your £/€/$50 limit on. While it’s pretty clear that doesn’t mean that this slot doesn’t pay well, and to prove it, we can tell you that both the ship’s wheel wild and Moby Dick pay 10,000x your stake if you manage to land five, while Ahab pays a very respectable 2000x. It’s a high variance slot, which explains the average RTP of 96%, but you’ll win big!
Bonuses
Moby Dick isn’t exactly packed with features, but there are a couple of bonuses that should you’re your whistle. The frozen wilds feature is activated randomly in the main game, and sometimes wilds that land will be frozen into blocks of ice by the chilly sea and will stick in place on the reels. When this happens, you’ll get a free spin, then more free spins until no more wilds land to add to the existing combo. On top of this is the free spins round, activated by landing four or more scatters with 20 free spins awarded if you land seven or more, during which the frozen wilds feature may also start to give you even bigger wins.
CasinoNZ Verdict
Moby Dick is a fantastic looking pokie that uses cutting edge graphics and animation to show off its theme. The prizes aren’t half bad either, and while the primary game may be unforgiving, it can also be generous if you land a top prize. The bonuses could be better, but we can’t complain that the main game is so lucrative!
