How to Play Mermaid's Treasure Trove

1. Set your bet between AUD 0.20 and AUD 240 using the +/- controls.
2. Spin the 7×7 grid. Wins form when 5 or more matching symbols connect horizontally and vertically.
3. Tumble feature: winning clusters explode and new symbols fall in to fill the gaps. Cascades continue while wins land.
4. After a non-wild win clears, a new x1 Multiplier Wild drops into an empty position on the grid.
5. Each time that wild contributes to a winning cluster, its multiplier increases by +1.
6. If multiple wilds connect in the same win, they merge into one wild with combined multipliers (the wild with the highest-paying symbol takes precedence).
7. Regular pay symbols can randomly carry x5–x100 multipliers — these add to wild multipliers in wins, or spawn a new wild if no wild is in the cluster.
8. Land 3+ scatters anywhere to trigger 10–18 free spins where wilds persist for the entire round.
9. Ante Bet (+50% stake) boosts the chance of triggering free spins.
10. Feature Buy: 100x for standard free spins, or 400x for super free spins where wilds start with x10.

Our Verdict

After a documented 1,000-spin test session at AUD 0.40 per spin, Mermaid's Treasure Trove scored 8.3/10. The base game is competent but slightly hypnotic — the "doop-doop" reel-settle sound, calm underwater visuals and steady cluster wins lull you into autopilot. Where the game wakes up is in the multiplier wilds mechanic.

When any win clears without a wild, a new x1 wild drops into an empty cell. Each subsequent win that involves it bumps the multiplier +1. When wilds merge in a single winning cluster, their multipliers combine — meaning you can end up with one big wild carrying x30+ after a strong tumble chain.

Pay-symbol multipliers (x5–x100) are the second layer. They land randomly on regular symbols, and when those symbols form a winning cluster, their multipliers fold into any wild in the win (or create a new wild with the combined value). Stacked together, this produces some genuinely huge in-feature payouts.

Free spins are where the game really delivers. Wilds don't leave the screen until the feature ends, and any wilds present on the triggering spin carry over. The 400x super buy starts with x10 wilds active, which is the value play — small base wins instantly become 10x bigger.

The 10,000x cap is fair for the volatility profile, and big wins feel earned rather than lucky.

⚠️ Pragmatic Play licenses lower-RTP versions (95.51%, 94.50%). Always check the in-game info panel before depositing AUD or NZD.

Our Test Session

Result ran hot thanks to one strong free-spin round where two x20 wilds merged into a single x47 monster on spin 6. Full screenshot log available on request.

Tips & Strategy

• The 400x Super Buy starting with x10 wilds is the value pick — small clusters instantly hit 10x multipliers
• During free spins, bigger wild stacks are better than spreading them out — merging combines multipliers into single beasts
• Track pay-symbol multipliers — a single x100 fruit landing in a winning cluster can singlehandedly produce a 200x+ win
• Ante Bet doubles your chance of free spins at a 50% cost — solid value if your bankroll allows
• Aim for long tumble chains — every cleared cluster has a chance to seed a new x1 wild
• The 10,000x max win lands roughly 1 in 4 million spins — high but achievable
• Avoid grey-market 94.50% RTP versions
• Demo first — get a feel for how wilds spawn and merge before committing real AUD
