Sea Boat Adventure: Slot Review and Free Play Demo

Sea Boat Adventure Review

Slot developers seem to think that there is only one type of fish worth catching, and that’s the good ole’ bass. Of course, a certain Reel Kingdom is killing it with their slot series spun around this specimen, and other developers will naturally attempt to piggyback on that success. Max Win Gaming has even “borrowed” the title in their Sea Boat Adventure, but the gameplay and the features are unique to the fishing slot genre.

You get a top Fisherman Row where 2 different fisherman collector symbols can appear. The purple fisherman collects all fish prizes in view, while the more common yellow fisherman collects only fish prizes directly below. The fisherman himself can be seen above the grid, set against a stunning sunset in the background. The fisherman collect symbols become sticky in the bonus round, and the top fish prizes increase from 100x to 1,000x.

Sea Boat Adventure Slot Features

The premium fish character symbols pay between 6 and 15 x your stake, and the value is indicated by the size of the 4 different fish characters. There are no wild symbols in this game, but you can still collect instant money prizes via the system we’ll take a look at below.

The Fisherman Row is located above the main grid, and it’s active on all spins in all stages of the game. It comes with 5 positions that land either a valueless triple hook symbol, or the yellow and/or purple Fisherman symbols. The yellow fisherman symbol collects all fish prizes from the reel directly below, while the purple fisherman collects all fish prizes in view. The instant prizes appear on random fish symbols, and they range from 2 to 100 x your stake in the base game.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3, 4, or 5 scatters in view, and this awards 10, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively. You retrigger the bonus round by landing 3+ scatters on the same free spin, and both the yellow and the purple fisherman symbols become sticky when they appear on the top row in the bonus round. The instant prizes can go as high as x1,000 during the feature, and non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake.

You get an uneventful taste of the base game, before we purchase and trigger the bonus round at 0:33 into the 1:53-minute highlight video. We got the minimum of 10 free spins, and you can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Borrowing the ‘Big Bass’ title from the mega success series from Reel Kingdom hardly ensures that Sea Boat Adventure will be equally successful, and it’s a bit of a dick move to be honest. Red Tiger partner, Max Win Gaming, would be better off creating their own brand instead, as Sea Boat Adventure does offer a somewhat original take on the fishing slot concept. You don’t need the fisherman wild to collect prizes in this game, as this is taken care of by the top reel fisherman symbols instead.

Not all fish symbols land with instant prizes attached, however, which is a bit annoying at times. The fisherman symbols don’t appear all that often on the top reel either, and the prize values are limited in the base game. This puts somewhat of a damper on the experience, but the fish prizes increase to 1,000x in the bonus round. Getting persistent fisherman symbols help as well, and especially the purple one, of course. The 5,000x potential is decent in this genre, but we don’t see Reel Kingdom shaking in their pants over this release.
