Introduction

Blue Oceans video slot is a 5-reel, 20-line game. The slot consists of 10 cards - 1 of which can be a Wild and a Scatter symbol. All winning combinations are paid left to right, except for Scatters.

How to Bet

Number of lines to play with is being selected. The selection is made through the panels located on both sides of the screen.
A wagering denomination (coin value) can be chosen by clicking any of the denomination buttons.
Line bets are chosen by clicking any of the five bet buttons in the lower center of the screen. The amount displayed on each of the bet buttons is the bet amount for the selected number of lines. When activating any of the bet buttons the player selects a bet and starts a game at the same time. Activation of those buttons is also possible by pressing „C“, „V“, „B“, „N“ and „M” buttons from the keyboard. Pressing „C“ button places the smallest bet, pressing „V“ button places next bet and so on.
In case the Paytable is open, the amounts related to the chosen bet value are shown. If the player presses any of the remaining bet buttons, a bet selection is made alone and the relevant payouts are shown in the Paytable. Only upon second activation of the same button the game is started.
If when activating a bet field there is a sum that was won, the animation of the increasing amount won in the “Win” field stops and the whole amount won is visualized.

Gamble Feature

In case of a winning, the player is given the option to access the Gamble round, by pressing the active button “Gamble”.

Gamble feature activates when Gamble screen is open and the card in the middle of the screen is face down and flashes red and black. The label “Gamble Attempts Left” shows the number of trials the player has for this game. The label “Gamble Amount” shows the amount the player would like to double in the game Gamble. The label “Gamble to Win” shows the amount which a player could win if he/she guesses the color of the card. There are two buttons to select: “Red” and “Black”. Clicking the “Black” button is also possible by clicking the „⇨“ from the keyboard. Clicking the “Red” button is also possible by clicking the „⇦“ from the keyboard. When selecting "Black" or "Red", the card is moved up in the screen and is kept as history. Last five cards from the player's session are kept in the History section.

If the player has guessed the color of the card, a new card appears in the middle of the screen face down and flashes red and black. This process continues until the player makes a wrong guess. The sequence of the cards is random and the player cannot predict the color of the next card based on the previous results. The sum from field “Gamble Amount” is shown in the field “Win”. If the player wishes to end the game “Gamble”, he/she activates the button “Collect”. The screen closes and the amount from the field “Win” is transferred to the field “Balance”. If the player does not guess the color of the card, the game Gamble ends, and the player loses the amount. The screen closes up. The amount from the field “Win” is lost, and does not add up to the Balance.

The maximum amount won that can be brought to the Gamble round is given in the Paytable.

The number of Gamble attempts is pre-defined and configured per game. The maximum number of attempts may vary between 1 and 5 depending on the applied settings per game.

RULES AND CONTROLS

Once triggered, the player is taken to the Jackpot Cards bonus game where a pick field made up of 12 cards face-down is displayed. The player selects cards by left-mouse click until revealing 3 matching card suit symbols. The Jackpot Cards Mystery level corresponding to the revealed suit will be awarded.
