Aquatic Treasures Coast 2 Coast Review

We weren’t exactly merciful in our review of the original Aquatic Treasures, calling it a “feeder fish being dropped into a shark tank of volatile beasts”. Gold Coin Studios seem unconcerned by our harsh criticism however, as they’ve taken their chances with a sequel. Aquatic Treasures Coast 2 Coast lifts the audiovisual experience to a new level, which amplifies the tranquil atmosphere of the underwater world.

The gemstone symbols have been replaced by subsea animals, which is a good choice, but the gameplay is very similar to the first game. Everything still revolves around the expanding dolphin wilds, and you’ll see even more of them when the bonus round triggers. The potential has been more than doubled, from 357x to 800x in this follow-up, but that’s hardly enough to even register on the radar of experienced punters.

Aquatic Treasures Coast 2 Coast Slot Features

The sea creature premium symbols pay between 20 and 40 x your stake for 5 of a kind, and you can win both from the left to the right and vice versa. The dolphin Wild symbol steps in for all pay symbols to help complete wins, and it always expands to cover the entire reel whenever it appears. The dolphin wild can only appear on the 3 middle reels, however.

The Wild symbol can also substitute for bonus symbols, and thus help trigger the Bonus Round.

The bonus symbol looks like 2 golden dolphins swimming around a pearl, and landing 3, 4 or 5 instances of this symbol on a payline awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively.

You also win a small scatter payout of 2x, 4x or 10x your stake from the triggering spin, respectively, and you can retrigger the feature for up to 40 free spins in total per session. Extra wilds are added to the reel strips in the feature, making expanding wilds hit more frequently than in the base game.

Review Summary

There are far more popular releases in Gold Coin Studios' relatively limited back catalog that they could’ve chosen for a sequel, and Aquatic Treasures seems like a strange choice in that regard. The visuals presentation is way better and more engaging in this follow-up though, we’ll give them that, but the math model is still way below par. The Microgaming partner could’ve taken this opportunity to “go grand”, but they clearly haven’t taken our previous review to heart.

You still get expanding/merging dolphin wilds in all stages of the game, and they can still help trigger the bonus round.

Adding multipliers to the wilds would’ve been an obvious upgrade to liven things up a bit, but there is no such thing here. The 800x potential may be more than twice what you got in the original game, but it’s still not impressive. Newbies and casual punters may enjoy this soothing subsea rollercoaster though, and it does have an aura of innocence that may lift your spirits after you’ve taken a hit in another more brutal game.

Pros

• Expanding wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4
• Win both ways in all stages of the game
• FS w/ more frequent expanding wilds

Cons

• The 800x potential is very low
• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
