The online video slot inspired by the novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville comes from the Austrian software developer Rabcat. A highly entertaining game available at Microgaming-powered casinos will take you on an overseas adventure with the Captain Ahab, set to take revenge on the colossal whale that had injured him once.
Graphically impressive, the game boasts cartoonish visuals and animations accompanied with an invigorating music score which sets the overall atmosphere of the game. The biggest draw of the 5-reel 25-payline slotn is the Win Freezing feature which will provide you with a chance of covering the reels with symbols of a kind and landing some hefty payouts.
Once you load the game, you will see an animated backdrop featuring the Captain Ahab on the prow of his ship Pequod. Moby Dick, Ahab himself, the anchor and ale mug award high-value payouts while the rest of positions are populated with playing card icons from 10s through As which constitute the lower parts of the paytable. They are designed to match the theme of the game looking as if made of steel, brass and wood. The ship's wheel stands for Wild while Scatter is represented as the whale's open mouth.
The game uses 5 reels and 25 fixed paylines. A bet per line can be between $0.01 and $2, so pick a value that suits you best and press the Spin button.
Once you have chosen a total bet value fro $0.25 and $50 per spin, you can also activate up to 100 uninterrupted spins.
To land a win, you have to match 3 or more symbols along a paying line, left to right in succession. The Gamble feature becomes active after each winning spin.
Wild will complete your winning combinations by substituting for all regular symbols. At the same time, it is, along with Moby Dick, the top paying symbol in the game, awarding 5,000 coins for a five of a kind combo. Whenever you create a winning combination, you will trigger the Win Freezing feature which keeps the winning symbols in their positions and awards a respin. Respins are awarded as long as new matching symbols or Wilds make the winning combinations larger.
You need 4 or more Scatters to trigger the free spins feature and win 10, 12, 15 or even 20 free games. During the feature, extra Wilds will be added to the middle reel. The feature can be retriggered, so up to 40 free spins can be won in total. The Win Freezing feature applies to Scatters too, so you can have an additional chance of triggering the free spins feature.
Nothing of the game's appearance won't be lost if you play it on your mobile device, but for more enjoyable gaming experience it is preferable to use a device with a larger screen. Take Moby Dick with you wherever you go and you can win up to 125,000 coins in a single spin.
