Lord of the Ocean 10 Win Ways and the Slot Family

In short: Lord of the Ocean 10: Win Ways is a separate Greentube title that drops paylines for two reel sets worth 251,957 ways. Its scatter hands out 8, 12 or 20 free games, where the original slot always gives ten.

The sequel keeps the theme and changes almost everything else. Two reel sets replace ten lines, a trident replaces the gate as wild, and the free games arrive in three different sizes.

Game:
Lord of the Ocean (a Novomatic video slot, distributed online by Greentube)
Type:
Slot game
RTP as published:
Not one number but a set of versions, and this title documents that better than almost any other because its licensees disagree in public, in writing, inside the same regulated markets.
Max win:
Four different ceilings are published for this title, all by named licensed operators, and they do not agree.
Note: Lord of the Ocean 10: Win Ways is credited to Greentube rather than to Novomatic, which is true of only three titles in this family and of none of the originals. Paylines give way to two reel sets, and the game pays from 251,957 ways. A trident serves as its wild, and three, four or five scatters open the feature.

Everything below comes from the distributor's own catalogue of 742 online games and from the binding game conditions Austria's state operator publishes, ordered from the closest relative to the furthest.

What Changes in the Sequel

Paylines disappear. The original pays along whichever of its ten lines you have switched on; the sequel pays on adjacent symbols across two separate reel sets. The wild changes species too, from a gate to a trident.

That trident sits on reels two to five of both sets. It also carries across from the first set into the second, a mechanic the original has no equivalent for.

Scatters behave differently as well.

On the sequel they land only on reels one, three and five. What they hand out is free games rather than a multiple of the total bet. That is a real break from the original. There the gate pays a cash multiple of the whole stake wherever it lands, and triggers the feature on top of it. Two jobs in the first game, one job in the second.

Where 251,957 Ways Comes From

We have not played the sequel. What we did instead was read the binding game conditions Austria's state operator publishes for it, add the two figures by hand, and match the title against the distributor's own catalogue entry. Everything below comes from those three readings, and where the original is mentioned we did play that one.

We added the ways up ourselves rather than repeat the number.

The number is an addition, and Austria's game conditions supply both halves. The left reel set shows two to five symbols per reel, which caps it at 3,125 ways. The right set shows four to twelve and reaches 248,832.

How the Two Reel Sets Add Up

Reel setSymbols per reelMaximum ways
Left settwo to five3,125
Right setfour to twelve248,832
Both sets togethercombined total251,957

Figures current as of ; the operator's live terms prevail.

This is one of the rare cases where a catalogue figure checks out. It survives because the operator obliged to publish binding conditions printed both halves of the sum.

Free Games Arrive in Three Sizes

Count the scatters and you know the length: three, four or five of them award 8, 12 or 20 free games. The original hands out ten whatever the trigger. That one difference makes the two features easier to tell apart than the shared artwork suggests, and it is the quickest way to work out which title a screenshot actually came from.

The paytable is quoted on a different basis too. The sequel prices its symbol values against the total bet, while the original prices nine of its ten symbols against the line bet.

Austria's state operator publishes a return of about 95.15% for the sequel, a shade above the 95.10% the original client states about itself. Both figures belong to particular deployments rather than to the titles in general.

The Rest of the Family

We searched the distributor's catalogue of 742 online games for the name and kept what came back. Seven titles carry it, and they vary in a strict sense rather than a loose one. Magic changes the feature outright. Its expanding symbol only spreads on two or three appearances, and every retrigger adds another bonus symbol, up to nine at once.

Bonus Spins and the video bingo spin-off round out the online set. One German casino publishes a return of 90.00% for Bonus Spins, five points below what the original client prints about itself.

Which Ones You Cannot Play Online

Three of the names people search for are cabinet machines.

We checked each one against the online catalogue before saying so. Lord of the Ocean 6 switches on a sixth reel through a paid EXTRA BET in the base game. Novomatic lists it among its land-based products.

The two Golden Link titles sit further away still. They collect Poseidon coins towards progressive prizes, which is a different design wearing the same sea.

None of the three appears in the 742-game online catalogue the distributor publishes. If your lobby offers something called Lord of the Ocean 6, it is not this slot.
