This will be a tiki tour of Pearly Shores, with all the important aspects explained to the very last detail. Kiwis love the beach. That is a well-known fact, and I personally enjoy playing pokie machines that take me to exotic sea resorts. Who would say no to a chance to spend a day on hot sands and crystal-clear sea and win some bucks along the way, eh?
You will not get burnt by the sun when spinning the reels because you will be sitting in the shade, with your surfboard on the right side, and the palm tree on the left. The grid is placed on the sun, which will make some of the symbols go on fire from time to time.
Enjoy a lovely view of the extremely long beach, with flower petals falling down from the sky as you play the game.
The highest-paying regular symbol is the blue tortoise, so be on the lookout for this amazing creature when you get on your surfboard. When you get tired, relax with the sounds of drums that also appear on the reels.
Use the hand-made hook to catch some dinner, or have a taste of the delicious fruit. Coconuts, pineapples, oranges, kiwis, and other exotic fruits act as icons. Finally, there is Flower Scatter, which triggers free spins. Unfortunately, no Wilds are present on the reels.
Pearly Shores pokie is played on a 5×6 grid, with the Pay Anywhere mechanic. This means that symbols will deliver payouts wherever they land on the screen. The only important thing is to land at least 8 of the same symbols at once. This will activate cascading reels, so more wins from a single spin are possible.
The lowest bet is $0.10. Players cannot wager more than $90 per spin. The Octoplay title is of medium variance and has an RTP of 95.79%. The maximum win is 10,958x the bet per spin.
The beach can be a place for rest and a place for action, depending on the way you want to spend your vacation. Pearly Shores offers a bit of both, with more than enough additional features. For some of them, you will have to make certain efforts. Others will occur on random occasions.
Every winning spin will trigger cascading reels. On random spins, Red Blaze and Blue Blaze multipliers will appear. Finally, the Free Spins feature is triggered with 3+ Flower Scatters and offers Pearl Multipliers. If you do not want to wait for Scatters to appear in a required number, use the Buy Feature option.
Cascading reels feature is triggered every time you land a win. Winning symbols disappear and new icons land in vacant positions. I love this feature because it always gives me a chance to pocket multiple payouts on a single spin.
Every now and then, certain symbols will appear on the reels framed either by the Red Blaze or Blue Blaze. If you land a win with symbols that are framed with the Red Blaze, the win will be boosted by a 5x multiplier. As for symbols carrying the Blue Blaze, they come with a 10x multiplier.
I did not have much luck with these multipliers. They delivered only a couple of smaller wins.
With 3+ Scatters on the grid, you can trigger 10 free spins. Well, 3 Scatters give you 10 free spins. Each additional Scatter brings 2 extra spins, up to a maximum of 25. During the feature, 3+ Scatters grant additional free spins.
Pearl Multipliers appear on random free spins, carrying different multipliers, which can go up to 100x. Once on the reels, Pearl Multiplier will double after every cascade, up to the maximum of 100x. If more of them are present, they are added together after a non-winning cascade and applied to the total win.
It was hard for me to trigger the Free Spins feature. However, once I got in, I had a great time with Pearl Multipliers. On one of the spins, 3 Pearl Multipliers combined to give me a 170x total multiplier.
For those of you who do not want to wait for Scatters to appear, there is the Buy feature option, which costs 120x the bet. I never recommend it because it rarely pays more than you invest.
I really had a nice time testing the Pearly Shores pokie machine. The visuals are excellent, the background made me feel as if I am really spending time on a sandy beach, with a cocktail in my hand.
The RTP of the game could have been a bit higher, being just shy of 96%. The Blue Blaze and Red Blaze appear fairly often but do not help award payouts that much. Triggering the Free Spins feature will take time. However, once in, you can expect delicious wins.
My advice to you is to avoid the Buy Feature button. It is too expensive and rarely worth the money. I rate the Octoplay title 7.9 out of 10.
