By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 10 June 2026

Gold Coin Studios have developed a new video slot as an exclusive release for the partner Microgaming. Features include free spins, expanding wilds, regular wilds and scatters.

Slot details

Available to play across all devices, Aquatic Treasures is a 5 reel, 3 row video slot with 20 paylines. Wagering starts from 20p up to £100 per spin on this medium variance slot with an RTP of 96.03%The semi-transparent reels lie deep in the ocean with various sea creatures swimming around. Symbols are the 10 to the Ace royals, along with bright green, blue and purple gems. The latter having the highest value with 5 on a payline paying out x7.5 of your wager.The dolphin is the wild symbol and will only appear on the 2^nd,3^rd and 4^th reels. These will expand to make the entire reel wild and they can substitute for all other symbols, even the scatter which shows 2 dolphins circling a white pearl.

Gameplay

Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the 1^st, 2^nd and 3rd reels on the same spin will award x2, x5 or x25 of your wager respectively, and give you 8 free spins with extra wild symbols added to the reels. This feature can be re-triggered.Well what can say about Aquatic Treasures? The game is pretty basic all round. Potential wins of x357.25 of your wager is pretty low compared to other slots but might have some appeal to casual players. The graphics are pretty plain and outdated and the only upside to the game was the animated dolphin.
