Yes – Why to play Wacky Waters
- With a name like that, you know the slot won’t take itself too seriously. We quite like that, to be perfectly honest. Each underwater denizen seems to have something going on. Friendly starfishes, paranoid stars, shy hermit crabs.. it’s great!
- There’s also a decent variety of available special features. Extra Wilds, cash prizes, multiplier and free spins all await gamblers who how to get what they want. We also like the fact one bonus ties into another, increasing your odds of winning big.
- The jackpot is a mouth-watering 225,000 coins! With a big prize like that, who could possibly resist?
No – Why not to play?
- At 95.58% RTP, Wacky Waters has a slightly higher than average house edge. Not nearly as bad as some other games, but still worth mentioning. Considering that there are Playtech slots (and of course other top paying online slots) which offer above 98% return, that’s a tough call. If you do play this slot try to do if with some beneficial cashable bonus to move the odds slightly in your direction.
