Golden Octopus

Golden Octopus is a video slot game developed by Onlyplay, released in July 2024. The game features an underwater theme with vibrant ocean visuals and calming sound effects, creating a serene atmosphere.

Golden Octopus utilizes a cluster pays mechanic instead of traditional paylines. Players win by forming connected clusters (horizontally or vertically) of five or more symbols of the same type. Winning symbols explode after a payout, triggering new symbols to cascade down and fill the empty spaces. This cascading mechanic continues until no new winning clusters are formed.

Bonus Features:

• Free Spins Progress Bar: Filling the progress bar located beside the grid unlocks Free Spins. More clusters formed during a spin contribute more to the progress bar. Three colored buoys positioned on the bar trigger the explosion of specific symbols on the grid when reached. Reaching fewer buoys awards a higher number of Free Spins (ranging from 10 to 25).
• Free Spins Mode: During Free Spins, a multiplier bar increases wins. Forming winning clusters fills the multiplier bar, unlocking progressively higher multipliers (from x2 to x100). The multiplier bar resets after each Free Spin.
• Hedgehog Fish Booster (Fugu Fish Booster): This unique feature allows players to strategically clear the entire grid and trigger a symbol cascade. A bar around the booster symbol fills with each bet placed. Once filled, players can manually activate the booster for a potential advantage.

An Interesting Feature:

The Hedgehog Fish Booster (Fugu Fish Booster) adds a layer of strategic gameplay to Golden Octopus. By allowing players to choose when to clear the grid and trigger a cascade, this feature offers the potential to influence the outcome of a spin and potentially lead to bigger wins.
